Why Weekly Sex is Important

Having sex once a week appears to have the most benefit to a relationship. That’s the finding of the study, published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, which is based on 3 previous studies with more than 30,000 participants.
The primary focus of this most recent study was to evaluate how sexual frequency affected well-being.
As you’d expect, the researchers found that sex is good and that more sex is better. The latter point had a catch, however – sex once a week appeared to have the greatest effect on intimacy between partners. Beyond that, and the positive effects of weekly sex started trailing off.
For their methodology, the researchers analyzed the results of three studies – the first of which being a survey conducted every two years between 1989 and 2012.

Sex once a week appeared to have the greatest effect on intimacy between partners. Beyond that, and the positive effects of weekly sex started trailing off.

These focused on responses from over 25,000 adults between 18 and 89. Among other things, the volunteers answered questions about sexual frequency (from none to 4+ times a week) and their perceptions of happiness.
In the second study, researchers surveyed 335 people online. Most of these subjects were heterosexual.
For the third study, the researchers analyzed the findings of yet another survey – this one a 14 year questionnaire of married heterosexual American couples.

Several patterns emerged from this compiled research. Sexually active couples were happier than folks who didn’t do it, but only to a point. The boosts to well-being from regular sexual activity levelled off at once a week. There was no harm in having sex more often than that – it just didn’t translate to greater well-being as a whole.

The researchers found no differences in the findings based on gender, age or length of relationship.

It’s worth considering the research does not prove that sexual frequency affects happiness. The study was not designed for that. Nor was any link found between weekly sex and well-being for single people.

Your bedroom should be used only for sleep and sex.

More conclusively though, the researchers found the average couple had sex once a week. This suggests it’s the average because it’s the ‘natural sweet spot’ that couples are doing subconsciously to maintain their connection. It also lends weight to obvious assumption that couples are happier when the sex is good.

Men are more likely to get happiness from the physical aspects of sex, say observers of the study in the medical community, while women are more likely to enjoy the emotional pleasure of intimacy.

Still, you’ve got to wonder why the benefits of regular sex seem to trail off after once every seven days. The answer may lie in the brain’s pleasure center. Eat an ice cream, for example, and you’ll love the first one. Have another, and your enjoyment starts to wear off.
