On a scale of 0 to 10, how satisfied are you with your sex life?
We wrote and scheduled this post on July 2nd. By the time it is published on July 13th, we will have been on a road trip with Jack’s parents for almost a week. We imagine that having them in close quarters for so long will be hell on our sex life, and would probably skew our answer. Therefore we are opting to write it now, in the comfort of our own home, and in the afterglow of really hot sex.
Rather than posting two separate answers to this question, we discussed it and discovered that our feelings are about the same. On a scale of 0 to 10, we both consider ourselves about an 8. Why not a ten? Well, we are realists. While it’s true that we are very satisfied with our sex life, we know that there is always room for improvement, and we strive constantly to do better.
Also, we can’t always have sex as often as we’d like. Various obligations including work and family interfere with our dreams of having sex twelve hours a day and sleeping the other twelve. If we could live that kind of life, that would take us up to 9.5 easily. But we really have little reason to complain. Our desires are regularly indulged, most of our (reasonable) fantasies are fulfilled, and we have pretty much everything we require to truly be sexually satisfied.
Still, there are always going to be new things we want to try, including toys, positions, locations, and people. To some extent these things act as motivation, and keep us wanting more. Thus we remain focused and not complacent. Sexually, we are always on the move.
Despite the joke I made above, I don’t know that anything would really elevate us above an 8. Our attitudes toward sex mean we’re always grounded in reality, and we realize that perfection is hardly ever achievable.

* is about perfect, after all – a straight 10 would mean you could only look forward to going down hill 🙂 Good on you both
I love the fact that you’re not too bigheaded about your own sex life. An 8, i think, is a very big and realistic accomplishment! As you said, there is always room for improvement and also, new toys and games keep coming out.. Being a ten is slightly unrealistic.
Well I would get on Formspring if they would let me back on.. sighs.. I think an 8 is great. Like you I don’t get it near enough as I would like and still have fantasies to fulfill.
