Mum stunned after finding out how often couples have sex

A mum on TikTok is demanding an explanation – and asking some big questions – after a surprising stat popped up on her For You page. 
Madison Barbosa found out some parents are having sex four to five times a week, and we were just as surprised as she was about it. 
“Are you guys doing the hanky-panky, like, multiple times a week?” she asked her followers on TikTok. 
Watch the video above.
Most mums out there would agree that most nights, by the time you’ve battled through a day of work, daycare pick ups, dinner time, bath, bedtime and sorted the house out, the last thing you’re thinking about is getting it on.
Well, that’s not the case for a lot of people. 
“I just saw a video on my For You page. It was a mum asking other mums how often are you guys doing the deed… and some of the comments said four times a week. How? With what energy?” she asked. 
“When you’re a parent to small children it’s so f—ing hard to find time for intimacy. It’s so hard.

“It’s not that I’m not attracted to my husband. It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just the fact that at the end of the day, I am so tired of being f—ing touched. I don’t want to be touched anymore. I don’t want to be touched.”
She went on to admit that she’s got so much guilt about feeling that way, especially when her husband’s love language is physical touch – like most men – but she just cannot do it. 
“But like, you people that are doing it four times a week. Your coochie’s OK?” she joked. 
“Four or five times a week. It doesn’t seem normal to me. It doesn’t seem normal.”
Well, the comments prove she’s not alone in this feeling and a lot of people admitted that four to five times a week is just not happening.

Plenty of mums opened up about how they really feel about sex after having kids and it’s a very eye-opening reality check about what’s actually going on with a lot of couples.  
“3 times for one week and then not again until the next month,” commented one woman. 
Another replied, “Sometimes is 3-4 times a week and then nothing for weeks.” 
“What’s a number less than zero please?” joked one mum. 
Another added, “I feel like we don’t get to be alone for 4 or 5 times a week to even try.”

Other mums shared their reasons for not wanting to actually have sex and the reasons are pretty valid. 
“Girl I’ve done it 3x in 19m. I feel so touched out and still BFing (breastfeeding)really makes me not want to,” wrote one mum. 
Another mum wrote, “I’m terrified of getting pregnant again so I don’t even want to.” 
Then on the flipside, one woman explained how she gets it done, literally. 
“Intimacy starts at the beginning of the day. Not at night. I will sacrifice a little bit of sleep to have time with my partner. What’s the worst that will happen? I need an extra cup of coffee?” replied one woman.
