What frequency of sexual activity is healthiest for married couples? Sexual activity plays a significant role in a woman's physical and mental health, but most women are unclear about this. So, what is the best frequency of sexual activity after marriage?
What is the optimal frequency of sexual activity? Canadian researchers have found the answer: no more, no less, once a week.
Studies have found that couples who have sex once a week have the happiest relationships and the best physical health. If they don't have sex once a week, their sense of happiness decreases; but even if they have sex more often than once a week, it doesn't increase their satisfaction.
Dr. Amy Muse, the study’s lead author and a professor at Mississauga University in Toronto, points out that once a week is a common frequency for many committed couples, and there is a scientific basis for this: once a week is enough to maintain a close emotional relationship.
Muse points out that this study shows that busy modern people don't need to have sex for the sake of sex. Having sex a few more times a week doesn't have much impact on relationships; other issues are more important.
Men, in particular, need to change two major misconceptions: size and duration of intercourse.
A recent survey of 1,000 married women revealed that none of the women who participated in the vote mentioned penile size or duration of intercourse. They were more concerned with the following questions:
1. More communication
62% of the women surveyed indicated that better communication is equally important for improving sexual satisfaction and marital health.
Registered marriage therapist Musami Goss suggests that men can talk about sex and love with their female partners in relaxed settings, such as during walks or after meals, and tell her "I'm willing to do anything for you".
Better communication means a better understanding of your partner's physical, health, and mental state, which naturally leads to a more harmonious relationship.
2. Better foreplay
58% of the women surveyed said they hoped men would put more effort into foreplay. This includes kissing, touching, and even "biting," but is not limited to these sexual acts.
Throughout the day, men can engage in various forms of "foreplay," such as showing affection, messaging her on WeChat, and praising her. These actions are all very helpful in ultimately leading women to a state of perfect harmony in their lives.
