Doctors say every three days. And the French respond a little more than 8 times a month… What is the normal rhythm for sex?
This is a frequent debate since the disclosure of all these cases of sexual harassment, and many of us ask ourselves the question of the normality of the number of reports.
Doctors’ manuals generally advise 3 sexual acts per week. In reality, we are far from the average admitted by couples in our country, which is rather, according to very official studies, between 8 and 9 per month. Same for men and women.
This figure of 3 times a week from doctors is a very macho notion that comes to us from prostate specialists, who would have found that there are fewer problems in this area with this frequency of reports. Let us add that unfortunately, the good rhythm is also often the one that we can have, when the two partners want it. Broad topic.
Sex addiction was fairly new, at least in the general public, before the scandals that hit the headlines. Still, there’s no shame in loving it! It is not because one has a very active or very hectic sex life that one suffers from a sex addiction. People who have this problem suffer from it, and very often, despite the multiplication of sexual intercourse, are never satisfied. It is this notion of suffering that makes all the difference with the simple don juan or the super-seductive.
When does a sex addiction problem exist?
Medicine does not know how to answer with precision. We cannot say that someone who wants to have sex every day, or 3 times a day, is a sex addict. It’s much more complex than that. Moreover, it often depends on the partner. If a man, who wants to make love 4 times a day, meets a woman who wants to make love 4 times a day, in general, everything goes well and nobody complains. Where it becomes problematic is when a man who craves 3 times a day is in a relationship with a woman who craves once a month.
When too much sex becomes a disease?
When you lose control of your sexual behavior. It can be with his partner, but also by multiplying the adventures at a frantic pace… There are others, too, who are addicted to solitary practices or pornography, or even to all of this at the same time… Some sometimes reach the point where they can no longer manage their professional or sentimental life.
Today, doctors speak of real addiction. It is estimated that between 3 and 6% of the population are affected by this addiction.
Not only men, because there are women addicted to sex, but it’s true that we hear a lot less about them. When we talk about sex addiction in the media, it’s often because there is a case that splashes a personality. And these big cases rarely concern women.
When a woman, for example, is an exhibitionist, it’s quite rare for a man to file a complaint for this…
