Let’s start here: “The Three Things You Can’t Talk About” in most first-world, middle-class-ish existences are sex (which creates you), money (which drives a lot of people), and failure (which happens to everyone almost hourly, but no one seems to ever want to really talk about).
This post is about №1: sex.
If you Google virtually any variation of “how many times a week should couples have sex” (change the wording around if you want), there’s about 20.3 million results each time — and all are articles trying to scientifically prove that some number is better/worse than some other number.
Here’s the actual truth: it’s completely dependent on situation, which involves:
- Age
- Number of kids
- Job responsibilities
- General libido of both people
- Health/wellness
- Importance of sex to the people involved
- General well-being of the relationship
In the interest of talking about sex and failure at the same time (but not money, baby!), I’ve been married two years or so … I’ve hit a few 0x weeks (haven’t we all?) and I’ve probably hit a few double-digitX weeks. Life. It happens.
