How often do you have sex with your spouse?
Researchers from the University of Toronto Missisauga have revealed how often you should have sex with your spouse.
In terms of being happy, you really only need to have sex once a week – any more than that is just showing off, Metro reports.
Based on data from 25,510 Americans aged 18 to 89, the researchers found that having sex around once a week is the sweet spot for happiness.
“I do think couples can end up feeling pressure to try to engage in sex as frequently as possible,” Amy Muise of the University of Toronto Mississauga said.
“Once a week is a more realistic goal to set than thinking you have to have sex everyday and that feels overwhelming and you avoid it.”
“This showed a linear association between sex and happiness up to a frequency of once a week, but at higher frequencies there is no longer an association.”
“Therefore it is not necessary, on average, for couples to aim to engage in sex as frequently as possible.”
