I want to know... Awkward subject!?

I personally believe in Platonic love.... :p I love hugging my boyfriend, snuggling up to him, maybe a cute kiss on the cheek but that's really where I draw the line.

There is no set amount. But its what each person feels they need. AND more important is making sure your spouse is having their needs met! So if one feels they need sex 2-3 x a week and another says 2-3 x a month there will be major problems.

Its a matter of compromising and putting your partner's needs above your own! Has nothing to do with kids - people have sex when they have kids. Its a matter of respect - you knock on the door before you enter.

You are only 16 but believe me, you have NO idea how much you would want. If you only want sex 1-2 x a month, then you better be darn sure your future partner knows you don't like sex very much or your relationship will be in trouble.

Sex is a fun part of an emotionally and physically stable relationship. It's important to people. Some like it more than others. Everyone has their own speed and as long as you match with your partner, once a month will work just fine.

I am also quite young, but many of my friends are already marriage or in serious relationships. I am in a very serious relationship, and I agree with you. My partner and I have sex maybe once or twice a week, sometimes less. Some couples do have sex more often, but I think that it depends on that particular couple, not what is "normal" or what isn't. One of my friends is married with a baby, and she doesn't have sex nearly as often as she used to, but they still have sex if they are both "in the mood". In general it depends on the couple, and you can't just put a number on it. If you are in a relationship want to have sex that often, and you are able to, then there is nothing wrong with that. But there is no rule that you have to have sex a certain number of times for your relationship to be "healthy". I hope this helps.

Sex becomes less gross when you do it with someone you love. Sex becomes awesome when you do it in a marriage because you and your partner really get to explore and find out what works for both of you.

As far as what is "normal" for the amount of sex you have, everyone is different. Some couples are perfectly happy doing it once a month and for others it needs to be everyday. In a healthy relationship, you will talk with your partner and both of you will figure out what is "normal".

As far as kids walking in, so what? Mom and Dad have sex. That is how you were made. Mom and Dad still enjoy each other physically. That is freaking AWESOME!!!

"Seriously?! And what if you already have kids?" -- So what if a couple has kids? It was sex that created the kids. Having kids has nothing to do with how often a couple should have sex. It doesn't involve the kids (not the ones that already exist).

" Sometimes I feel that people put sex before their children, and that just irks me!" -- If a parent neglects a child, to go out and get laid, THAT is a problem. If parents who have kids, also have sex, it's not their kid's business. The kids should be happy the parents have a good enough relationship to still desire intimacy.

" And wouldn't you hate it if they walked in you and your partner getting it on? Would you even care that they would be scarred for life?" -- If they were rude enough to open a closed door without knocking and being invited in, then they chose to risk seeing something they may not want to see. Besides, seeing their parents having sex is hardly "life scarring" (way to be over dramatic). True, it's not something most kids (even adult ones) want to see their parents doing, but it's something that married people do and anyone who doesn't understand that, needs a reality check.

If you don't want to see your parents having sex, stop entering rooms where it could be happening, without announcing yourself and being invited in. I never walked in on my parents. When their door was closed, I knocked and waited for a reply. They also weren't the type to be doing it in other areas of the house, when it was possible any of us kids might come across them.

I agree with patman i didnt start having good sex until i got outta high school. I use to look at sex like it was a burden but then i met my husband who really pay d attention to my body's cues and the sex is amazing we have it almost everyday. We have a son and he no doubt knows we have sex but sex is a part of life should he walk in on us i will tell him there is nothing wrong with what he saw, thats what you do when you grow up and are in love. I believe in honesty with your children.

Then you need to find a partner that is also happy with having sex once or twice a month. /anything else and the marriage could easily fail

You need to have sex as much as possible! A couple of times a week is not enough for most men, and they will be frustrated.

You are way to young to understand; you say your age is 16, your comments suggest you are more like 10
