View Poll Results: Women, how do you feel about sex?
I love sex.
68
86.08%
I don’t really like sex… but endure it sometimes but would rather not.
Re: women ... do you like/love sex or dislike/hate sex?
I like it a lot with the right person AND when the feeling/timing is right. With the wrong person or when there is a lot of tension in the relationship, my feelings range from not liking it to not being able to stomach it.

I like to let things flow naturally, it isn't the length of time for me really, but he keeps feeling like he has to last a certain length of time or he isn't "good enough". I think he got the idea that it is a performance from something that he read.
Pfft, for me, if we both enjoy it, I wouldnt care if he lasted 3 minutes or 4 hours.

Have you tried to tell him some of this ..that some times quick it good? That variety is good?
One thing that has been suggested is that if you want to change your spouses sexual behavior ... praise the behavior you want to increase.
Like have you ever told him that you'd love to just have a quicky? (at the moment that you want one?)

Ok, my poll implies that it's sex with the right person.
I doubt that any person enjoys sex with 'the wrong person'. I don't think that men do either.
Re: women ... do you like/love sex or dislike/hate sex?
At the moment I am chasing my hubby around the house constantly. It may be due to peri-menopause (I think I am turning into a bloke, I have started cursing as well). Hubby has been away now for 6 days, I know it will be good when he is back tomorrow, but I feel no need to take care of myself while he is away. Therefore I conclude that it is my hubby making me horny.
Part of that also is a big change in the attitudes of both of us towards each other, we are really making an effort to communicate well, understand each other & not push each other's buttons. It is making a difference to every part of our marriage.

What I am talking about isn't just 'having quickies' per say, I am saying I would like a relax and go where sex takes you. I would also like to practice Tantra.
Yes, I have talked to him about this several times.

Re: women ... do you like/love sex or dislike/hate sex?
I dont really like it but I wouldn't say I'd rather not have it at all. Because when I have sex with my husband there's this emotional connection happening, so I can say I'd like to have it just once in a week or in two weeks. Not too often- that would be nice.
Re: women ... do you like/love sex or dislike/hate sex?
I love sex and would have it every day if H allows. I asked two close friends last night and one said more than once a week is generous, and the other siad her average was 2-3 times a month. Sad thing was they saw nothing in that and I felt guilty as I was very similar to them in their thinking but since H's EA and our R, I just can't get enough of him. (sigh). How the tables turn.

I think that for a lot of people life's responsibilities start to take precedence and sex get put on the back burner. It’s sad because relationships suffer for it.
