So my partner and I were having a conversation the other day regarding the frequency, health benefits, drawbacks of too much sex. I say too much because he and I are way above the "average" for having sex. TMI portion: we typically have sex about twice a day sometimes three depending on time, except for my time of the month.
He read an article saying that too much sex for men is bad but I can't seem to find any information. Does anyone know? The only information I can find is that it's good and will prolong our lives ;)
Wow what a wide range of responses. Hmmm.. let me address a few things. First, our attraction for one another is mutual and for the most part he's the one that initiates the sex. We do take a break if either one of us has been "rubbed raw" - duh =) We totally enjoy each other and are very open about how we feel. The question came up mainly because he gets sleepy afterwards and he was wondering what other side effects were after having sex - good and bad. Well, we were both surprised when he found some bad as we saw an article a few months ago saying that "sex prolongs life" and obviously that's all the information I found today. I wasn't asking to pressure him to have sex with me - sheesh. I don't even have to strip off my clothes and he's on me ;)
But thanks for the "input."
I would ask him if he would like to do it less frequently. Ask in such a way that it would be fine either way with you. Sometimes too much of a good thing can make it less fun and more of a demand.
I have never heard of too much sex being bad.
~Is this your partner's way of asking for a breather?
he wants a break and you turn it into a research project to see if his request holds water?
i congratulate you both on the frequency, but i think he's sending you a pretty clear message.
Maybe that was his nice way of trying to get you to "lay" off. Lol. Seriously, the only thing I can think of that might be problematic (barring STI's and injury) is if you two were trying to conceive. In that case you'd want to try to have sex during peak fertility times and not wearing him out otherwise. Happy sexing!

Here is what my search came up with and I agree that he probably needs a break from three times a day down to once a day or less for a while. Give it to him or at least talk about it OPENLY.
Are you trying to conceive? Too frequent intercourse can make it harder to get pregnant.
I have a feeling that your husband doesn't want to tell you that he needs a break. How about lowering it to once a day so that your husband doesn't feel stressed about having to perform so often...

Your husband is lucky! Mine would love to be getting it that often.
I say as long as you aren't feeling sore or exhausted, there shouldn't be any problem to getting busy as often as you do.
unless either one of you is getting sore then I would think your amount is fine. There is a reason they say "there is no such thing as too much sex!".
I think the idea of too much sex is a myth. If you both want it several times a day every day,. go for it.
