Average sex in a week

A new study highlighted by The Sun , shows the amount of sex you should be having, according to your age. It turns out it's the millennials, people who entered young adulthood around the year , that have the most sex. The study suggests that people between the age of 18 and 29 should be having sex times a year, which works out as twice a week on average. Sex comes with a number of health benefits such as lowering blood pressure, easing stress and anxiety and helping to get to sleep. When it comes to the next age bracket, 30 - 39, people should have sex 86 times per year, which works out at 1.

Here is what they say, as well as some additional tips to help you get your sex life on track! There is some question among sex therapists about what the true average is for couples in committed relationships. The answers can range from once a week to once a month! When couples stop having sex, their relationships become vulnerable to anger, detachment, infidelity and, ultimately, divorce. However, another study, printed in The University of Chicago Press about 10 years ago, stated that married couples are having sex about seven times a month, which is a little less than twice a week.

That said, a study that appeared in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that the average adult currently enjoys sex 54 times a year, which equates to about once a week. This is less sex, by about nine per year, compared to a similar study done in the s. Interestingly, though, another study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science — which surveyed over 30, Americans over 40 years for three different projects — discovered that a once weekly frequency was the Goldilocks standard for happiness. Sexual intimacy is vital in any relationship, and not just for the sensual pleasure of it all.

February 25, Australians report having sex once or twice a week, on average. For Brits, it's less than once a week , while Americans report having sex two to three times a week. We can't know for sure how often individuals actually have sex. Some people may incorrectly report their sexual frequency , either by mistake or on purpose.
