CibbuanoHow Much Sex is Enough

According to Dr. Oz, one of Oprah’s experts, 200 times a year or more. This ensures that you are sexually healthy and your body is functioning, as it should. Well when I heard the numbers I had to get my calculator out and break that down to a monthly amount. I t works out to be about 16 times a month. If you subtract the time a woman is unavailable due to her menses that is about 5 times a week. Well needless to say the men in the audience were a’hootin’ and a’hollerin’ and a’cheerin’ and the women were just floored. Shocked. Flabbergasted. Dumbstruck. You get the picture. Most women thought that number was a little high. They thought 2 to 3 times a week at the most was sufficient.
Obviously what is considered the ideal healthy norm is not what we are actually doing. So why is there a big discrepancy between the ideal and us?
For one, men and women deal with life and it’s stresses in a different way. Emotions like anger, jealousy and hurt can easily affect a woman’s libido, whereas a man sexual desire is rarely hampered by these states. Generally women need everything to be “just right” for her to feel sexually open, whereas a man can use sex to make everything “alright”
After hearing this information I decided to do a little research of my own by polling my friends and family. It seems that for women in a happy relationship the 200 times a year seemed just right. For the women in unhappy or stagnant relationships that number was very high. I have not heard from happily married women with children. My cousin believes that with children in the mix that number will be definitely too high. I am not so sure. I think that if you are in a relationship that fulfills you and your mate keeps you interested and excited then no matter how stressed or busy you are it will be a natural thing to turn to each other for physical intimacy. What do you say? 200 times a year, is that about right?
