Current: 3-4 times/month, 2 times in a week has happened twice.
Ideal: 2-3/week but this is a tricky one. With the kind of sex we have now I guess once a week is ok. But if W would be giving bj:s and be more active in bed I probably would like sex every others day.
About the O:s, w have never had orgasm from Piv. But get it every time she wants from manual stimulation by me. (Once from oral but she want oral very rarely.)
Worst: nothing for like 6 months then 3-4 times during a year prior mmsl. This was a combination of low attraction and w dealing with a past of sexual abuse.
For now I can live with once a week but if it got less for a longer time I would have to escalate the map to phase 4. Im in a position were I feel like just having established a regular sexlife as the norm was a win. It was actually my map-goal. Im in the process of defining a new map and improve further so well see where this goes.

At first, I didn't want to post here because I'm ashamed of my current situation, and my failure to achieve meaningful change. Now, I see it as a marker from which to improve.
Current: 1-2 times per week (every 4.5 days) desired; 2-3 times per week worst- 1 time per week.
Over the the past several years, I've grown the actual from ever 5days to every 4.5 days, talk about a glacial pace. Faster, though, is the decline in my interest. I went from desiring ever day to 2-3 times per week.
Ive also gone from a 25% initiation success rate to not a single successful initiation in the past year. Like a number of other guys here, I still desire sex, just not with her. I lose attraction with every rejection, but even when she initiates, my attempts at variety are met with hard NOs, so I lost interest and attraction there, as well.
Oddly, she'll O about 30% of the time from PIV, and will occasionally ask for oral or manual. I don't volunteer oral or manual since she shows reticence at reciprocating.
current: 1x/week desired: every day or every other day only two months of sexual history
Hubby told me men aren't designed to have sex more than every 3 days. ??? I get super antsy after 3-4 days and basically beg when it gets close to the week mark. ugh I hate myself for writing that.
current: About 1x every 2 months (6x/year) preferred: 1-3x a week tolerate/minimum: 2 weeks or so
Interestingly, during a relaxed conversation sometime last year my wife cheerfully said that she could ideally imagine us having sex 1-2x a week. This isn't working out in practice yet, so it seems there is still quite a bit of "MAP work" to be done. And she has been working her butt off for a long long time and is only very slowly starting to relax. When 2 months or more without sex go by I find it pretty tough to be OI about it though. ----------
Read
a sample of another book "The sex starved marriage" which someone
mentioned. That really hit home to me on a few areas. Need to get a copy
for my wife.
@Buckbypj -is this an ironic comment ;-)?? Would your wife actually read that book if you gave it to her? Mine would consider that to be "putting her under pressure".

Sheesh when I was 17 I was "designed" to have sex 8 times a day. I could and did achieve that! A man in his 30s is certainly good for "every day" or even more than once a day if he's in good health.
And... all across America, men wish they were married to a wife like you...
Last month (May), we had sex 3x for the first time in a looonnnggg time. So far this month...zero. I'm 0 fer ...idk...10? And may have passed up on the one time I could have successfully pushed it.
1) 1-2 month
2) 2-3 week
3) 1 -2 month (since that's what its been) But I don't like it.
Also want to say I TOO am finding myself less attracted as I MAP and receive more no's. In my MAP thread, I already said I struggle with desiring her anyway as she has gained about 50 pounds (on a very slender frame) and now has an ugly double chin and shaped like an apple (still has skinny, but nice, legs) which I don't find very attractive. Makes OI easier to pull off I guess.

Current: 3 to 5 times per week (this includes BJ/HJ)
Ideal: Everyother day on average (sometimes more than once per day would be nice)
Worst: 2 to 3 times per month led me to this site. I wouldn't deal with that again unless it was a medical reason.

There is no need to feel shame on here. We have all been there.

It's been 3 times this month and were are only a week in.
I am aiming for 8 times this month. It seems doable. That would put us into my ideal bracket.
I would be happy to just chill at that rate and focus on quality (though quality is at an all time high at the moment, but it could be better).
2) 5-7 per week
3) 4 per week

2/3 times per week
2/3 times per week
Well, we made it to 8 times.
The quality was pretty good most of the time and mind blowing once.
