    I can't vote 'cause there's no option for "Neither - we're having a dry spell!" lol

    But usually, it's honestly close to 50/50. Though I wish it was more like 70 (him)/30. I prefer to be seduced! :)

    Hmm. Both. Sometimes he tries to put the moves on me, and when I want to do it I usually will just start undressing and ask him if he wants to join me.

    I'd have to say it's pretty equal. . .or I try to keep it equal.  He'd probably say it's closer to 60/40 him.

    I'm probably 60% and he's probably 40%.  Funny example from earlier this evening - I've been exhausted all week, but we haven't done it in a few days, and I wanted to but wasn't horny at all.  Basically, he was up for it but also not feeling it in that moment.  So I took my shirt off, he jumped off the couch and grabbed me, and that's how it started.  I guess that's an example of me initiating, but nothing really happens until he grabs me.

    @PitBulLover: That's us too!  Although BC pills also make my drive way lower than his so that also contributes to him initiating way more often than me.  I often have to get warmed up into it (aka - I often don't really feel like sex until we get started with foreplay).

    Usually always him. He loves it when I do, but like PitBullLover, he is always wanting sex! So I don't really get a chance to initiate on my own. I pretty much always want sex, so I've never turned him down. lol.

    I probably do more than he does, but overall it's pretty even.  I love it when he initiates though - I like feeling wanted and I love it when he sort of pounces on me.  :)  I know he likes it when I initiate though.  Overall, I think our sex drives are pretty equal, so it's almost like we both initiate.

    I'd say 70% him...mostly because we are in the mood at different times in the day. He wants it in the morning, and me at night...and he usually wins :)

    @PitBulLover:

    @Mrs.KMM:

    Yes & Yes!

    His is initiating ALL.THE.TIME. And I have a low sex drive for various reasons so, I too usually only get into it once the foreplay starts.

    Sometimes I feel bad that I don't initiate more often, but... I just can't see me being all like "hey hun, you in the mood???" *wink* *drop the shoulder of my shirt to show a little skin*

    I'm just not that girl... I'm awkward.

    @.twist.

    LOL. Im awkward too! I just feel plain ridiculous sometimes when I try to be sexy! I also have been having issues with low sex drive because of my BC so most of the time it him initiating. Im sure he would love it if I did more often though!

    Him 98% of the time. My sex drive hasn't been the same since I got pregnant with our daughter but once he initiates I'm usually all in.

    It's so nice to see some initiate more than the guy!  Initiating has always been a struggle for us, my SO is kind of shy about sex and I'm not at all.  He's been initiating a lot more now though so that's good but for the first 4-5 years it was almost 90% me!

    I initiate most often. It's sometimes frustrating because he has a lower sex drive than me, because I feel like a horn dog! But when he does initiate...it's magical. :)
