How Much Sex Is Too Much?

The answer is not what you think

Do you like to get freaky under the sheets? — Or as some boring people would say, do you like to have sex?

Do you sometimes wonder how your sex life compares with other people’s sex lives?

Do you care to know what amount of sex per week is considered unhealthy?

If your answer to all the questions above is yes then you’ve come to the right place, this article is for you.

As adults (I’m assuming you are above 18, please tell me I’m right), we collectively have a lot of sex, but nobody wants to talk about it.

Oh, you thought you were the only one getting freaky under the sheets?

According to this 2017 research, the average person has sex about 54 times per year. This report breaks it down further. On average, this is how much people have sex depending on their age;

18 to 29-year-olds — 2 times per week

30 to 39-year-olds — 1.6 times per week (almost twice per week)

40 to 49-year-olds — 1.3 times per week (barely above once/week)

So now that we have boring old stats out of the way, how do you compare with your age group?

Are you above average? Below average? Way above average?

No matter how many times you have sex per week, what number is too much? Where do you cross the line?

If you like to get freaky often, and you are wondering if it’s getting a little too much, relax, you are in safe company. Psychologists and sex experts say that there is no limit to the amount of sex you can have.

“Sex is like money. Only too much is enough” — John Updike

People are different and some have higher sex drives than others. But as long as you are comfortable, enjoy it, and don’t experience any negative reactions to it, you can have sex as often and as long as you want.

But;

As you go on your romp or wonder if you have sex too many times than usual, ask yourself the following questions;

1. Does your sex life interfere with your normal life? — For example, is it affecting your work or family life?

2. Is my sex life controllable? Can I manage my sexual urges?

3. Am I having any physical side effects from sex?

4. Am I ashamed of my sex life or am I ashamed of being found out?

If your answer to any of these questions is a yes, then it’ll be a good idea to seek professional help.
