writes:Is it OK to have sex everyday? I heard, and and have been asked that question quite a few times in my professional career.Having sex everyday, like most things, has it's advantages and disadvantages.Advantage #1:-- It's a form of physical exercise. You're burning calories, reducing your cholesterol, and relieving stress/ mild depression. So from a health standpoint, having sex everyday is beneficial to your overall health.Disadvantages:* It's a form of physical exercise. There will be times where your body would need a break to recover. And depending on how hard and/or how long of a time you two are going during sex, you (or the person you're with) may feel a bit sore on certain parts of your body. It also can be draining at times... which means less productivity at work, school, or even at home.Advantage #2:-- Increased level of Oxytocin (a hormone that induces sexual desire). Sharing your body with someone may increase your level of Oxytocin. Thus bringing you closer to that person... which will increase the love, affection, and potentially the frequency of sex.Disadvantages:* It may become too routine, predictable, and uninspiring. It should be something that's looked forward to. Otherwise boredom may occur. Just make sure that if you both are having sex often, you're switching positions (or locations), spicing up the intimacy by engaging in each others fantasies, and taking a day off here or there to bring upon the feeling of wanting to be intimate.In any case, intimacy should be a healthy component of a relationship. And really, no one can determine how often is best you and your partner to have sex. That's something that two of you should decide. Have open and honest communication with your partner about your sex lives, and determine the frequency yourselves.

Due to the more recent amount of times I've been approached with that question, I figured I just write an article about it and give my perspective.
I appreciate you sharing your input from your 40+ year experience in sexual activity- and would encourage anyone else who has a comment or question to post it if you choose.
Best!

 Well, I'm uncertain that I provided much insight on the topic. Your posting seems more analytical and insightful, but in my 45-somthing years of sexual activity, I never really spent much time applying a lot of science to "getting some." I think that sexual orgasm certainly stimulates the level of dopamine in the brain, and a daily dose of that may be all good - but as we age, I think that most of us are content with an occasional boost. Bottom line: Do it all you want if you have a willing and enthusiastic partner, and if not, then masturbate as necessary. Either is a healthy thing to do.

There does not seem to be a question there, but sex everyday is a bit extreme. A few times a week is probably normal for most folks, especially in youth, and I never thought it much of any disadvantage at all. Perhaps too much time spent trying to analyze it could be disadvantageous - just do it when needed and if available.
