Adult stories, an eternal topic that worries people: do I have enough sex?

A study by psychologists at York University in Canada has published rather unspectacular and therefore quite reassuring results on this topic: Once a week sex is optimal for a happy life for people in a relationship.

There is no stress according to the motto: The more, the better! Couples who sleep together more often are not happier – but those who have less sex are unhappier. The study collected data from 30,000 Americans over a period of 40 years.

The researchers point out that this result is not a blanket recommendation – and that the correlation between happiness and sex needs to be examined even more closely: What requires what? Is it lucky to sleep together once a week – or do happy couples sleep together once a week? But one thing is clear: If you meet your partner in bed every seven days and not only sleep there, you will be happy.

Singles, by the way, do not have to worry and look for new bed partners every week, there is no such direct connection between happiness and sex. Make your own adult stories.

The large-scale study by psychologists at San Diego State University has investigated the sexuality of American adults from 1989 to 2014: People have less sex, between 2010 and 2014 the frequency decreased compared to the period between 2000 and 2004. Nine times less, married couples sleep together 16 times less. On average, the American has sex 54 times a year.

Unfortunately, the study about adult stories says nothing about whether these data come only from straight couples or also from gays and lesbians or all forms of LGBT.
