Q. Too much sex?
Q. I was just curious if there is such a thing as having too much sex. My husband and I have sex at least once a day, and sometimes more. We’ve been going at this pace for almost five years. Both of us thoroughly enjoy each other, but I was wondering if one of us might get worn out.
A. You two are a couple in a million. It’s fantastic that you’re both enjoying such an active sex life. Most couples find that after 6 to 12 months, things cool down and sex becomes much less frequent. Don’t get me wrong -- many couples are very happy with that situation. But others feel their sex life diminishes too much. There’s absolutely no need for you to worry that either or both of you will get burnt out. What’s important is that you feel you have the honesty with each other to let the other know if you’re not in the mood. For example, if one of you is tired or stressed out, it’s important that the other understands sex may not be on the menu that night (and is okay with that). Otherwise, go ahead and enjoy!
