Who initiates sex in your marriage?

Who initiates, you or your spouse? Is it always the same person, usually the same person, or it varies?

Whichever the case, are you satisfied with the way the initiation of sex works in your marriage?

If it's not obvious by your answer, please state if you are male or female.

Update:

Batty: I do the initiating almost every time. However, since my wife is nearly always receptive, I am not a bit dissatisfied with this arrangement.

    Usually it's my wife's sister.

    I do. If I don't initiate it, we don't do it. We haven't had sex in over a month. Maybe 2 months. You would think he would get the hint that I'm angry.

    Sometimes I can tell he wants it, but he won't reach over and grab me. He's trying to give me stupid little hints in the form of sighs and wiggles and I'm pretending that I don't catch on. Hey, we've been married for 8 years and we were together for 8 years before that. If he doesn't know how to get sex when he wants it, it's his problem.

    We're not married, but I'll chime in anyhow. It varies. Sometimes it's him, sometimes it's me and sometimes it's mutual. Neither of us is a bit shy about letting the other know what we want, and neither of us turns the other down. I'm quite pleased with how the initiation of sex works for us. It's a great feeling to know I'm wanted, and to be able to express the same to him. I don't think I would be satisfied if one of us initiated most of the time.

    I am a female, and if varies from time to time who initiates it, but if I had to choose, I'd be me who initiates more often. Yes I am satisfied with the initiation process, because regardless who initiated it, neither of us tell each other no, or make stupid excuses for not being in the mood as some couples do. And I have come to discover that my husband lets me initiate more because he finds it hotter, and I am more than willing to make him happy.

    Generally I'm the one who initiates sex. My husband doesn't turn it down and once things get going it's always fun but it gets old being the one who almost always starts it.

    9 times out of 10 it's me.

    It used to be him, and now it's me....though there was never a time where either one of us was the ONLY one, just the one most likely to.

    I used to be a bit shy....then I hit 31 and out came this wild raging sexual insatiable beast!

    Depends on the situation.. if he comes home horny then he initiates.. but I do a lot of the time.
