    To talk to some guys, it would seem that "playing twister" several times a day is a necessity. Or at least once a day. But I highly doubt that is anywhere close to reality. (Or is it?)

    How often do you and your SO play twister? (Sorry if this is entirely TMI - I'm just curious!)

    And for the record, my fiance had no idea what I meant when I asked if he wanted to play twister...he was like, "We don't own that game!" Haha.

    hahaha oh my. several times a day every day? i think i'd sprain something. the mister and i play twister usually about 4 times a week nowadays. it used to be every day, but we tend to be exhausted after a long day of work and would just rather snuggle and fall asleep sometimes. eeeeeeeep *runs and hides*

    Ps. I just asked Mr. Candy Corn if he wants to play Twister. His reaction:

     "Twister!? How would we play Twister? We don't have the board do we? Do WE!? *getting super excited*" 

    aww. I showed him the post on here and he just got so disappointed. Now I'm going to have to make a Target run tomorrow and buy us the real Twister! hehe

    S.E.X  How often do you...ehhh...play twister? :  wedding Icon Wink

    I have to admit... i have no freaken sex life...
    If we have sex 3 times a month... its a good month.

    I initiate the sex talk/actions... and he never feels like it.  :(

    flamingo, we went thru a period of about 5 months and zero sex. yes there was work and everything but as i was pretty new to the sex thing i thought it was me.  turns out it was just work, university, stress, life, 5am wakeups & long long days and huge work projects and it quickly became a habit not to have sex.   i asked myself "do i want this, or lack of for the next 20+ years of my life" and the answer was no so we both agreed to spend more time trying to enjoy eachother and making an effort. hopefully things get a bit sweeter for you

    We've lived with our parents for the past year...so, sometimes we can't play when we'd like to, or we can't play the way we'd like to.  We're dying for me to get a job (he can't b/c of immigration) so we can finally have our own place!!! He'd prob. say not enough, and I'd say the same. le sigh.

    I'm sorry Flamingo, that sounds rough! I hope you guys can figure it out. Twister is a huge part of our relationship, if things aren't working there it's likely we'll be a mess generally. Six years ago when we were first together we were at it 9-10 times a week. Now we're old and boring it's more like 4 times a week, maybe a bit less if it's a bad week, or a bit more if it's a good week. Yesterday was FH's birthday so he got most of his week's quota in one day :)

    Flamingo...that sounds about right for me. lol. We're lucky if we have sex (or play scrable as we refer to it at work) once a week...if that. Sometimes we just don't have the energy. I'm hoping once we atart our pre-wedding work out that will change, though.

    We were playing about about once a week. We're on a pre-wedding hiatus right now, though, and I'm hoping after the wedding it will pick up a bit. When we first started dating we used to play three times a day...sigh. Luckily even when it wasn't happening that often it didn't seem like an imbalance, i.e. I always wanted to and he never did or vice versa.

    sigh. once a week here, on average, maybe twice occasionally. before I moved in Mr. Joe and I had a long distance relationship so we were all over each other when we got to see each other, and I was kind of surprised that we don't have as much sex as I thought we would. Yeah, we've been living together for a year, things have been stressful, and one of us is generally tired (me in particular, who needs her sleep), but it's still a little disappointing, especially because we're so young (21 and 24) and we're already only at once a week (that's 4 times a month!). I know it generally just goes downhill... I thought me being unemployed might help a little since I at least wouldn't be tired, but I guess the stress was too much, idk. Now I don't have to be at work until 11:30am so again, hoping it will pick up a bit. 

    His sister is also home two nights a week and she used to share a room with Mr. Joe so a lot of her stuff is in here and she used to even sleep in here in the beginning, so those two nights are generally out auto... (though I'm not sure why because she usually doesn't come in anymore after they shut the Wii off for the night).

    When we lived together (currently in seperate cities) it was at least one a day, everyday. At least, and oddly mostly by my choice, not his.

     

    And this totally reminded me, I really want to buy Twister (the actual game).

    Well to be honest... here the deal

    6 years ago when we started dating we would be freaken bunnies and have sex all the time. 2 even 3 times a day. Guess my hormones were wack from being single 3 years and having never slept with a guy

    After 3 months of non-stop sex, it slowed down alot... (my fault)
    I wasnt feeling it... hormone wise. So Mr.Flamingo got used to the very little sex.
    Now, I stopped the pill and realized the pill was causing me to not want sex... side effect.
    Well now, Im a bunny in heat again (sorry for the metaphor) and now, hes not feeling it.

    I have to force him to have sex... WTF?
    But once we have it, then hes happy...

    It could be a weight issue too... hmmm

    i hear you Flamingo (metaphor!)..... not having sex was such a habit that to start having sex seemed like work and i always seemed to be the one initiating it!   lately he has initiated a few times so thats been really nice and of course, being a male ive had to praise him for that - kinda like training a puppy i guess :)

    My FI and I were a long distance couple too, so we were also like bunnies at first. But when we moved in together and got jobs we also got stressed. But we also work opposite schedules because he works during the day and goes to school at night. So it's pretty tough.

    I'm not in the same situation as you Flamingo, but I have read from a lot of different sources that "just doing it" even if you (or him) aren't in the mood can end up raising the libido in general. So try to start things up as often as possible, and then maybe he will get back into the swing of things?

    Haha - I'd never heard sex called 'Twister' until the Bee boards!

    We currently live in his parents basement (and it's not a self-contained apartment), so the sex-life has gone from fab & spontaneous to once-a-week is a great week. Ugh! Can't wait to be in our own place again!

    I understand why it is hard Flamingo. I think of myself as a tough Bunny (or something like that) but when it comes to my guy and what he thinks about me it's like I am a little girl, one comment about my hair and I am all "Ahh he doesn't like my hair he isn't attracted to me blah" 95% of the time. And hell my guy is around the freaking world from me and I still worry sometimes. Not that I am assuming you are like me, I am just saying...I get why it's hard.

    Blah I feel like I didn't explain that well.
