How Much Of Sex Should A Couple Have? by Demichaels: 10:18pm On May 09, 2015
It’s a conflict that comes up in almost every
relationship that has managed to last for a year
or two (or maybe even just a few months).
It causes tension, fights, and hurt feelings. Often
both partners feel misunderstood and frustrated.
Regardless of their satisfaction level, most
couples will eventually have some conflict
regarding s*x. Research shows that one of the
most common fights couples have centers around
s*xual frequency or how often the couple is
engaging in s*xual intimacy. Stereotypically this
involves a male partner seeking higher frequency
than his female counterpart but this is not always
the case. Regardless, unmet expectations in the
bedroom can trickle over and cause
communication problems, a lack of emotional
connection, and general instability in the
relationship. So how do you counter such
negativity? What is the right amount of s*x? Here
are some general thoughts to help make sure this
issue doesn’t undermine the other parts of your
relationship.
How much s*x should a couple have?
The right answer to this question is that there is
no “right amount.” Every couple is different and,
more importantly, every person encounters
changing life circumstances due to illness,
careers, and children (among many other things)
that will interact with s*xual desire and
availability. There may be times in a couple’s life
where having s*x every day would be perfectly
possible while at other times it would be a
logistical impossibility. Research shows that an
“average” couple generally has s*x about 2-3
times per week. However, if you’re worried that
you’re under this average I would encourage you
to think about your intimacy over the course of
several weeks or even several months. Again,
every couple will have good and bad weeks in
terms of intimacy frequency and there is no magic
number that couples need to hit to be “healthy”.
How do you avoid negative conflict about s*xual
intimacy?
For the partner wanting more:
Understand intimacy is a two-way street. s*x
obviously involves two people. It is very clear
from research that s*x is more fulfilling,
enjoyable, and satisfying if both partners have a
desire for that intimacy. If you are the partner
who wants to have s*x more regularly, realize
that having s*x every day may not be the
enjoyable experience you think it will be if your
partner’s desire does not match your own. Be
okay with delaying intimacy if your partner isn’t
in the mood and avoid taking this as a personal
rejection.
For the partner wanting less:
Understand that your partner is likely seeking
connection, not physical gratification. Often the
person who wants less s*x views their partner as
s*x crazed and overly focused on the physical
element of the relationship. It can feel like this is
all your partner cares about. It is important for
the person desiring less s*x to realize that
attempts to engage in s*x are one of the best
signs of a healthy relationship and are often
coming from a desire for both physical and
emotional connection. In our modern world there
are plenty of places that people can turn to
(online or otherwise) if they are only seeking
personal gratification. Your partner’s attempts to
be intimate are likely coming from a loving place
and a desire to be intimate with you. Treat such
attempts as such and be careful about how your
reaction might be overly negative or feel rejecting
to your partner.
For both partners:
Talk about the taboo. Even among married
couples who have been sexually intimate for
many years, s*x can be a taboo topic. In order to
engage in healthy communication it is vital that
such couples bring issues related to s*x out in
the open. If one partner wants to become intimate
and the other doesn’t, talk about a “rain check”
and have the partner who isn’t in the mood
explain clearly why. While it may not sound
romantic, scheduling intimacy can be a very
practical and useful thing for many couples
(especially those with children). Schedule that
rain check for the next day and then spend the
day flirting and teasing each other. Make it
something you both look forward too. Another
option may be to take turns being in “charge” of
planning and initiating intimacy. Above all else,
talk about intimacy and s*x.

I believe no amount of sex is too much as far as the couple enjoy it, sexual pleasure should be mutual. None should enjoy it at the expense of the other. if the man wants it five times a day, if the woman is not cool with it then it is too much. but if the woman wants it as much as the man wants it then it is not too much
