Couples these days are more agnostic than ever. They have to question and compare everything they do. As funny as it sounds, a lot of couples have this specific doubt in their mind. The doubt that should they be having sex every single day? It obviously feels good. Because sex is great and everything! There are health benefits too, of course. And yet, how much sex is too much sex? Is it safe to do it every single day? What does our body say? Or even our mind? Let’s find the answers.
The Body Says AYE!

So apparently your body says, “Hell yeah! You can do it every single day”. Good news, right? Biologically speaking, sexual intercourse releases dopamine, the pleasure neurotransmitter. The pleasure neurotransmitter does not just have the ability to make you happier but also blocks out physical pains. Now, that’s pretty cool! But that’s not it. Body also says that doing it frequently boosts the production of protective antibodies. In fact, the heart inside your body says, “Please do it every day. It makes me LESS PRONE TO ATTACKS.” Wow!
The Mind Says Ummmmmmmm , No

Well, according to the mind, “I am not really sure if *daily sexual encounters* is a great idea. But then it depends on a lot of other things”. The thing here is that daily or very frequent sex might decrease the pleasure and satisfaction you get out of it. Think of it in this way- you are more attracted to your partner when you see them after some time apart. That’s it! That attraction and excitement matters a lot! Having sex every single day might rob you of that. But then as the mind quoted in the very beginning, it depends on a lot of things. Amongst those lots of things is your equation and chemistry with your partner. If you have sex every day out of an obligation, it won’t be of good to your body or your mind or even to your relationship. That’s no fun! So yeah, according to the mind, daily sex is not a great idea.
Sex is all about happiness and overall satisfaction. As long as it’s giving you that, daily or not, nothing matters. The right frequency of making love is the frequency that keeps both the partners happy and satisfied.
