Over time this dynamic shifts and things should begin to resemble "normal," but what is normal? One study says Americans on average have sex approximately 2.3 times per week, or 118 times a year.  Another study states that the percentage of men who think about sex everyday is 70%, with women coming in at 34%.  No information was available on how often Tiger Woods thinks about sex, but I'm guessing it's more than average.

What is the happy number, the one where both partners are equally satisfied and the equity of effort is fair?  Depends who you ask. I know one couple who came up with an "every other day" rule of thumb, while others opt for weekends only.  However, I have also heard of people who haven't had sex in six months.  Wow, talk about dissatisfaction! 

Food for thought:  What's something your partner could do to make you feel more amorous?
