I haven't lived with an SO yet...I've gotten to the point of spending a LOT of time with them, but not living together. No idea from that perspective.
But yeah..getting laid is more frequent or easier in a LTR.
I do think a consistent FWB is better sex...but then again I think I have relationship issues. I don't think it's that it is 'novel', but more like...no relationship pressures, just straight up fun sex? And you can always walk away if you don't like it. In a LTR, you are kind of stuck
.
My last relationship he would just plug away at it for like two hours and he didn't like to switch it up. I didn't look forward to sex. TMI, I know, but we even talked about how we 'liked it' ..we both told each other we liked it on the rough side ...and then he would never do that
. And believe me I tried.
I don't like straight up one night stands. I don't do that anymore. It's awkward to me and I feel pretty crappy when I think about those times I've done that. I actually had that opportunity a few weeks ago and I turned it down (despite me being in a dry spell
).
I know everyone's different, and there are going to be different opinions but... how often do you have sex?! (How's that for even more TMI?)
Tim and I talk about this a lot. He thinks we don't ever have enough sex (uh, he's a guy?). I tell him that I'm pretty sure he gets more action in relation to how often we see each other, than many others? But maybe I'm wrong...
Not living together, maybe twice a week? It depends on how often we see each other (and under what circumstances, and our living situations) but usually like 2-3 out of 4 or 5 times a week of seeing each other.
