Mysterio Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 For those of you that are coupled. How much physical affection do you give/get on a weekly basis. Sex/Kissing/Hugs. Can you go a long time without out it. Is it too much at times as well. How do you keep the fire burning with your SO. I am single. My ex and I were affectionate. I do find if I don't get it in a relationship. I don't feel close. I am not just talking about sex. If I break it down. When I get into another relationship. I would want kisses everyday. Hugs as well. Sex 2/3 times a week. I don't think that having it 7 days is really where its at. I hear that. I feel like the couple will break up. Everyone that I know that has to have that grouping I need you 24/7 always burns up. Link to post Share on other sites
RecentChange Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 My husband and I (been together 15 years) kiss and hug every day. Kiss every morning. Cuddle every evening. And we have sex 3-4 times a week on average. Some couples are happy to have sex every day and that works for them. This works for us. Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle ma Belle Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I don't think you can quantify how many kisses or hugs or sex is best for any couple. It's very much subjective and very personal. What works for one couple or individual may not work for another. That's why finding someone compatible is so important. I'm Italian so being affectionate is in my DNA big time. I love giving affection and receiving it and need to be partnered up with someone who feels the same. It's actually a deal breaker for me. I married someone who wasn't affectionate nor felt it was as important to a relationship as I did and it was HELL! Never ever to be repeated again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rockdad Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Wife and I have been together 19 yrs. We also work together so were together nearly 24/7. We hug and kiss every morning as I head out to the office. I get home a bit before her. Where ever I am in the house she will find me and we hug and kiss again. That kiss when she gets home means to us no matter how rough it was customer or employee wise now were at our happy home and work is over. Sex has tapered down the past several years from a couple times a day to once a day. We keep the passion by being mindful not taking one another for granite. Being caring and kind. We both carry the idea each day of what can I do to make her/his life better and more enjoyable today. It makes marriage life so much fun. Marriage isn't hard work for either one of us. Rather it's a safe place for each of us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 For those of you that are coupled. How much physical affection do you give/get on a weekly basis. Sex/Kissing/Hugs. I'm in my 60's, we have sex 1-2x a week. We are affectionate out of habit, always been that way. We have an 18-yr old still at home, I figure if we can't get him to say "eeeeewww!" at least once a week, not doing something right ... Mr. Lucky 2 Link to post Share on other sites
muchlovetogive Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 My ex of 10 years and I were extremely affectionate. I acted silly and mushy with him constantly, asking for kisses, cuddling in bed. My current partner is less so. I love to give and receive hugs and kisses, but I feel like I am smothering him. I want more than I get, and am not sure if I will be happy with this in the long term. He does holds me when we go to bed every night. But the voluntary hugs and kisses to me are at bare minimum.

xenawarriorprincess Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Married 10 years this month, together 14 years total. Hug/Kiss multiple times a day. Sexual intimacy 3-5 times a week, sometimes more, rarely less unless 1 of us has a severe flu or something. Keeping the spark alive…..well, the spark goes and comes over the years, but it doesn’t keep us from making an effort to show affection. That’s the key, making an effort. Sometimes the passion isn’t there at first, but after things get going, the fire gets awakened Link to post Share on other sites
NTV Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I want physical affection as much as I can get it. Unless I'm going poop... I'd like to be left alone while I do that. If you tried to quantify what I want it would never be enough. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
olivetree Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I want physical affection as much as I can get it. If you tried to quantify what I want it would never be enough. I am the same way. I love cuddling/kissing/touching my bf allllll the time. He feels the same so it works great. That keeps the fire alive for us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
