Once, twice or three times per week?
Spice is what keeps a relationship alive, and this is expressed through a meeting of the bodies. But as time goes by in a relationship, these meetings often become less and less frequent, and some seek their spice elsewhere.
What’s acceptable and what’s not? We asked readers, how often should you have sex?
Ryan, 28:
Every day that God blesses you with the ability to.
Trudy, 33:
I would say once or twice a week, depending on both parties. Sex isn’t something that is going to spoil, it will always be there, so there is no need for overkill.
Abbi, 37:
My boyfriend wants it every day and there are times when I will give in to him, but there are other times when it’s just not practical with two kids around. I’m tired from caring for them during the day, so at night all I want to do is sleep.
Kirk, 41:
I don’t think the number of times you have sex is important; I think that quality sex that you have when you get it is more important. I learnt this when I met my wife. I used to love having sex two/three times a day, but it was just sex. When I met my wife and we started to do it, it was more than the physical so it meant more and I am satisfied with the bellyful she gives me.
Ray, 38:
I think that all relationships should have a healthy sex life. For some that may be every day to even once a month. Personally, I would have it once every other day and twice on weekends.
