Actually, I should have said what goes first - assuming most relationships start of with a healthy amount of both!

I'm not married so can't offer first hand experience.I'd be interested to hear the opinions of those who have started to go to the gym and put on some muscle.I remember reading somewhere this helped, not only from increased attraction but also from increased attraction from other women.Some sort of jealousy would set in leading to more sex.
Nope. I travel for work all the time. Often with women. Said women are working in a male dominated profession and as such are considered, by my wife, to be absolute sluts who throw themselves at me at every opportunity. hehe

Has that got her jelous? Dead right! Did it get me more/ better sex, not a prayer.

Right hand and then left hand does not count. This probably should have been clarified early in the thread, to be fair.

I'd further add that, incase it wasn't clear, encounters where you're a paying customer and it's not your wife don't count either.

My wife is confident that even a slut wouldn't set the bar so low as to throw herself at me. Regrettably, she is right.

Your wife must have a pretty low opinion of her self. After all, she is with you I presume.

Are you serious? i.e. she said and means that? I've never asked my other half but I imagine she sees me highly (if annoying little habits).
I really think Twig is joking.

Cambridge University did a study of this once, way back in 1957, and the conclusion they reached was you multiply the number of kids you have, by their total ages, then divide by two if they are all girls, then finally multiply this figure by 3.142, this should give you, (within a day or so) the average time between engaging in naughty business.

Apparently, this figure referred to under forties only. If you are over forty, add an extra week for every ten years over this you are.
Have you got a source for this?

We have 3 kids aged 1, 6 & 8. According to the model above we should be doing it 2.5 times a year. I reckon we probably manage twice a week.

The model also proposes that the older your kids get the less time you have to get down to it. This is nonsense - smaller children are far more time consuming, tiring and wake in the night far more than older kids. They also tend to spend more time in the parental bed.

Also why does having all girls double the amount of sex you would have? I have a girl - she is clingy and needy and, well girl-like. My lads are a piece of piss to parent in comparison.

Did you just make this up? scratchchin

Back in the early days I remember a session with the now ex when I noticed my eldest, then a few months old, wide awake and looking at me, from her nearby crib, with great puzzlement biggrin

She's 15 now. I don't think she remembers. I hope biggrin
Some kids almost watched me and a girlfriend having sex once , about 30 of them.

We were parked in a nice secluded farm gateway in the middle of nowhere about 1am when she said, stop I can hear something , I stopped , couldn't hear anything so I carried on, next thing 30 cub scouts on a night march walk right past the car peering in the steamed up windows and banging on the roof as I was pulling my jeans back on.

And that was the end of that frown

Back in our courting days, Mrs Smiley and myself had found a secluded spot to park up for a post pub canoodle. In this instance it was in the drive of an old abandoned farmhouse which with the spread of the town was now on the edge of a housing estate. She also mentioned she could hear noises, I was a bit "distracted at the time and didnt take much (any) notice. It wasnt until I fired up my post canoodle ciggy that I noticed the flames licking out of the building on one side and a number of fire engines/police cars and spectators the other. Having to drive slowly over the fire hoses and avoiding the looks from the slowly parting (and remarkably large crowd) as we left the scene will stay with me for a long time cry

We picked the car park behind a bank. Post canoodle we noticed the CCTV camera, which had been pointing at the back door, had rotated and was looking right at the windscreen. Mrs K, good sport that she was, lifted her T-shirt to 'hide her face' as we left.

I had exactly the opposite experience with a poor couple many years ago. I lived on the edge of our suburb. 100 yards past my home my street meet to a gravel cross road, with bushland on the other side. There were a number of little tracks into the bush, & it was a bit of a lovers lane.

When I was racing the Brabham I often had late night sessions working on it. To avoid becoming tired & making mistakes, I would have a coffee break about 10.30 PM, then take my Great Dane for a walk along that gravel road, before going back to mechanising.

One night quite warm Saturday night there was a Ford Zephyr parked just off the road pointing away from us. The dog was roaming free & became interested in the car as we approached. Being quite big he had no trouble putting his head inside the open drivers window.

Suddenly 2 mostly or completely naked bodies appeared above the window level, accompanied by some quite loud cursing, mostly about intercourse, hell & the all mighty.

Very quickly all being considered the car started & disappeared down the road in a cloud of dust & gravel.

I did hope the dog & I had not ruined a lovely relationship, or caused anyone an injury, but I did find it rather funny, & often had a grin to myself about it, on future late night walks with my dog.
