It can be difficult to know if your bedroom behaviour is normal, especially as Brits are known for having a stiff upper lip.
So are you bonking as often as others?
A woman recently told Mumsnet that her husband was peeved about the amount of sex they were having.
While some told the mum-of-three there was nothing wrong with her sex life, others confessed they get jiggy a lot more regularly.
The woman took to Mumsnet to ask for help.
She wrote: “I’m sorry to bring up the age old question but I’m under a lot of pressure to ‘put out’ and I just don’t feel like it!
“I have three kids and I’m tired. Does this make me selfish?
“I know I should want to but all I really want is a good night sleep.
“My husband gets so stroppy about it and suggests I see a doctor!
“I can’t be the only one and I refuse to believe I need medical assistance.
“Causing such an atmosphere – does anyone else have this issue? Sorry if this is too personal.”
Following the woman’s plea for advice, many mums divulged information about their own sex lives.
Dozens of Mumsnetters admitted they have to make the effort to get down and dirty.
One wrote: “I hear where you’re coming from I could easily give up sex forever I think but I have a husband like yours.
“He genuinely sees it as a time for us to feel close rather than him getting his end away so I do think its important to make the effort sometimes even if you don’t feel like it at first.
“Often once you start you get into it.
“I really do have to make the effort though so I do get what you mean. I feel shattered!”
Another parent said they get off “about once every three weeks”.
They added: “Like you I have young children and just want to be left to have a few moments of peace / sleep at the end of the day!”
A third agreed, remarking: “Every three weeks or so, sometimes longer.
“Pestering is a huge turn off. My husband is also knackered, so we need our sleep.
“Why isn’t he more tired? Are you doing everything and he is not pulling his weight?”
While other responders admitted to having sex regularly, they told the Mumsnetter that her husband shouldn’t be putting pressure on her.
One commenter remarked: “I love sex and see it as more important than my husband does within a relationship.
“You should never feel pressured though.”
A second added: “It’s not attractive of your other half to put pressure on, but equally I can understand him.
“I get a cob on if i’m denied it more than twice on the bounce.”
