Frequency of sexual intercourses

There a lot of people who ask themselves if they are having too much sex or maybe they are having less sexual intercourses then the others.

Furthermore, you can’t find any strict guidance about how much sex is enough and that is exactly the beauty of sex – we are not following any rules and we should not feel it as some kind of everyday obligation.

However there are some numbers that are considered to be “normal”. The common frequency of sexual intercourse is around two to three times a week. However there are many people who practice sex even more. Some people are guided strictly by their own schedules while others enjoy spontaneous sex. If you are having sex less than two times a week this doesn’t mean that you are doing something wrong. If your partner is happy and you are happy and the whole sexual act is passionate then you don’t need to be worried about anything.  On the other hand if you feel bad about the infrequent sexual intercourses you should talk honestly about that with your partner.

This also means that the second group of people is most likely to have sex more frequently because of the bigger excitement.

You should always be open minded and seek your own sexual combination which depends on your reactions: if only one of you needs more sex, his or her needs can be satisfied with additional techniques and align those needs with your own.

Of course you should be aware that over the years the frequency decreases but there is no age in which you wouldn’t want to surprise yourself in some occasions. That’s why you should not feel miserable because of the frequency of your sexual intercourses and don’t worry if your friends tell you that they are having much more sex than you.

Remember that sex is not a game in which you have to collect points every time you have sex. You must be aware that there can be some periods in your life and in the life of your partner where you won’t feel the need of sex that much. There can be different causes for this situation but that doesn’t mean that you should put pressure on each other. Sexual drive is not something constant and that desire starts to fade with the years.

After all, the frequency of sexual intercourses is usually determined by the level of some chemical processes that take part in our bodies. That’s why, as the years go by, you should pay more attention on building a solid emotional connection with your partner in order to ignite sexual desire between the two of you.

Sex And Relationship From A woman’s Perspective

Women certainly differ from men in perceiving sex and relationship. Women are emotionally connected to sex and relationship while men view sex as a physical aspect. Women can give in totally and enjoy sex only when she feels emotionally safe and secure. They do not need it as often as men do on a comparative basis. By nature, women can go for longer time without sex unlike men. This basic differentiation in their natural instincts has proven to be the main cause for many broken relationships.

However there could be various factors influencing sexual drive of women.  Every woman has her own sexual fantasies. An introverted housewife might feel less confident and comfortable in a bed room when compared to a woman who goes out. This confidence and comfort may be boosted up by allowing them to be the in charge. They should be allowed to feel that they are doing it out of their own wish without any force. A woman cannot even imagine sleeping with her man when their relationship is not in good terms. It is because sex is purely an emotional phenomenon for a woman. Thus sex is not a high priority for a woman while it is the top priority for a man. Women essentially need to be connected to their partners mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Generally women are completely occupied with their never ending house hold tasks and responsibilities round the clock. While on the other hand men look out for relaxation after a tiring day. Women might finally not find time at all or completely get exhausted by the end of the day and eventually, will not be able to think of anything else other than to sleep. As a result most of the women overlook the basic needs of their men and put their relation at risk. Men can probably help her with small house hold works in such situations so that she can make some leisure time to spend with you. Woman also should prioritize her husband’s needs over the other list of duties. One more thing to mention here is that women can get easily distracted during the course unlike men. Her to-do lists and responsibilities would be continuously running through her brain. Thus women should realize that being with her man is the utmost important responsibility to preserve her relationship.

Women might feel very tired and lose interest in sex post pregnancy. They undergo psychological, emotional, mental and physical pressure during this period. It’s natural for them to lose all the interest after going through such pain. Few women come out of this trauma quickly and naturally while few others cannot. They need lot of emotional support and love to come out of this situation and become normal. Men will have to act with patience during such times. At the end women only look for pure love and emotional bondage in a trusted relationship. For a relationship to be long lasting both the partners need to understand and support each other’s needs and abilities.
