Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
I had a horrible sex life until I met Donald.
Prior to him, I lost my virginity at 18, which wasn't only painful but the act itself didn't last more than thirty seconds. I broke up with my then boyfriend mere days later and I kicked myself for sleeping with him.
It was eight months later before I dated again, and I was nineteen before I had sex once more. As before, it hurt, and it didn't last long. This boyfriend stuck around a little longer though, and we had sex a grand total of four more times in five weeks before he went away to college. The fact we didn't have it more made me seriously question my ability to turn him on and wether or not I was sexy.
I never once achieved orgasm, it hurt each time, and I honestly began to believe that I was one of those women who just didn't like sex. I didn't feel like I was a sensual woman because the men in my life never treated me as such. I wasn't in a good place.
Then I met Donald. He was experienced, he was hot, he cherished me, he was hot, he loved sex, he was hot, he helped me to love sex, he was hot, he helped me to feel sexy about myself, and did I mention that he was so damn hot???
We dated for eight months before he asked me to move in with him. After dropping a bombshell on my mother that I wasn't a virgin (I mean seriously how clueless can you be), Donald and I moved in together and stayed that way for three years before tying the knot and getting married at twenty four.
Now, I've recently celebrated my four year anniversary. That got me thinking; which sex life for a couple is better - committed relationship or married? Since my sample size of relationship versus married is roughly the same - four years - I thought I'd look back and compare to see which one is superior.
There will be four categories . Scoring will be 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, so the final score will be closest to twenty.
SEXUAL QUALITY
Relationship - As mentioned previously I was a total newbie to sex. Five times - all missionary - none lasting more than three minutes. I had a LOT to learn but I had an amazing teacher in Donald. The sex really improved over time but we had a rocky start. I knew basic stuff - missionary, cowgirl, that sort of thing. Clueless about the rest. Honestly thought doggie style was an anal position. I wasn't just overwhelmed when he showed me a sex position book I was scared lol.Thankfully Donald loved ME and not just my body to stick around while I learned how to please both of us with it.
SCORE - 3
Married - I wish I could score this over a 5 because the quality of our sex is outstanding. The sex in our relationship phase was a feeling out process - what works, what doesn't work. With marriage we know each other, we know our bodies, and we know how to have mind blowing sex that causes us to look on each other in awe. Many say that familiarity is a downside to the bedroom but that's not true in my opinion. Being familiar with each other is a definite plus. Many times during lovemaking I don't even have to talk (although I do a lot, I'm quite verbal in bed); my moans, my squeals, my breathing, the way my body shifts at certain times, all tell him what he's doing right or wrong, and along with his own body language that I've grown accustomed to, work towards us achieving orgasms for both of us that rewrite the record books.
SCORE - 5
SEXUAL QUANTITY
Relationship - this is going to be tough to beat. During our relationship, to quote Donald, we "fucked each other's brains out". I'm not going to mislead you and say something unrealistic like we had sex everyday, but to say it was five days a week , multiple times a day, is a very fair statement. Especially after we moved in together, we really hit a stride of sex a lot. We didn't own a television so our only entertainment was each other. Typical days were wake up, sex, gym, school, come home, lunch and/or sex, work, dinner and/or sex, and finally sex then sleep. There were days, many days in fact, where we only got out of bed to fix a bite or use the bathroom. We've yet to do that married sad to say.
SCORE - 5
Married - I don't want to be the cliche wife who puts out during the dating period only to shut her legs once she gets the ring, but honestly the sex has decreased since marriage. That five days a week average? More like one or two days a week now. Both of us were in school during the relationship but found careers during marriage, which the intrusion on our free time along with added stress didn't help matters. When we do have sex it's out of this world, but we don't have it anywhere near as much as we want. We both openly talk about wanting it more but are at a loss about what to do about it. There's nothing more frustrating than sleeping in the same bed with the person you desire most yet aren't able to have them as much as you want.
SCORE - 2
SEXUAL ATTRACTION/APPEARANCE
Relationship - I'm scoring this a 4 and I'll tell you why. I know Donald was crazy attracted to me, but the constant having to slow down and explain how and what and where during sex just had to drain on him even a little. Not once did he mention it but I have to think somewhere inside him Donald had to question if this girl was worth it. This could be my own insecurities of the past but it's how I see it.
As for appearance I was college student and waitress, so I routinely wore jeans and shorts. Donald is a leg man so he enjoyed how the jeans hugged me and how shorts showed off my stems. That kept him riled up a lot!
SCORE - 4
Married - This is difficult to score. I think my husband is MORE sexually attracted to me now than ever before but as I mentioned we are ships passing in the night.
