Frequency of Sex Varies, Factors Influence Sexual Activity
People's sexual activity varies greatly, just like salaries.
Frequency often starts high in early marriage and decreases over time.
Different things change how often people have sex, like having children or just getting used to being together.
Men sometimes try to have sex more often to feel more masculine.
Women might have less sex after having children.
There's no 'normal' amount; everyone's different.
Understanding this can help couples have a more realistic view of their sex life and not feel pressured to fit into a certain number.
Sexual frequency varies among individuals and couples.
Initial years of marriage often see higher sexual frequency.
Frequency tends to decrease and stabilize as the marriage progresses.
Reasons for changes in frequency include boredom, health, and priorities.
Men may try to increase frequency to assert masculinity; women's frequency may decrease after having children.
