In Psychiatry the amount of sex is only an issue if:\n\na) it interferes with your daily living,\nb) it's very promiscuous, or\nc) it's causing a health problem  \n\nIn other words, if you're having sex with a stable partner(s) and you're not having this sex out of compulsion and it's not causing you pain, bleeding, strong irritation, lacerations, etc.... and YOU AND YOUR COUPLE ARE HAPPY... then you're not having too much sex. \n\nHow do you know if it's a compulsion?  \n\na) If you're in your job and all you can think about is having sex (this has happened to all of us 1 or 2 times, especially in a new relationship) then you may be having a compulsion.  Also if...\nb) the idea of sex is more important than the actual act of sex\nc) every time you feel very anxious, like you NEED to have it or you're going to collapse... and when it's over you feel very relieved or guilty... and then the cycle starts all over.\n\nIf you're asking, though, it's pretty safe to assume it's healthy.\n\nHope this helps, \n\nGood luck!

Funny you should ask..lol...that's an issue I'm trying to work out with my boyfriend right now.  He says I want it too much (I want it every day!)  When he makes jokes that my sex drive is too high, it kind of makes me feel bad, like he doesn't want to have sex with me as much as I want to with him.  Some days I want it two or three times, but he says he's tired :(  We're both the same age, so I don't know what the problem is!

I've been married 6 years and we have sex daily.  It's different for everybody and it really depends on things like your individual sex drives, your energy level, the level of importance you put on sex, your sexual communication, etc.  If you're having an amount of sex that is satisfactory to both of you, then don't worry about what is "normal" and just go with what feels right for the two of you.  If, however, the frequency with which you have sex is not satisfactory to one or the other of you, talk about it.  Find out what the problem is.  Don't just assume that the sex goes away once you get married.  We made that mistake once and we won't make it again.  Best of luck to you and your spouse!

My girl is the same way and I am 23. It's sorta weird for me not to be in control of when we have sex. I believe if she didn't want to have sex so much then I would. Its a weird situation but I think its true.

There is no standard number. Anybody gets it when is horny and feel the need to do it.\nBesides it’s tightly correlated with the sexuality and the age. Younger guys feel that need more than men with some boys playing more times in a day and some other only playing some times in a week. Then we have to consider if there is a partner or if we are even married.\nIn that case, of course, should be no need to have recourse to it.

There is no definite answer to that question. You have to decide what it should be. What are you comfortable with? Some men masturbate as little as 0 times per week and others may do it more than 20 times in a week. Just don't waste too much time masturbating! There is more to life than sexual gratification. \nHow much masturbation is too much?\nWe must first ask: "What should I be doing instead of masturbating?"\nand "What can I be doing instead of masturbating?" \n\nMasturbation is only an a serious problem if it is: \n\n(A) getting in the way of your quality of life or your other daily activities such as work, school, hobbies, or friendships and \n(B) it is so frequent that it is bothersome (as mentioned above) and you have already tried your best to cut down but can't. \n\nEven for those that masturbate a lot, they are usually able to quit long enough to carry out everything else they need to get done in their lives. Just because you masturbate every day, or more than once a day, does not necessarily mean that you are an addict. If your masturbation time is just time that would normally be wasted for things like watching TV, sitting around doing nothing, watching cars go by, or trying to fall asleep, then you probably have nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if you are isolating yourself from everyone or failing to meet your daily responsibilities, then you may want to try to cut down. \n\nIt should be said that it is normal for everyone to seek some sort of sexual relationship in their adult years. Another sign of masturbating too much is no desire to have sexual contact with a partner. Many people out there have difficulty finding a partner, but after teenage years, it is a healthy goal. \n\nYoung men are concerned about how much they masturbate more than any other sexuality issue (besides penis size). How much is too much? -- It's a very difficult question to answer because a person could masturbate to orgasm multiple times per day but spend less than thirty minutes doing it. However, they could masturbate for three hours in a row and only have one orgasm. Clearly, three hours per day is too much, but thirty minutes per day is not always a problem. Usually, people measure their masturbation by the number of orgasms they have in a day, week, or month. We want to make the point that the overall amount of time spent masturbating should be the greater factor in deciding if you masturbate too much. \n\nSome people ask how they can quit masturbation entirely. This is somewhat extreme and also rather unlikely for the average person. It is true that even married people masturbate, but most still have a fulfilling sexual relationship with their partner. However, there is the case of the "hopeless addict" who has tried absolutely everything to cut down and cannot get on with his/her life. This page is not aimed at such an individual. In these cases, we recommend organizations such as Sexaholics Anonymous to assist. \n\nIt is true that teenagers might masturbate more than adults for a variety of reasons:\n(A) Teenagers may not yet be able to produce a satisfying orgasm due to lack of experience and lack of knowledge about sensations on his/her own body. The body may continue to demand that the need be met. Experimentation on the body can require time. \n(B) There is the "novelty" of the new sensation. This could last a few years. \n(C) Hormone levels are higher to produce bodily development. \n(D) Visual stimulation through fashion, media, and trends are typically aimed at "turning on" younger people. \n(E) Sexual curiosity \n(F) Being in very close visual proximity to large numbers of other teens in school. \n\nIt is also true that young children often begin masturbation before puberty. In fact, most of us even do it as toddlers. It is a normal stage of development. A child should be taught not to touch themselves in a sexual way in public. Privacy should be enc

