How many times a week is appropriate for sex?

Sleeping together is a sign of the intensification of love and a way to express love to each other. Sexual knowledge has been widely popularized nowadays, but people still find it difficult to talk about sex. A survey shows that sexual life between couples has a certain impact on the length of life. But even if you both want to, you shouldn't sleep together too often. So how many times a week is most appropriate for couples to have sex?

With the progress of society, people's living standards are improving, and their requirements for life are getting higher and higher. Especially for couples, sex life has become particularly important. The quality of sex life will directly affect the relationship between couples. But sex life needs to be moderate and not too frequent, so how many times a month is appropriate for couples to have sex?

It is difficult to explain this question in a few words. Generally speaking, couples aged 20 to 30 have sex 3 to 5 times a week; couples aged 31 to 40 have sex 3 to 4 times a week; couples aged 41 to 50 have sex 2 to 3 times a week; couples aged 51 to 55 have sex 1 to 2 times a week; and couples aged 56 to 60 have sex once a week on average.

Generally speaking, the number of sexual intercourses is basically inversely proportional to age, that is, the older you are, the fewer times you have sex. Most readers are aware of these situations. Every couple is a unique combination, and couple situations vary greatly from one another.

There are physiological differences between men and women, and even among the same sex, there are individual differences. People have many differences in age, personality, physique, and occupation, so the frequency of sexual intercourse among different couples varies greatly. Due to the influence of climate, environment, disease and work and other factors, the frequency of sexual intercourse often changes even for the same couple.

The numbers mentioned above are just rough statistics. It may not be abnormal if the numbers are higher or lower than these numbers. It is understandable that people are worried about the harm of excessive sexual activity.

There is no doubt that many ancient emperors indulged in lust and harmed their bodies and shortened their lives. In order to satisfy their lust, these emperors not only had sexual intercourse too frequently and excessively, but also sought out and abused aphrodisiac tonics. These drugs contained male hormones or elements such as lead, which often damaged sexual function and harmed the body. Therefore, some newspapers and periodicals bring up those emperors to illustrate issues, often consciously or unconsciously using these materials to scare people.

If both husband and wife are in good health, have strong sexual desires, and do not feel any discomfort after sexual intercourse, then having sexual intercourse at a frequency that greatly exceeds general statistics is not necessarily called "indulgence" nor will it be "harmful to the body." Because under normal circumstances, the sexual life between husband and wife will most likely be adjusted naturally. This theory that "indulgence in sex is harmful to the body" is a one-sided view of sex as a tool for maintaining health and prolonging life.

Of course, a happy and harmonious sex life plays a very important role in the physical and mental health of couples and longevity, but this refers to paying attention to sex life health care and health preservation and disease prevention, including the use of various sexual techniques and the correct use of yin and yang complementary means. Under the influence of feudal superstition, the one-way "taking yin to replenish yang" replaced "yin and yang complementation", and "solidifying essence" and "returning essence to nourish the brain" replaced "cherishing essence"; in this way, the correct practice of harmonious and normal sex life to achieve the purpose of health care by not ejaculating during sex or even not having sex at all to "solidify" and "return" the essence in the male body. Fallacies such as "one drop of semen equals ten drops of blood", "sexual exhaustion will damage your life", and "loss of semen will harm your body" have also emerged. This kind of sexual ignorance has dominated the Chinese people for hundreds of years.

In the eyes of many men, the more frequent the sexual intercourse, the more it proves their sexual ability and shows their "masculinity". They try their best to satisfy their wives' demands, hoping to prove their own strength through their wives' sexual excitement. Their repeated sexual intercourse over and over again in one night is more of a psychological satisfaction than a sexual pleasure. The only consolation they get is that they have such a "glorious" history. On the contrary, they reduce the quality of their sex life by doing so. This is because the shorter the time between two sexual intercourses, the less semen will be ejaculated. The more times you repeat it in a short period of time, the less semen you will ejaculate, and the more you repeat it, the less likely you will ejaculate at all, and sexual pleasure will further decrease.
