Sexual intercourse can cause a change in your communication with your partner. Sexual problems also bring relationship problems. Sex in long relationships is getting less and less. Relationship expert Jake Maddock said it’s backed by science, saying how many times a week couples should have sex.
AFFECTS MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH
Jake Maddock says you should get intimate with your partner two to three times a week because it provides ‘mental and physical health benefits’ and ‘hormonal regulation’. ‘There’s a lot of science behind this. Research has shown that it is very good for women to orgasm three times a week. Jake said in a TikTok video that it’s good for their mental, physical health, their body.
REGULATES HORMONES
It is good for men’s hormonal regulation, mental health and physical health. Having sex two to three times a week will help you bond really well in your relationship.’ Over time, he said, as couples became comfortable with each other, they began to develop ‘lazy’ habits by not having frequent sex.
CAN CAUSE TIME TO LEAVE
“In long-term relationships, people seem to get lazy and say, “once a week is fine,” “once a month is fine,” they get even lazier and you break up. One study found that married couples have sex 51 times a year, about once a week. Couples therapist and sexologist Isiah McKimmie told the House of Wellness that the number varies and depends on life and circumstances.
THE IMPORTANT IS FINDING SEXUAL PLEASURE THAT WORKS
“There isn’t a certain amount of sex for a great relationship, and it’s normal for two partners to have different ideas about how much sex they want,” Isiah said. ‘The important thing is that couples work together to find sexual pleasure that works for both.’
