How often is it appropriate for men and women to have sex?

"Having sex once a day, isn't that treating everyone like animals?" In fact, even animals only go into heat and mate during certain seasons of the year, and the frequency of sexual intercourse in humans ranks among the highest in the animal kingdom.

As the saying goes, "If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools." Humans have such a high frequency of sexual intercourse that no one in the world can compare to them; the size of the male human reproductive organ is also one of the largest among primates. Take the testicles for example. The average testicle of a male gorilla weighing 200 kg is only 39 grams, while that of a human is 47 grams. Let's compare it with the pride of us men - the penis. Although the gorilla is huge and one of them is as strong as ten adult men, the length of its penis when erect is only 3.4 cm (a matchstick); the chimpanzee's penis when erect is 7.5 cm (a toothpick); and the human's penis is a full 14 cm, four times that of the giant gorilla. How about that? Are you proud? During the long process of human evolution, not only has the brain evolved to become the largest, but the small head below has not fallen behind either.

Why does this happen? On the one hand, there are behavioral reasons, which are related to the sexual positions adopted by humans, and also to the frequency of sexual intercourse. So the cause and effect relationship is reversed, because humans have had more and more frequent sexual intercourse during the process of evolution, and the sexual organs associated with it have also evolved accordingly. In other words, "If you do a good job first, your tools will be useful later."

From the perspective of biological evolution, having sex frequently is a very natural thing. It is in line with the general direction of human evolution rather than going against it. Because this cannot be stopped by anyone's subjective efforts. Human physiological basis has evolved to this level, and human social civilization has also reached this height. Everything is a natural thing. No sex life or too little sex life will have side effects on the human body.

In fact, the ancients had already argued this. In Volume 28 of "Yi Xin Fang", it was written: "Men and women complement each other, just as heaven and earth give birth to each other. Heaven and earth have the way of intercourse, so there is no end to their lives; people lose the way of intercourse, so there is a gradual death. It is better to know the method of intercourse. The key to the method is to have sex with young girls more often and not to ejaculate too often, so that people can feel light and all diseases can be eliminated." This "having sex with young girls more often" means having sex with young women more often. This may be misleading, and I have reservations about it. However, from the perspective of modern Western medicine, lack of sex life is extremely detrimental to health. Statistics show that the incidence of various neurological disorders among old virgins who have abstained from sex for many years is much higher than that of normal women. So much so that "old maid" has become synonymous with "trivial, neurotic woman".

How often is it appropriate to have sex?

I think it depends on the person. Here, Momotaro recommends a test on the frequency of sex conducted by a couple who had been married for many years. They had sex almost every day for 28 days. As a result, the man's body became stronger and the woman's body became slimmer. The sexual relationship between the couple also improved, and many dissatisfactions and frictions that occurred during the day were also alleviated. The result they obtained was: having sex every day is beneficial and harmless.

At the beginning, as the couple's careers were at their peak, their daily lives were very busy and they were exhausted when they returned home. Moreover, the two people's schedules are completely incompatible. One goes to bed on time at 11 o'clock in the evening, while the other likes to work late at night. They rarely go to bed at the same time, and their sexual activities have decreased from 3 or 4 times a week to 1 or 2 times a month. However, if you want to follow suit, you should consider your own situation. People with heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes should be careful.
