How often is it best to have sex?

Sex life is a spice of life and a catalyst for deepening the relationship between couples. It can be seen that sex life is extremely important, but we should not be too indulgent in it. Reasonable arrangements are best. There is no clear answer as to how often it is best to have sex. It needs to be judged based on the age, needs, etc. of the couple.

1. Is the sex formula reasonable?

“Sexual frequency = the first digit of age × 9”. An American sexologist announced his findings at a sex forum organized in China, and the audience was shocked.

According to this formula, for a person in his twenties (20 to 29 years old), his (her) sex formula is 2×9=18, 18 can be seen as a combination of 10 and 8, which means that the suitable frequency of sex for him (her) is 8 times within 10 days; for a person in his (her) thirties (30 to 39 years old), his (her) sex formula is 3×9=27, which means that he (she) is suitable for having sex 7 times within 20 days.

The experts also summarized the empirical formula through questionnaire surveys. To date, it does not have much scientific basis in the laboratory sense. It is just a formula for people's reference. The formula is the same for everyone, but the frequency of sexual life depends on one's physical condition, mood, love, etc.

2. Healthy sex age and frequency

The frequency of sexual intercourse is not fixed. It varies with a person's age and physical condition. Different people have different frequencies of sexual intercourse. As it is said in the Su Nu Jing: "A person who is 20 years old ejaculates once every four days; a person who is 30 years old ejaculates once every eight days; a person who is 40 years old ejaculates once every sixteen days; a person who is 50 years old ejaculates once every twenty-one days; a person who is 60 years old ejaculates once a month." With the continuous development of medicine, people have come to realize that controlling sexual intercourse requires specific analysis of specific situations. The standard for sexual intercourse is that one should not feel tired the next day, and should be energetic and in a good mood. Younger and stronger people can have sex three or four times a week, or even once a day. Older and weaker people should limit their sexual intercourse to once a week, once every half a month, or even once a month.

3. How long is the healthiest time to have sex?

Good sex usually lasts no longer than 13 minutes.

A study from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States pointed out that people's expectations and myths about long sex are actually wrong. Excluding foreplay, experts believe that good sex usually lasts 13 minutes or less.

The study surveyed members of the American Association for Sex Therapy and Research, including psychologists, doctors, social workers, marriage therapists and nurses with decades of experience who have cared for thousands of patients. 34 experts answered what they thought was the ideal length of time for sex (excluding foreplay). According to them, 3-7 minutes is appropriate, 7-13 minutes is the ideal length of time people want, any time longer than this is too long, and any time less than 3 minutes is too short.

The psychologists who conducted the study pointed out that people's interpretations of their own or their partners' sexual abilities develop in a social environment, and unrealistic expectations can lead to widespread disappointment and frustration. Unfortunately, today's popular culture still reinforces old myths about sex that people imagine: long sex, big penises, etc. Previous research has found that large numbers of men and women say they expect sex to last more than 30 minutes.
