It is ok to have sex every day. Whether you want to have sex every day, multiple times daily, or not at all is completely normal. There is no specific “right” amount of sex that is “normal” because everyone’s sexuality is different. It’s what is ok for you and your partner.
The amount of sex people have can also change depending on whether they are in a relationship, an individual’s sex drive, the amount of stress they experience, illness, mood changes, or other life changes.
The only time having sex every day would not be ok is if your partner does not want to have sex or if having sex frequently interferes with daily activities such as work, school, or parenting.
On average, Americans in their 20s have sex an average of about 80 times per year, while adults in their 60s have sex about 20 times per year.
