Question

How can middle-aged individuals between the ages of 37-40 maintain a healthy sexual frequency? What are the normal sexual frequencies for men and women?

Answer

According to modern sexual medicine standards, there are several indicators to determine whether the frequency of sexual activity is normal:

  1. Sexual desire is naturally aroused and strong enough to engage in sexual intercourse. Any forced or indifferent sexual encounters may be excessive.
  2. The sexual act should be naturally completed without discomfort. As long as it does not affect sleep and overall physical and mental state, it is considered normal.
  3. Not feeling tired the next day after sexual activity, feeling energetic, and not affecting daily life and work are signs of normalcy. If fatigue, lack of energy, or impact on life and work occur, it may indicate an excessive frequency of sexual activity, requiring self-regulation. For adults aged 37-40, it is recommended that the number of sexual encounters per week not exceed two times. Additionally, the importance of foreplay should not be overlooked, as it can enhance the quality of sex, allowing partners to enjoy the beauty of love making, thereby increasing both the frequency and quality of sexual activity. Methods such as kissing, touching, and affection can gradually increase the partner’s sexual desire, leading to harmonious sexual experiences for both.
