Depending on each person's unique physical, mental, and emotional demands, the frequency of sexual activity varies. Experts say that while frequent sex is healthy, too much or too little of it can have negative effects.
What are the opinions of experts?
It is deemed healthy to have sex two to four times a week.
A healthy sexual life is associated with both excellent mental and physical health, according to data from the American health Association.
Frequency is not as crucial as the quality of sex.
Effects of sex on health:
Good for heart disease: Having sex regularly lowers the risk of heart disease and increases blood circulation.
Lessens stress and depression: During intercourse, "happiness hormones" like oxytocin and endorphins are produced, elevating mood and lowering anxiety.
Increases immunity: Studies show that those who have sex one or two times each week have stronger immune systems.
Enhances sleep: The body relaxes and promotes deep slumber after intercourse.
Pelvic muscle strength: Regular sexual activity increases the quality of sex for both men and women by strengthening the pelvic and core muscles.
Enhances life expectancy: Research indicates that those who engage in sexual activity on a regular basis can extend their lifespan by a number of years.
What happens if you have too much or too little sex?
Not getting enough sex (less than once a month):
There is a chance that stress levels will rise.
The connection could include gaps.
There may be a decline in the body's innate sexual drive.
Excessive sexual activity (daily or several times each day):
Energy loss and fatigue are possible.
The penis may be burning, hurting, or swollen.
Unbalances in hormones can happen.
So what is the right amount?
20-30 years old: 3-5 times a week
30-40 years old: 2-4 times a week
40-50 years old: 1-3 times a week
50+ years old: 1-2 times a week (depending on physical ability)
In the end, each couple's physical and emotional requirements determine how frequently they have sex. Maintaining a joyful, loving, and fulfilling sexual life is the primary objective.
