Experts suggest that lovers should pay attention to the frequency of sexual activity. How many times a week is sex normal? Many couples have this question: if they do too much, they are afraid that their bodies won't be able to bear it, but if they do too little, they won't be able to fill their inner desires. How many times is the frequency of sexual intercourse scientific?
1、 How many times is it scientific to have sex
How many times a week is sex normal? Many couples have this question: if they do too much, they are afraid that their bodies won't be able to bear it, but if they do too little, they won't be able to fill their inner desires. How many times is it scientifically healthy to do it?
In fact, the frequency of sexual intercourse is closely related to age and physical fitness, and cannot be generalized, because factors such as physical fitness, age, and nature of labor are different, coupled with strong and weak sexual desire, the frequency of sexual intercourse between each couple varies greatly; Even for the same couple, there are often differences due to changes in the environment, work schedules, emotions, and physical health. So, it is unscientific to mechanically set a standard that considers how many times sexual intercourse is appropriate per week.
Regarding the best time for sexual activity: There are different opinions between China, the West, and ancient and modern times. We prefer to believe that we can jump into bed and have sex at any time of the day, but the only question is whether we have the time and mood. Since ancient times, medical experts both at home and abroad have been debating "when is the most suitable time to have sex". Most of us understand the views of ancient Chinese people, such as' when lightning strikes' or 'just after eating', which are not suitable for having sex. The view of the founder of Western medicine is: "The best time to have sex is two hours after dinner, when you are ready to fall asleep, and the most inappropriate time is midnight, when digestive activity is strong." Another Italian scholar in the 16th century pointed out that the best time to have sex is in the morning, when you are not hungry or tired after eating a simple meal.
The question of the optimal number of sexual encounters and the appropriate number of sexual encounters for different ages is complex and cannot be mechanically defined. Generally, it is based on the principle that there is no obvious fatigue, mental fatigue, or low back fatigue on the second day of sexual activity, and it does not affect work and learning. The decision is mainly based on factors such as an individual's age, constitution, and personality. Generally speaking, young people before the age of 30 have 2-4 times a week, 1-2 times a week between the ages of 30-40, once a week between the ages of 40-50, 1-2 times a week between the ages of 50-60, and 1-2 times a week between the ages of 60 and above. People should pay attention not to simply pursue the frequency of sexual intercourse, but also strive to achieve perfection in every sexual intercourse. One perfect sexual intercourse is more satisfying than two imperfect sexual intercourse.
2、 There is no scientific standard for having sex several times a week
The frequency of sexual activity for each individual does not require any guidance, and should be determined based on their physical condition, emotions, love, and other factors.
If symptoms such as low back pain, lack of concentration, decreased memory, and fatigue appear on the second day after sexual activity, this is a signal of excessive sexual activity, and the frequency of sexual intercourse should be appropriately reduced. As long as these symptoms do not occur, it is normal.
Generally speaking, it is advisable for a healthy young couple to have sexual intercourse three times a week; A middle-aged couple who have sex 1-2 times a week is not considered excessive; Middle aged couples aged 40 to 50 can arrange a one-time life every week; A healthy elderly couple should not abstain from sexual activity.
3、 High frequency of sexual activity does not necessarily mean high quality of sexual activity
Men often have a misconception that the more they have sex, the more they can prove their "masculinity" and the more satisfied their wives are. In fact, in the eyes of women, sex is the sublimation of emotions when they are just right, and there is no need to force it to happen every day.
In addition, men don't have to worry about losing face if they ejaculate too early during sexual intercourse, as women's pleasure does not entirely depend on the length of time. More often than not, men's mastery of strength and skills is more important than time. In other words, women prioritize quality over weight.
This is the 'standard sexual frequency' that many people adhere to, but experts say it is not actually scientific. The truly scientific frequency of sexual activity is determined based on physical needs and the emotions of both parties. After living together for a long time, the frequency of sexual activity can form a habit that tends to become more formal than substantial. At this point, couples should learn to break free from conventions, such as changing fixed times and locations. If both people accept this frequency, then there is no need to worry too much. American experts say that for some couples' sexual lives, quality outweighs quantity. Especially after the age of 40, a high-quality sexual experience is better than daily passion. Learning new things together, exploring together, and other activities can bring marital relationships closer, increase intimacy, and naturally facilitate sexual intercourse.
4、 Eighty year olds also have sexual desire
Sexual ability decreases with age, which is a natural law. Our country's "Medical Heart Formula" states: Those who use the poison every twenty years can apply it again, and the winner can apply it once a day; Those who are thirty years old can do it once a day, while those who are inferior can do it twice a day; For those who are at their forties, they will be given every three days, and for those who are at their forties, they will be given every four days; For those who are at their peak, they will be given once every five days, and for those who are at their peak, they will be given once every ten days; For those who are at their 60th, they will be given once every 10 days, and for those who are at their 60th, they will be given once every 20 days; Those who are seventy strong can be given one dose in thirty days, while those who are weak do not have diarrhea. In foreign countries, between the ages of 60 and 69, they still have sex every 10 days; Between the ages of 70 and 79, it takes another 20 days to have sex; Even if you are over 80 years old, you still have the desire to do it once a month.
It should be noted that marriage relationships between elderly and young people are based on two aspects: love and sexual desire, but with different proportions. Due to the decline of sexual desire in elderly people with decreased sexual function, love should become more intense. From the perspective of most people, partners who live a joyful life in their later years have particularly delicate and profound love, which is manifested in their ability to take care of each other in life, show empathy for each other, and provide psychological comfort to each other. In old age, people should participate in more cultural and sports activities in their later years (such as fishing, spring outings, swimming, playing chess, playing poker, learning to dance, etc.). This not only benefits the body and mind, but also enhances collaboration. More importantly, it adds content to their later love life, which can make up for the shortcomings caused by decreased sexual function.
People with such situations should also pay special attention to prolonging the interval between sexual activities and not indulge in their own desires, as elderly people need to have a good recovery of their nervous, cardiovascular, and muscular systems before engaging in every desired sexual activity. Sexual activity itself requires a certain amount of physical strength and endurance. Therefore, the more restrained and attentive you are to interval rest and nutrition, the more satisfied your sexual life will be. As the saying goes, 'Farewell is better than newlywed', which is also a testament to this issue. On the contrary, if one indulges in kidney damage, it will affect sexual function. Here, it is important to point out that the elderly with brain trauma, diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis and other diseases should not have too frequent and intense human activities, especially the elderly with stroke after rehabilitation, otherwise it is likely to induce another stroke; Especially when it comes to abstaining from indulging in sexual activities after drinking alcohol, some people believe that this can help the weak and enhance the mood. However, jokes cannot last long and can harm one's health and prolong one's life.
