Men please anwser: how often should he be wanting sex?

I am 36 and my husband is 44 and I was wondering how often he should be wanting sex at his age, a quicky which he doesn't really enjoy or making love which is his thing. We do have a 2 yr old so I guess you could say we are tired.

    See the source below for a medical explanation in full..I included the main page (2nd source) and information links to explore children subjects.

    Decreased libido is a reduction in sex drive.

    Sex drive (libido) varies greatly among men. Different men find different degrees of libido satisfactory. Libido may be decreased temporarily by conditions such as fatigue or anxiety. Libido also tends to gradually decrease as a man ages. Persistent low libido may cause a man and his sex partner distress.

    Occasionally, libido can be low throughout a man's life. Lifelong low libido can result from traumatic childhood sexual experiences or from learned suppression of sexual thoughts. Most often, however, low libido develops after years of normal sexual desire. Psychologic factors, such as depression, anxiety, and relationship problems, are often the cause. Some drugs (such as those used to treat high blood pressure, depression, or anxiety) and decreased levels of testosterone can also lower libido.

    A man with decreased libido thinks less about sex. He loses interest in sexual fantasy and masturbation, and also in sexual activity. Even sexual stimulation, by sights, words, or touch, may fail to provoke interest. The man often retains the capacity for sexual function. Some men continue to engage in sexual activity to satisfy their partner.

    A blood test can measure the level of testosterone in the blood. However, the diagnosis is usually based on the man's description of his symptoms.

    If the cause is psychologic, various psychologic therapies—including behavioral therapies, such as the sensate focus technique (see Sex Therapy: Sensate Focus Technique)—can help. If the testosterone level is low, testosterone can be given, usually as a patch or gel applied to the skin or as an injection. If a drug appears to be the cause, a doctor can often try treating the man with a different drug.

    well i'm 31 with a 3 year old and being tired has little affect on a man's sex drive. I work nights and a lot of overtime; if I work 3 straight 16 hour shifts I still want to do it. tired is an excuse for lack of fore play.

    If you were my wife, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands and lips off you body. We'd be doing it a few times every day.
