At some point in life, many couples guess and ask themselves, "How many times do other couples have sex?" Although the answer is not clear, sex therapists have said many things about this very topic.
There are many answers among sex therapists about what is average for couples in long-term relationships. Answers can range from once a week to once a month! When Ian Kerner was asked how he answers couples who ask him how often they should have sex, he said: "I have always answered that there is no right answer."
When couples stop having sex, their relationship becomes vulnerable to anger, separation, infidelity, and, ultimately, divorce.
A couple's sex life is influenced by so many different factors: age, lifestyle, each partner's health and lust and of course, the quality of the overall relationship.
"There may be no exact answer to the question of how often couples should have sex, lately I advise couples to try to have sex at least once a week." - he said.
Most sex therapists agree that having sex less than 10 times a year is reason enough to label your marriage / cohabitation or relationship as a sexless relationship.
However, the lack of sex does not mean that the relationship is in trouble, according to experts. Sex can be one of the ways in which couples express their love and desire for each other, the lack of sex does not necessarily mean that you are towards a separation, although it is something you should appreciate.
Dr. Kerner says, "Sex seems to be rapidly coming to the bottom of the list of 'things to do' of people; but, in my experience, when couples stop having sex, their relationship becomes vulnerable to anger, separation, infidelity. and, ultimately, divorce.I believe sex matters: it is the glue that holds us together and, without it, couples become 'good friends' at best, or 'roommates fighting' at best bad. ”
