    How would you like to have sex 365 nights in a row?

    Getty ImagesGetty Images
    Two couples are making news for doing the audacious, the unthinkable: having "married sex" every single night. According to the New York Times, "Let's say you and your spouse haven't had sex in so long that you can't remember the last time you did. Not the day. Not the month. Maybe not even the season. Would you look for gratification elsewhere? Would you file for divorce? Or would you turn to your mate and say, 'Honey, you know, I've been thinking. Why don't we do it for the next 365 days in a row?'

    That's more or less what happened to Charla and Brad Muller. And in another example of an erotic adventure supplanting married ennui, a second couple, Annie and Douglas Brown, embarked on a similar, if abbreviated journey: 101 straight days of post-nuptial sex."

    Two new books, 365 Nights, and the Nike-esque Just Do It, chronicle their adventures in marital stimulation, although, if you're looking for the dirty details, well, you probably won't find them, as the books tend to shy away from the graphic. Too bad. But with numbers provided by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago--"married couples have intercourse about 66 times a year; but that number is skewed by young marrieds, as young as 18, who couple, on average, 84 times a year"--well, no wonder people are interested in their undertaking.

    Okay, call me crazy, but perhaps for the reasons detailed in Em & Lo's post about how sex writers suffer from um, overinundation, I personally, would not choose to have sex every single night of the week, even if it's with my partner who I am very, VERY much in love with, or even if it's with that hot dude from Sex & the City, or even if it's threesomes all the time, any time. Quite simply put, I need my beauty sleep. Or something like that.

    Okay, really, I guess my fear about this whole experiment is that it might create the antithesis of intimacy: monotony. When you force sex, aren't you just asking to take it for granted?

    "Annie said that she and her husband reached a place in their relationship that they have seldom approached since. 'It was just this intense closeness,' she said. 'We were so aware of wherever the other person was mentally and emotionally and physically."

    Aww, that's sweet. Now, um, is the laundry still in the dryer? And where is my Sleepytime Tea?

    How do you feel about this arrangement? Are you having "married sex" right now, or are you watching the Daily Show with your laptop on your bedside table alongside that novel you've been meaning to finish with your husband drooling on your shoulder?

      The thought of 365 is not the problem for me! My question is how do you keep it from becoming another daily chore, like cleaning the kitchen or cooking dinner. If you and your hubby are just adding it to your list of daily duties then, not sure it would remain FUN! They also don't mention kids, if you have kids you know that sometimes the best sex can come to a screaching hault when little Johnny come to tell you he is sick or scared. Not like your gonna say, "ok sweeetie, mommy will be right there let me finish with Daddy."

      i just got back together with my husband for about 2 months and we have had sex no less than 1 time a day to 3 times a day and it has got old and i do not enjoy it now at all and he gets mad because i cant keep going and it takes him a lot longer to do his thing and it is making our relationship go down instead of making it better.SO DON'T TRY IT 365 DAYS BECAUSE IT SUCKS!

      well i think having
      sex daily is good
      keeps both on toe love an intimacy till death do us part
      treat it as if you need food daily basis or life long medicine daily
      trust me you will never be bore
      tell me who does not like sex ?
      it is all the priority that needed be set right
      24 hours in a day i am sure can have or find time for it

      You couples only average 84 times a year? o_O I'd say I would average 144 times a year. As for doing it 365 times a year, I would be down with it, as long as it didn't have to be every day and just make up for it with multiple times other days. Because some days I'm just plain not in the mood to even be touched lol.

      Well, I've been married 15+ years and we still manage 2-3 nights a week depending on how busy we are so I don't think "married sex" is that bad. As for 365 nights a year...no way! My husband gets up at 5:00 for work and I get up at 6:00 to get our son off to school. There are times when we just need to sleep!

      We tried to do this but, my wife gave up she said that she just could not keep up. I was having a great time. We have been married 28 years I'm 49 and she is 52. I can still go twice a day but, she says a women is different as she gets older. What do you think?

      love is beautiful it is feel deos not explaine, but sex is good intrested after some days we can feel bore
    • Fayek W  •  4 years 0 months ago
      well the thinking is worlds apart men are so much in heat 365 days of the year, but what women love are hugs and kisses .
      If having sex 365 days of the year is possible this would strenthen the bonding between any two couples who are husband and wife

      I've always considered myself somewhat of a sexual stallion, kind of like the "Rocky" of the bedroom. But, everyday for 365 days???

      At some point, I think it would become more about trying to establish some sort of Guiness record, than about enjoying the pleasure of each other sexually. More like work, than the pleasurable experience that it should be.

      Quality over Quantity any day! The thought is interesting enough, but the reality of HAVING to have sex even if you are sick, if you are having and emotional time in your life (like a death in the family or job loss) or you are just plain tired, makes sex seem more like a chore and less like the intimate (or just plain fun) act that it is.

      I wake up my wife every night after we are somewhat rested. About 2-4am' and I get off. I am 48, she is 47, (365 X 23 yrs.-married) At least twice a week, I do it a second time,occasionally a third. I never get bored, she is attractive, nice tush! I Have fun for free, She is my wife, a main reason I got married was the safe free sex. It's healthy, relieves stress, and makes life worth living, especially for guys! Most women get a kick from shopping, They would do it everyday. I prefer sex-Nightly! A relationship is give and take,,so I give in alot of ways,,vice versa Most of the month, My wife could take it or leave it. If I slow down, she may want me to slow down and a slow way down cycle then occurs- as men wait for women to initiate, but it usually never happens since most women are usually only "in desire" about once a month, What's the point in waiting. GRAB THAT A++ AND GET OFF with YOUR WIFE AMERICA (don't stray) Those who say, a women should not feel pressured are usually the women in total control of thier husbands sex lives. What's 20 minutes a day for sex??? What I want to KNOW,,,,,Why do guys put up with it???? No choice,,,maybe women really want to be with sissy men,,, I don't know?

      I would love to have sex every day. I'm one of those people that can never get enough. But on the other hand, it would have to be with someone I was madly in love with. Becuase if it's just sex, it would get boring really quick & then I wouldn't want it. But if it is the love of my life, hell yeah we could do it like rabbits, every single day. Sounds like fun.
