benefits of daily sex?

what are the health and psychological benefits of this? Dont have sex nearly as much as dh or I would like mainly out of pure laziness so wondered if by trying this it will get past that. Help increase happy hormones as well as the obvious excercise side of things. Anyone ever tried?

Are you a teenage male? Can't imagine anything worse!

BertieBowtiesAreCool · 01/01/2014 13:11

I don't think there are any. Just have it as much as you want surely? If there are barriers in your way then look at those as separate issues but I cannot imagine that sex you're not really into would have any kind of benefits at all.

Daily sex? yawn! Regular sex = good, its feast or famine in this house - i feel happier when we are having sex, closer to DP and more relaxed. So not daily sex - that = pressure. But more sex, more GOOD sex - go for it :) Not sure about the exercise, i tend to lay there and think of England/the washing up/sheduling DP's workload :)

that the thing when we do I am really into it, but I or dh are always tired and I think I have gotten lazy. dingle defrinatly not a teenage boy, nearly 40 year old women who is starting to feel her age more than I would like.

I don't know.
Studies on male animals usually show that the more sex males have, the less they live. Not sure what happens to women. :)

Think daily sex could possibly end up feeling like a chore.

Regular spontaneous sex is better surely?

Lweji · 01/01/2014 14:08

I remember an article about a couple who had decided to have sex daily for a year.
He was enthusiastic at the beginning, but eventually it did feel a bit like a chore and he was the one who asked for a day rest. :)
I can't remember if they reported any particular benefits.

Not if you're going to treat it as a 30 minute work-out.... sounds deathly Hmm If you're always tired, address that instead. More sleep, better diet, light exercise (vertical), better work/life balance, hobbies/interests (shared and individual). Even consider seeing a GP because chronic fatigue can have medical roots.

Offred · 01/01/2014 14:17

There's a world of difference IMHO between having sex daily because you want to and it is happening naturally and having enforced daily sex for some imagined health benefit. I can't imagine how forcing/scheduling the sex would help anyone with anything tbh.

Sore fanjo????? :-D

Timeforabiscuit · 01/01/2014 14:33

daily sex no, but daily displays of affection and appreciation absolutely!

blueshoes · 01/01/2014 14:41

Daily sex sounds like ttc sex with no break. Yawn.

BelaLugosisShed · 01/01/2014 15:04

Daily sex is lovely when you're on a lazy holiday somewhere hot, in fact twice a day isn't uncommon for us then, however it would definitely become mundane all the time.
Quality, not quantity is best.
Cuddles and gropage however, is a daily neccesity.

DorothyGherkins · 01/01/2014 15:07

Due to lack of partner, no sex ever now. Cant say I feel any different at all!

giggles1970 · 01/01/2014 15:07

Have to agree. Reg yes, daily no. U can get too much of a good thing ;-)

Mrswellyboot · 01/01/2014 15:10

We did this when ttc, even dh was like ... I need sleep!! Don't think it's better. I would say twice a week is ideal

But we got the bpf so was worth the work Grin

wontletmesignin · 01/01/2014 15:30

With my ex it was sex everyday. It turned into a routine for him, and a nightmare for me.
Although i have a high sex drive. He was the nost boring sexual partner

Everyday for 3 years!
It was the same position and basically just to get him off. I just lay there, wishing i was asleep instead.

A few times a week would be best i think
