This would keep this late-30s woman happy; your mileage may vary.

1. Healthy/normal: Two to four times a week; shared initiation; enthusiastic participation; at least one "session" as opposed to all quickies

2. Bare minimum: Once a week

3. Sex-starved: Anything less than once a week; Sexless: Anything less than once a month.


Agree with everyone who says there is no correct "normal", and riding the stats will only carry you so far.

OTOH, if you're trying to negotiate with someone who maintains the position that "no women/men really want it that much, you want the impossible" .... insight of this nature can be helpful, for your own peace of mind if nothing else.
