... I'm merely looking for lots of votes and numbers to crunch as to the norm in regards to this subject.

What do you consider a healthy amount of time, let's say on average, if you see your S.O. every day, to go without showing affection or having sex? Say you're together for multiple hours every day, and sleep together about every other day, and both have TIME to.

Replace making out with sex, relative to age.
 
We need a poll option for "I'm not 16 years old and I don't really care about making out anymore"

Replace making out with sex in that case.

Whatever is relative to your age.
 
as often as possible in as front of as many people as possible. i.e. while waiting in line at a restaurant/movie theater/drive-thru/bank, or during class, or anywhere else.
 
Um, "Showing affection" includes a LOT more than just making out and having sex. Honestly, I think a healthy amount of times tobe having sex is anywhere between once a week and 3 times a day. But you don't do that in public. Showing affection also includes plenty of other stuff that you can do in public, like kissing (not neccesarily making out), hugging, etc...

I meant to the effect of making out.

This is completely off the topic of PDA.

 
In a relationship, pretty much all the time you are together, outside a relationship, pretty much all the time until you get sore.
 
It should be obvious, but I think any guy who's had a girlfriend has gotten turned down in regards to sex ... our sex drive is how many times more strong than a woman's due to the amount of testosterone in our system?

I'm just trying to see how long should still be considered acceptable that a typical guy should go without...

I saw something yesterday here on the forums where Men's Fitness did a study and if you have sex every day it increases your life by something like 12 years.

I don't see what's so stupid about this subject. 🙂

Edit: And to compare me to Skywalker, guys, that's just fvcking low... 😛

It's stupid because there is no magic number. It all depends on the guy, the girl he's with and how much they each want sex.

There's no definitive answer and if you think there is then you are stupid as well. 🙂

Obviously.

I said I'm looking for the average.

Maybe that's why I'm asking each guy to vote what they think from their past/present relationships, so I can create a mean.


 
Coming to ATOT and asking about sex, making out, averages are all going to be skewed. You cannot get a definitive average. Poor sample population.
 
There is no average either! Every situation is different. You can't just find out what the average is and then train yourself to not want sex that often.

This is very true. 😛
 
I wouldn't presume to know how healthy any ratio of sex would be, but during the first month of my last two relationships its been roughly 3 times a day when we see eachother which is probably 3-4 days a week. Once things settle in though and the relationship isnt new anymore those numbers tend to drop significantly. With my ex it was down to once a month and that didn't feel healthy 🙁
I'm down to twice a day with my current so I see it all slowing down.
 
umm 'showing affection' and 'having sex' are very different. i have been w/my gf about a year and a half now, and i 'show her affection' everytime I see her. I usually see her every day. and i always give her a kiss when we first see eachother, and i usually am holding her in my arms if we are watching a movie, or if we are out i have her hand in mind or my arm around her. and i do the PDA thing as well, but nothing that is disturbing for others to see.

as far as sex, yes it obviously declines as the times go on. however i would say i have sex with my gf about 3-5 times a week, just depending on different things. if i go more than 3 days without it, i am fiending. but by then, so is she so that makes for great sex 🙂

edit: and i didnt vote because your options are for both 'showing affection' and 'having sex' which is alot different ...
