I saw an article the other day about a man who kept a spreadsheet to prove to his wife that they weren't having enough sex. It had the date, whether or not they had sex, and an 'excuse' column for if they didn't.

I dated a woman who kept a spreadsheet of every guy that she ever made out with, from high school on. Needless to say she was a little neurotic. Good thing I happen to like a little neurotic.

I'd hardly need a spreadsheet. I just go by the year it happened, or decade in an especially barren spell.
 
Nothing makes me want to fuck more than a spreadsheet showing how often I dont.

I get more sex than any man I know well enough to know how much sex he gets. The older one gets, there is a delicate seesaw. Life gets busier, energy goes down, and sex is an expendable luxury. Like any luxury, if you don't plan ahead, you can't afford it. Sex requires a time, a place, and the energy to enjoy it.

There was a time when sex in the kitchen was fun, but who wants dried pizza sauce stuck to their knees because there wasn't time to mop the floor this week? Why wasn't there time? Because there were more important things to do. If spreadsheet boy was serious about solving the problem, he would chart what his wife does for the 168 hours that comprise a week. Then, he could see what activities she could forego in order to make more time for him. This would probably mean he has to do some of them, but let's hope she's worth the effort.

The spreadsheet idea is about as dumb as it gets. It's in second place to "If you don't, I'll find it somewhere else."
 
Except spreadsheet dude and his sexually disinterested (in him) wife were neither particularly old, nor married for ages. I read that at the time. My money is on an affair with the guy she meets when she is supposed to be at the gym.

Bronze is correct about the tapering over time in most relationships and the need to make time, space and energy for it, but this was a case of bed death. The relationship was already over, sexually. Blame him, blame her, blame compatibility. Doesn't matter. Sex less than 10 times per year is considered to be a sexless relationship.

That isn't to say that some people cannot be content in such a relationship, but you are roommates, not sexual partners with the frequency shown by spreadsheet couple.
 
Query would have no problem keeping a spreadsheet on his sexual adventures. He hasn't had any this century.

Make sure you post that too, pussy.
 
Bronze, spread the sheet on the kitchen floor to protect your knees from the pizza sauce.
 
I actually do keep track, in my head. I have a specific number per week, and if the number isn't met, it rolls over into the next week.

I consider it akin to what bronze was saying- if you don't make time for it, and make it a priority, it is all too easy for it to just not happen.

I should have known it had been posted earlier, but I just stumbled across it myself. Obviously that guy was a douchebag.

LOL. See.. now that's funny. Good natured, witty barb. Why'ncha give pal Skiddles some pointers. He seems to has lost his funny lately.

You should've stopped there, though...this next part just looks whiny rather than strong and aloof as above.

Its a hassle having to keep taking me off ignore to check, Isn't it? I hate that.
 
If it's been long enough in between that I start keeping track, there's an issue.

I can't imagine keeping a spreadsheet. All that time he put into that, he could have been boinking his wife. Maybe all of her excuses were because he's a douche.
 
Dude should have found an attorney right around the quarter year mark. It won't get any better after that.
 
The problem tends to be that the other person is in denial and maneuvers the conversation around to making you think you are crazy or making it up.

While I haven't gone to the extent of making a spreadsheet I have kept track in my head or put a little mark on the calendar.

Of course if you only have to remember the month or even the year that they deigned to have sex with you it's pretty easy to keep track
 
My electronic Day-Timer has a clickable field to record an icon for the weather each day. I've gotten in the habit of clicking the smiley sun when I get some.

I like that.

It is a little dose of sunshine when it happens, isn't it?
 
I use the fertility awareness method of birth control, so I know when to have sex and when not to. I do mark the days I have sex. But it's been woefully sex free lately.

I keep my priorities straight.

It's really simple. If you want to see a movie together, there's a point in time where both of you have to be dressed and ready to get in the car. If you waste time, it becomes a rush, you scramble to get out the door, get there late, can't find good seats and don't have a good time. How many times would anybody endure that before saying, "Fuck it, movies are too much trouble."

I recognize the sex killers and take care of it before it's a problem. When I had a house in the suburbs, there was no working in the yard till sundown. I cut that off early enough for us both to shower(together, of course), and have a couple hours to eat and relax before sundown. I spent enough time as a bachelor to know what housework needed to be done. Things like laundry and dishes didn't pile up because I know how to do that kind of stuff and do my share.

There was one rule that was strictly enforced, no children in the bed. I know too many people that started when their child was an infant and one day the realize there is a five year old between them. This leads to a lot of only children. My wife(at the time) didn't see the harm. I told her, "You are going to be the one who explains an erection to a two year old girl." That settled it.
