Hi! I was just wondering how often sex should be had for a healthy relationship? My current boyfriend and I have been together for 6 months and we do it everytime we see each other. Our relationship is NOT based on this it is just one of the perks.

I say that at the VERY minimum 3x a week is good. I'd like it more often than that and obviously I get it.

He's happy with our sex life.

One of his friends thinks 1x a week is healthy!! I think that's DEPRIVATION!!!

What's the general consensus here?

I think it should happen as much as needed for each person in the relationship... I think 3 or 4 times a week would be great. I don't get that from dh.

That all depends on the relationship and the two people involved.

For us, atleast once per day. It's weird, but the more we have sex the better we get along.

Yes! I know we (usually!) have sex more often than we did when we had little ones at home. Then, all you can do is think about the sleep you're missing out on, lol. But even when it's not as frequent (DH works rotating shifts so sometimes a few days go by before we see each other), it's still definitely better than it ever was years ago.
