Too much or too little sexual activity is not good. For example, too frequent sexual activity can cause erectile dysfunction. So, how many times a week is the best for sexual activity?
Many people believe that everything has its own rhythm, including sex. However, this is not the case. There is no set number of times for sex, as it is closely related to external factors, the relationship between partners, and individual physical conditions. Therefore, the specific number of times per week depends on the specific circumstances.
Of course, the statement about no limit on the number of times is relative. Men shouldn't think that having no limit means engaging in sexual activity day and night. Some newlyweds have sex almost every day during their honeymoon, with 4-5 times on their wedding night, and even during the day behind closed doors. However, this should be moderate and not excessive. Some studies show that the frequency of male sexual activity generally decreases with age: 3 times a week for men aged 22-25; 2 times a week for men aged 32-35; and once a week for men aged 41-45.
The human body has regulatory and protective capabilities. There is no hard and fast rule regarding the number of times sexual activity can occur. Physiologically speaking, regardless of gender or age, as long as sexual arousal is not forced and there are no uncomfortable sensations, sexual activity is permissible. There's no need to consider how much time has passed since the last encounter. After each sexual encounter, men will experience a refractory period of inactivity, which is a natural protective mechanism. Forcing oneself to engage in sexual activity during this time artificially disrupts this protective period, which is harmful to the body.
Therefore, to know if your sexual frequency is appropriate, simply observe your physical condition after sex, and whether you feel refreshed and happy the next morning. If the following symptoms occur on the second or several days after intercourse, and no other cause can be found, it can be considered excessive, and you should exercise restraint and appropriately extend the interval between sexual activities.
Generally speaking, there aren't many restrictions on the frequency of sexual intercourse. As long as there are no obvious adverse reactions, it's not considered excessive. Newlyweds, for example, may have more frequent intercourse. Men can try to reduce the frequency, pay attention to keeping warm, and strengthen their nutrition, perhaps by eating kidney-tonifying foods. Of course, we still recommend reducing the frequency of intercourse as much as possible without affecting normal marital sexual life.
