      How often is the appropriate frequency of sexual intercourse?

      Some newlyweds have sex almost every day during their honeymoon. On the wedding night, they have sex 4-5 times in a row, and they even have sex behind closed doors during the day. However, it should be moderated and not excessive. According to some surveys, the number of men's sexual intercourse generally decreases with age. During the age of 22-25, it is three times a week; between the age of 32-35, it is twice a week; at the age of 41-45, it drops to once a week. Of course, this is just an average. Each age group varies greatly, with some having it several times a day and others as little as once a month. Therefore, whether sexual intercourse is appropriate cannot be judged solely from the frequency of sexual intercourse.

      From a purely physiological point of view, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, no matter your age, when sexual excitement occurs, as long as it is not forced and there is no uncomfortable feeling, then you can have sex without having to consider how long it has been since the last time. The so-called reluctant, female In the middle, it means to submit to the sexual demands of the man; in male The middle part is: I don't really want to have sex, but I rely on reading pornographic books or videos to "stimulate" myself, and even forcefully masturbate in order to get involved in sex. This is quite harmful. Because every time men ejaculation In the future, there will be no sexual response for a short or long period of time. It is a natural protection for men. If you force yourself to engage in sexual life at this time, it is equivalent to destroying your own refractory period protection, which is of course harmful to the body.

      Many infertile patients are often at a loss when it comes to controlling the frequency of sexual life, because some doctors allow them to have more sexual life, while other doctors restrict it. What can be done more effectively?

      The objective standard to measure whether the frequency of sexual life is appropriate is whether you are full of energy and happy in body and mind the next morning. If the following conditions occur on the second day or within a few days after sexual intercourse, and no other reasons can be found, it can be considered excessive, and you should exercise restraint and appropriately extend the interval between sexual intercourse.

      It is worth mentioning that men are more likely to indulge themselves and have sex too frequently. In the eyes of some men, the more sexual intercourse the more powerful and dignified a man is. Perhaps, they are not clearly aware of this, but they just feel that they should try their best to satisfy their wives' sexual requirements. Therefore, after they have obtained pleasure from sexual life, they will continue to strengthen their sexual consciousness, attempt to get an erection again in the shortest possible time, and use the power of will to support their exhausted body to have sexual life, which is undoubtedly harmful to the body and mind. healthy There is great harm.
