How often sex is enough

Hi how often would you people say is enough sex between you and your partner , what is considered a healthy amount

It would very much depend on the individual/couple and their sex drives and circumstances I would imagine.

There isn’t a standard ā€œhealthy amountā€.

Yh true but after more averages and what most people do , like how much a week would satisfy yourself

Hmm, interesting question. Personally, I don’t really think about how ā€˜much’ sex I want - I’d rather focus on a shared enjoyable experience. So how ā€˜much’ for me, is quality, not quantity.

What about yourself @Tomthetester? How about you create a poll? :slight_smile:

I agree.
On balance I’d rather have amazing sex infrequently than average sex frequently.

Surely one proper session with explosive orgasms, proper connection, and where you both actually feel it is miles better than 10 quickies just for the sake of doing it. It’s not about how often, it’s about how good it actually is for both of you. Like @Lovehoney_Brenna says, ā€œQuality over quantity!ā€

We have some sort of sexual activity every day but it doesn’t always involve penetration and is usual focussed on just one of us.

What the two of you decide and accept. And that may not be the same for both of you especially if the relationship is more than just about sex.

If it is a marriage there are so many other aspects to the relationship other than sex.

Also consider you are asking on a sexuality driven message board so the responses are going to be weighted towards more is better.

If it’s partnered sex, none :grin:

Solo probably 2 - 4 times a week, some more, some less.

Yh that is true quality is also very very important but I think a mix of them both is great , I will certainly make a poll

That’s fair enough I think a little something everyday is the best way to go

fair enough

Hmm well as I’m single my current is literally nothing so I’d say anything is better than that surely :joy::sob::face_holding_back_tears:

I’m sapiosexual, so if I’m mentally aroused, there is never ā€œenoughā€ for me.

I would say there’s no correct amount, every one’s different. If you feel satisfied then you’re having enough. My fiancĆ©e used to have a higher sex drive than me and I used to feel pressured and then struggled to perform which gave me bad anxiety. It’s now the other way around as she’s gone thru menopause and other heath issues. I now totally understand as I was in that situation and now feel more relaxed in the relationship and realised it’s more than just sex. As we often don’t have it from one month to the next I do get urges so would say I’m not having enough so I use masturbation as a way to satisfy myself.

For us it really depends on how hectic we have both been at work, how busy our social life is at any time and stress levels. Sex is a huge part of our relationship though.
There’s no pattern to each week. Sometimes we’ll go a few days without doing it and sometimes at the weekend we might do it a couple of times on the same day.

We know we average about four times a week, but would love more. That’s why we love going on holiday so much, the frequency dramatically increases then.

We’re just shy of daily as far as our average. I don’t balk if we go a day without but if we hit two days either one of us is sick or something’s off in our relationship.

Having a disabled wife, we don’t have it that frequently, not through a lack of want on either part, normally because she’s worn out from pain and the day to day of dealing with her disabilities. Some weeks we are almost daily, others we go for a couple of weeks without. Nothing wrong with our relationship, purely how her body is not her head

It all depends on the circumstances. Like your age, children young or older,individual sex drives whether you both work illness i could go on. Circumstances change through life and can get better or worse due to menopause or illness.

We have no children and are both retired so we have all our time to ourselves but only manage sex twice a week. We would like more but my husbands ed is an issue for us which we are working on and hope to resolve.
