You may have heard from various couples therapists or relationship books that once a week sex is all it takes to keep a relationship alive and happy.
But is this number really a real measure of sex life?
There seems to be no golden rule for how often you and your partner should have sex to be considered a healthy couple. Experts say that you should not fixate on the frequency, but what matters is that you feel included, safe and comfortable in every moment of the intimate act.
The three distinctive signs are:
#1 You can't wait to have sex
In other words, you shouldn't get upset, feel guilty, or approach it with a "let's get it out of the way again" attitude. If you're happy with the way things are going in the bedroom, you look forward to the physical aspect, the intimate contact, no matter how often it happens.
#2 Feel satisfied every moment during the act
Quality is more important than quantity. So, instead of dwelling on the number of times you spend in bed with the person of your heart, it is more useful to understand how you feel while the act is happening. But if something goes wrong, you have to work together to enter another mutually agreeable chapter.
#3 You're comfortable telling your partner what you want (and don't want)
Maybe you are curious to experiment with sex toys for the first time. Or the permanent positions are getting a bit boring, so you want new things that make the experience memorable. A good indicator of a satisfying sex life is the fact that you feel safe enough to express your needs, desires and concerns as a couple.
