What do you think is a "healthy" amount of sex for married people to have?

Do you think it's normal/healthy to have less sex as time goes on?

What do you think the solution is if one partner wants sex more than the other? Do you need to have sex even if you don't want to, or, should you NEVER have sex if you don't want to?
 
1x per week is our average and its really really rare that we miss.

As with diet, what's healthy for one will kill another. :)

Being married doesn't make your spouse your sex slave. Like to think, but not positive every state has marital rape illegal yet.

I think that depends on the couple. I think twice per week is average for most long term/live in couples...but I know my friend would get it every day from her boyfriend if she could.

I think people get into routines and less sex is bound to happen. Its important to make time to date while married.

When I was married there were times I was not completely in the mood...but quickly got in the mood as we started fooling around. If its an ongoing thing it could be a problem if I always want sex and he doesn't. I would start to feel unattractive. Communication is key in this area...

That's probably less than average, but to each their own. My wife and I have had sex every single day since the day we met. Usually several times a day.

We did it 3 times this week already and it's only Sunday afternoon.

There is a mountain of data on average frequency of intercourse among happy, healthy married couples. Many factors have to be eliminated in order to find the "true" numbers. Both parties have to be healthy and have normal sexual inclinations, with no outside factors that would impede the activities.

Frequency of sexual activity generally decreases in a linear way, and is fairly consistent with the testosterone level of the husband.

Teens who are married will have sex 4-6 times per week, possibly interrupted by the wife's menstrual period. In their 20's it will become 3x/wk, dropping steadily until the 50's, when it is 1-2 times per week. After 65, a couple times a month. Beyond that, it is almost exclusively determined by health issues.

But in actual cases, it varies all over the map, and SHOULD BE DETERMINED by their joint desires and inclinations. There are couples in their 30's who only do it a couple times a year, and couples in their 60's who do it a couple times a week. Problems arise when there is a great disparity in desires, which may or may not be resolvable through counseling or pharmaceuticals. I understand there is a 'Viagra for Women" that will be hitting the market soon.

And don't forget the impact of Cialis and Viagra. They have resurrected the sex lives of many couples over 60, many of whom now are on a "schedule."

Usually this question comes up when a man or woman is concerned that s/he isn't getting his or her fair share of nookie. Counseling is the best first step, if both parties are willing.
