PSA - Here’s How Much Sex You Should Have Every Week ... per science

[Svnla]

About once a week is optimal? Married folks have sex a little over once a week? That's it?

The average adult enjoys sex 54 times a year, or a little more than once a week, Twenge's data show. While married couples under the same roof don’t fool around quite as much, they still have sex about 51 times each year.

That’s a good thing, because having sex once a week may be “optimal” if you’re hoping to maximize happiness, according to research from Amy Muise, an assistant professor of psychology at York University in Canada.

A wise man once said, "For true happiness, it's not the absolute number of times it happens but whether the frequency is increasing or decreasing."

That doesn't count all the times they had sex but didn't enjoy it?

Must be using a very short year.

So my wife's -once a month- schedule is way off?

 

[Riverhound777]

That sounds reasonable for married people, though I have to wonder if it's true. My guess is it's not, more likely that some couples have sex a ton, and most have it less often. Hell I wasn't even married to my ex and when we moved in it went from rabbits to every two weeks if I was lucky. I sure hope that isn't the norm but I bet it is.

I'm only 46, and I still do it 3x a week! (Just not with her )

I'm sorry.

 

[shortylickens]

Oh look, here's another good reason for me to kill myself!

 

[TheSiege]

Jesus, I have had sex more than 54 times this year. My girlfriend and I average 1 a day. We miss a day here and there, but there has been quite a few 2+ times a day and we have 3 kids between us. Her appetite is probably larger than mine when it comes to sex...

Conspicuously missing from the fact is the phrase, 'with each other'.

Not sure if this is a perverted thread or an educational thread. Let me put on my thinking cap on.

Hand count?

I'm just asking!

Don't some states make the spouse who makes more send money to the other one? Sounds like something you might want to look into
