It's just a silly poll; I'm not looking for ultimate representation here. And, just to be clear, I never said that the word ideal is synonymous with "something perfect".
The reason why I made this poll was to see what people expected or what they thought was ideal, about the quantity of sex in these long-term relationships. Specifically, I was interested in knowing if these ideals differed in any way between those who have been in long relationships and those who have not.
I didn't want people to treat it like a test and guess what they thought the right or wrong answers were; I wanted something slightly more personal. And I hoped, that if people wanted to elaborate or be more specific, they could do so--as many have--in the comments.
As for my answer selection being minimal: Well, I didn't want to bombard users with a long list of answers, so I limited it to categories that I was specifically interested in: daily, few times a week, weekly, monthly basis. I gave my own personal ideals (in a comment) only as an example of how my ideals could differ from what I believe the averages or norms may be (I was only guessing about that too, that's why I wrote "probably").
For the record, I am acutely aware, through personal experience, that individuals have very different sex drives.
How often is enough in a long-term committed relationship?
