Kettricken, I'm already discounting for the "50 Pound Steak" effect by supposing that I'd be happy with an average of once a day. In my mind, I imagine I'd want sex several times a day. The thing is, I can be very accomodating, as I was early in my marriage, in that I told myself that I shouldn't really want sex as much as I really did. I had pretty strong feelings about not being that kind of pushy obnoxious guy pawing his girlfriend all the time. I realize in retrospect that I was suppressing my desires.
Kettricken, you kind of remind me of my wife, who said similar things:
"It's not normal to want sex that much" "You shouldn't need sex that much" "It's normal to have sex once a week, not every day" "Again? We just had sex yesterday!" "Again? We just had sex two days ago!"
A few times I did convince my wife to have sex twice in an evening. But a request for thirds has always been met with a laugh and, "No, I'm done!" Not that I really needed it, but I'm good for more if only she wanted it.
I survive just fine skipping a day, or even two (all sex, partnered or not), but by the 2nd or 3rd day, the erotic buildup is such that the second orgasm is often even more powerful than the first one, partnered or not.
So, by your theory, if I had actual partnered sex one day, I shouldn't want it the next day, let alone 2 or 3 times in the same day?
Perhaps I've never had sex every day for a long enough period of time to get to that "50 Pound Steak" point? I'd sure be a happy camper if my wife wanted to test your theory and see how many days of straight sex it would take before I said "enough!"
Remember those relationship sex publicity things they had several times the last few years? There was the couple in Florida who made a public thing about having sex every day for a month, and wasn't there another couple who wrote a book about having sex every day for a year? Man, I wish I was part of that experiment! I had my wife watch those reports with me, but she just thought it was ridiculous. Like who has time for that!? Oh well.
