You need to be able to have an open discussion about sex to ensure you are both satisfied with your sex life, if you’ve talked about it but you’re still wondering then read on.
They say “No”
Be prepared, it is possible your partner will say they would love to be having more sex with you. Everyone has a right to sexual fulfillment, and one of the keys to long-term relationships is figuring out how to keep your sex life interesting. You can’t do that without talking about it and how much you both would like to be having it. Maybe they just want a few quickies thrown in here and there, or maybe they need longer sex sessions. Be ready to listen and adjust to meet both of your needs.
They say “Yes”
It doesn’t matter if you are having sex every other day, once a week, or once a month, if you’re both happy, then you’re good. There is no one size fits all right amount of sex to be having. Once a week is totally normal, especially if you’ve been married for years and or both working full-time. Forget anyone else’s opinion about what makes a sex life healthy. It’s YOUR relationship and therefore, it’s your business.
If you are in a long-term relationship, you have a mutual agreement with your partner to satisfy their needs. This includes sex. So, check in with them, it doesn’t have to be often but if you sex life feels stagnant and its been over a year ask them if they are still happy or if there is anything they would like to change.