Appearance wise he's absolutely in love with! I work in an office now so I'm all heels, skirts, dresses, etc. The whole business woman thing. I had no idea he fancied that look but ever since I started dressing that way - when we do have sex - it's generally semi naked to begin with, or with some article of my work attire on (usually the heels; he is sooooo into the heels. Seriously I think I could wear heels and a trash bag and he'd be turned on). I'm convinced if I had dressed this way during our relationship phase I never would have left our apartment, because he would never stop fucking me. This boy has a serious secretary fetish! Not that I'm complaining mind you; I haven't told him but I find it sorta sexy myself lol.
SCORE - 5
SEXUAL CREATIVITY
Relationship - everything was new to me during this time frame, but was old hat to him. His focus was really getting me comfortable with ME, then expanding to new positions. Donald did do a fish bowl with sexual positions in it, and we would just pull one out by random chance. I remember how nervous I was when wheelbarrow was chosen. But I ended up with such a satisfying orgasm that we go back to that position still to this day.
But beyond trying new positions , we weren't creative, we just went at it like animals in heat!
SCORE - 3
Married - since we've been married the creative juices have flowed. I've introduced role play into our relationship, which we do about once a month or every other month. It's a take off of Donald's fish bowl idea, with a list of role plays in a bowl and we choose at random. I LOVE role play and Donald is starting to really get into it as well (after our last two - the inappropriate school teacher and trip to the sexy doctor - based on his reaction I'd say he likes it VERY much).
I've also noticed how much he like my new dressing habits so I send him many risqué pics of me from work. Crossing my legs with my skirt a little too open, or a look down my neckline, even sometimes lifting my blouse completely and showing the girls. When I do this he attacks me as soon as he gets home. (I know what you are thinking I should do it everyday and we would have sex more , but for starters I'm too busy to take pics of myself too often at work , and for another he is in meetings a lot and I don't want to send when he is in company with a room full of strangers).
SCORE - 4
FINAL TALLY
Relationship = 15
Married = 16
Married life isn't easy, and as I mentioned has its flaws, but it is superior to relationship sex in this person's life. Thanks for reading!
What Girls & Guys Said
15 33So long as there is a connection. I. e. good friends, someone you click with. Or married.
Don't use a nice guy for validation and sleep with a dick (literally). But sleep when you feel something. And yes including a nice guy. HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU AFTERWARD SINCE HE'S NICE. It's perverse logic to think oh just fuck the guy who doesn't care about me anyway since he won't care anyway, and just keep the nice guy around to make me feel good.
Can u help me on mine? www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q2055890-is-this-normal-for-a-flirty-friendship-between-a-guy-woman
For me, sadly it was much much better before marriage.
The sex life in marriage goes down the shitter.
1. Because many women marry out of convenience of being with someone and/or security rather than about passion and love. Studies have shown that the guy women had as boyfriend in their early 20's and who they've had ONS/flings with they had more physical animalistic attraction for than the man they picked ot be their husband.
2. With the start of marriage women kinda think their partner is "safe" for them and decrease the amount of nurturing they do for their relationship.
3. Women use sex to keep men on a hook. Sex is women's investment in relationship. When women get married they no longer feel the need to put out as much because they have you by the balls so to speak. Divorce rape will keep you teetered and less likely to leave them so they no longer have to try.
4. Both men and women let themselves go when they get into relationships. This tends to progress even worse in marriage causing the physical attraction you had for the person to go down. Lower physical attraction means lower desire to have sex.
5. People eventually get tired of fucking the same body over and over.
Prostitute sex
you have a lot of sex in general it's more like 1 or 2 per month
Thanks for reading! Yknow that's interesting-I have a friend who has been married for ten years and told me she only has sex once or twice a month, not once or twice a week. I'm surprised to hear that, but understand how busy and stressful life is. I guess when you gauge it against an average we would be higher up on the scale, but not where we want to be. My fault, I should have communicated that better in the myTake.
Yes plus in general they have other things to think, like the kids (if they have) or do groceries, clean the house, the career, etc...
This one seemed biased. You didn't gather data from other couples or individuals in when they had sexual relationships with people during the dating phase and during their marriage. You had two terrible partners before you found one good one. You found the good one, had good sex before the marriage and then good sex after it. It makes no sense.
Plus, sex can still be terrible after marriage. Tying the knot doesn't mean anything more than saying you are legally with this person. A relationship is still a relationship after marriage.
My boyfriend had crappy relationships with other women and never reach climax with any of them until he met me. And when I got with him, he was my first boyfriend and first sexual encounter ever and we have amazing sex. He's not as sexual as me, but we find ways to work around it.
Your mytake is very biased. You should of collected data from other people and compare and contrast the sex lives during the data phase and during marriage.
I think that's why it's called a myTake because it's my opinion, but I could be wrong. 😊 But thanks for taking the time to read it.
I understand, but your mytake would of been more interesting if you did your own research on it, and compared and contrast the data to your sex life; coming down to some conclusion you feel it is to having and maintaining a sex life overall or having to study the reasonings for a bad and good sex life between both life styles.
