161. Breaking Taboos: Exploring Frequency of Sex in Long-Term Relationships

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, explores a question that frequently murmurs in the back of many couples' minds: "How often should we be having sex? What’s normal?" With an enlightening approach, Alexandra delves into the complexities underneath this question, offering both men and women advice on how to find the answer that best suits their unique relationship, and desires. She encourages listeners to shift their focus from quantity to quality, emphasizing the importance of creating sexual experiences that both partners look forward to.

Also in this episode:

• The "normal" frequency of sex in a marriage is subjective and should be based on mutual satisfaction, not societal expectations.

• Quality of sexual experiences is far more important than frequency although they are deeply interconnected.

• Couples with differing sexual desires should work together to create gratifying experiences, seeking external guidance as needed.
