On a Scale from 1-10... - Uniontown,PA

What would you rate your sex life? Yes, this is a more for fun question, but not entirely! I asked my husband this... what he rated our sex life and I have to say that I was a little surprised. I won't go into detail just yet about what he said, but it was food for thought, and it's prompting a really interesting conversation with my husband... his biggest issue is with me not initiating enough, which I mentioned in a recent question, which I knew was an issue. :)

So, speaking to the level of your satisfaction with your love life, what do you rate it on a scale from 1-10? What would it take to bump your number up? How about your partner? How do they rate it?

(This is for you, Jen F... to make your day go by faster... ;)

What can I do next?

I would say 8 ish.
It would take more daily affection to bump it to a 10. We've been together 16 years and work opposite schedules. Sometimes we just pass each other...we both need to be better about kisses and hugs and the I love you's! The sex itself is still pretty fabulous and neither one of us have complaints about the frequency.
My husbands says a 9 :) he said in order for it to be a 10 I need to learn to be ok being naked and not trying to cover up or keep the lights off!

I would love to say a 10, but....hehe
9 probably. Most of the time its a 10. But me and my hubby go through these "I feel gross" phases hhah
He needs to get in shape, and feels un attractive. But he also wont get off his bum and do it. I still find him REALLY sexy.
At the same time I go through those moments too.

We probably have sex 3-4times a week sometimes more, sometimes less. In all the years we have been together I can think of only ONE time where I can say I didn't enjoy it. And I can thank alcohol for that lol

First, we all need to be sure to realize FREQUENCY does NOT equal SATISFACTION. This is a common discussion between partners.

I would rate mine a 10. No, I am not kidding. I cannot ask hubby, he is at work, but my guess is he would say the same.

Why do you do this to me at work!?!!

You didn't offer a 0!

My husband and I haven't had sex in years. That's where we're at in our marriage. I couldn't take it anymore so he's been sleeping on the couch for months now. We've been roommates for years so might as well stop pretending, right? We get along better now that we're not pretending. I was like sleeping with my brother or something.

How would I bump that number up? Well, if we had sex it would bring the number down to the negatives. Long story.

Zero. (sniff)

Or maybe a 0.5 (hey, I can dream, I've got a pretty vivid imagination)

I used to have AMAZING sex with my husband all the time (daily and more often... i agree, quantity does NOT equal quality or satisfaction, but I've got a wicked high drive). For 9 years.

Now... like someone else... adding sex would drop the zero down into the negative numbers. I do not, and will not (willingly) have sex with him. I haven't willingly had sex with him in a year. (Nor anyone else. One of my dad's favorite curses was "May your legs grow together!" Sniff. I feel like I have been cursed. The muffin shop is CLOSED.)

On a scale of 1-10? Um............ TWELVE! lol. Really, we have a great sex life, but since 10 is the highest the scale goes, I say 10 and I know my husband feels the same. :)

answers from La Crosse on

What sex life? I was just thinking of this today and realized its been a month... got to love that "monthly" reminder.

He works M-Th leaves at 4am gets home at 4pm. Is in bed at the same time as the kids 9 and asleep by 9:05.

I work 1-2 nights a week and all weekend. I leave at 5pm get home after 10pm. On nights we are home at the same time he is too tired

But when it does happen I'd say a 4. He is very passive, likes one positon and speed... foreplay is kissing, mouth only. Me on the other hand likes more than one on all of the above ;) But I can say he always makes sure I "get there" first. So he gets bonus points there.. that's why its a 4 hehe.

yes we have had MANY talks about this, but it doesn't change. Maybe I should have him "rate" it maybe that will open his mind more if he knew "me and my sexlife" was a 10! Gotta keep energizer stocks up!!

8.8!!! We have room for improvement, but we are BOTH very happy with our sex life and if he initiated more romantically, I would bump it up to a solid 9 or so.

answers from Savannah on

I would say a 6 or so. When we have sex, it's amazing, but we definitely don't do it as often as either of us would like. I am a busy stay at home mom of a 9 month old, and my husband has a demanding military job. He is not deployed but still has long hours or days when he can't come home at all. Sometimes we are too tired and other times we don't have the time together, and other times, we have a baby interrupting things! I am thankful for what we have when we have it . . . I guess its quality over quantity!

answers from Kansas City on

Hmmm...this is interesting.

Well, between a 3 year old, a 2 year old, and co-sleeping with both, we are lucky to have a chance 2 times a month. We both want it more, but with his work and school schedule, (works nights 50-60 hours per week PLUS goes to school full time after work) by the time he gets home he eats and goes to bed for the day.

I don't know how to rate it, we still have the chemistry, passion, ect. when we do have the time, but it happenes less often than we both want. So I would say maybe a 4?

I would rate mine at probably a five because of the infrequency. My guy us not much of an intitiator. Sometimes,if I say something about it he will make and effort. It is good when we do have sex. He surprised me this past weekend and was the initiator and he was very in to it which was a nice change of pace. Good luck

I'd say 9. I hope hubby would rate it highly as well, I suspect he would :)

I agree that frequency does not equal quality. We have a 3 1/2 year old and a 5 month old, and I'm TIRED, so sex isn't as frequent as either of us would like, but when it happens it is consistently very very good.