Me nor my husband never go more than 3days w/out having sex. So on a weekly average let's say 2 or 3, But on a good week honey we can go evey night and maybe twice a night on some night's. We have a good sex life and that's great, exp. when ur married

If you're with someone who thinks its too much leave them. I myself like to have it even more than you seem to. If i had my way, i'd never stop.\n\nThere's nothing wrong with a highly charged sex life... go with it, enjoy it while you can!!

The fast answer- when you are raw, red, and painful, it's too much. The experienced answer- depends on age. When you have raging hormones like peaking teenage or 20s boys, it seems you can never get enough. Women peak in their 30s. Married couples without gray hair, 2-3 times a week. Now the serious answer- what ever suits the two of you with no pushing the other. New boyfriend? WEAR PROTECTION, THAT MEANS A LATEX CONDOM EVERY TIME!!! Remember...whenever you have sex with someone, you are having sex with everyone else that person has ever had sex with. Loving boyfriends aren't always totally honest. Who wants to ruin a good thing. Strong hormones can make boys do stupid things, I KNOW! All it takes is one mistake to ruin your life forever, and that's a long time. Please be careful.

28 is average, so 38 sounds normal.  They are regular!  Don't worry about it, girl!  :)

I met my hubby when he was 35 and I was 23.We both had children from previous relationships. Now we have 3 kids between us and the sex has never been better...he turns 42 this year and I just tuned 30...I feel that men get better with age,like a fine wine. And the more sex they have when young...the more likely they want it and get it when they are older.

It's completely normal for relationships and individual people to go through highs and lows of lust.  Think about things that make you feel really sexy that you wouldn't normally equate with sex, and translate it for the bedroom.  If a new outfit is exciting, get some funky new undies to show off too.  If you like to exercise and enjoy your body, look up some new positions.  If you like to travel and see new sights, get down and dirty in anyplace other than your bedroom.  And don't feel quilty!  Guys' sex drives peak at about age 18-25, but ours peaks somewhere between age 30-40.  Plus, you feel like sex after your period becuase that's just before you ovulate, which is when you are most fertile and receptive.  Work with that.  But don't worry too much about it.  It's totally normal.

Your husband is lucky for starters, but there are no normal amounts of sex. Sex is like a good marrage, First you have to be honest, open, try everything and you both have to work at it.Try diffrent things eg dress up, play games, ask him what he likes, give and take, but the most important thing is just to have fun.

Excellent question. And to all the doubting ladies in the answers above, this husband gets his wife surprise flowers. Splits the chores at least 50-50 (ha - she doesn't do any yardwork, but I do about a fourth of the laundry, more than half the cooking, and at least half the cleaning). I tell her how beautiful and sexy she is (and she *is*!) Spend time talking to her (when our 3 kids aren't in the way!) and basically everything everyone says I should be doing. We've talked about our sexual desires and it's quite clear that my sexual satisfaction is last on her list of priorities. What she considers good sex is merely adequate "duty" sex to me. I won't complain too much, but it seems like I'm "owed" more than 10 minutes of sex once a week... Not contemplating an affair, but can totally understand where this guy's question is coming from.

There is no real way to quantify "too much sex."  It is different for every person.  No amount of sex will make you weak...  other than directly after orgasm.  Too much sex is when it begins to interfere with other aspects of your life.  Too much is when you begin lying, cheating, or disrespecting yourself and others to obtain sex.  If people are only a places to put your penis instead of other humans with personality, promise, hopes and dreams, you are probably having too much sex.
