Question
Is it normal for a couple to have no sexual intercourse for a month?
Answer
Guidance: Hello! The frequency of sexual intercourse varies greatly between couples. It is mainly influenced by the age, profession, personality, mental health, and environmental conditions of both partners. The standard for determining if the frequency is appropriate is whether the couple feels rested the next day after sexual intercourse, enjoys themselves, and feels energetic. Typically, from a physiological standpoint and for the benefit of mental and physical health, a healthy young couple is advised to have sexual intercourse three times a week; a middle-aged couple in their 40s and 50s can have sex once a week without overdoing it; and healthy elderly couples should not abstain from sexual activity.
