He only wanted sex twice a day

The man who was poisoned by his partner because she claimed he wanted sex five times a day, has said he only wanted sex twice a day which he “did not think … was unreasonable in a new relationship”.

One could have a fascinating discussion about what is reasonable in a new relationship and then later on. Does the decline in frequency have a mathemathical formula it follows?

I have to say I think the woman was very lucky to get off. If you don’t want sex as much as your partner, just tell him – don’t poison him. And if you can’t work out a compromise, then split up.

Incidentially the stereotype that women always want it less than men is not something that is universally true based on the number of female friends who have told me how annoyed they are they don’t get to shag their partners more often.
