How Much Sex is Enough Sex?


A million dollar question had been brought to my attention recently, and it was, “how much sex is too much sex?”

The answer to that is actually non existent. There truly is never too much sex to be had, however you DO need to listen to your body when it comes to treating pleasure the right way.

Some couples are able to go eight rounds in one day and feel completely refreshed the next day. Some couples have sex eight times in a year and also feel refreshed. There really is no right answer here.

The secret behind having “too much sex” is taking the right precautions for the after care. When in doubt, it’s super beneficial to get tested for any STI’s frequently. If you are seeing multiple partners, get tested every 3 to 6 months. If you are seeing one partner, a yearly visit doesn’t hurt, check out local resources and doctors in your area that supply testing for you, they most certainly all will. Of course it is also super important to let your partners know if any result came back positive on a test. Yes, even if you haven’t spoken to them in a year. When it comes to health issues you want to be straight forward with your past and present partners. Everybody is different and could be effected in various ways.


Moving on, there are signs that your body sends you when you simply just need to take a break from having that O. This could include dryness, soreness, and any aching occurring. My best advice to you is to take a relaxing shower and give your body a break. In times of need however, stimulating the clitoris is still definitely possible, unless she is feeling sore as well! This is why we listen to our body in this case.



A myth told often is your vagina being loose after a lot of sex, and when that isn’t entirely true, your clitoris does grow in size due to stimulation and pleasure. So the next person to tell you that your vagina is loose, don’t worry babe, it is completely normal.

If you want to create better friction during sex try adding your favorite lube. Creating more of a smooth glide will also prevent the vaginal walls from dryness and also aching. My point here, lube helps SO much.



Having sex 1 or 2 times a week in your relationship is considered healthy. Having sex 4 or 5 times a week is just as healthy. Listen to your body when it calls you, if you feel that tingle downstairs, fulfill it! Even if you go solo or use a toy. Reaching orgasms is a great way to relieve stress or anxiety, it could also cure that pounding headache you’ve had all day.

In the end it is always important to communicate to your partner on your ideal goals and wants when it comes to sexual play. Be sure you are on the same page, and don’t be afraid to initiate a little fun with your partner.

*Side note! Morning sex may be the best type of sex there is in my opinion. Waking up, reaching orgasm, and slaying the day? With an orgasm already under your belt?! I’ll take 3 ;)

But really! As long as you are taking the right safety precautions and using a condom, a form of birth control, or whatever suits you and your partner best, you are golden. Enjoy your sex that you are having while you’re young! You’ll look back and appreciate it yourself <3
