Here is what they say, as well as some additional tips to help you get your sex life on track! There is some question among sex therapists about what the true average is for couples in committed relationships. The answers can range from once a week to once a month! When couples stop having sex, their relationships become vulnerable to anger, detachment, infidelity and, ultimately, divorce. However, another study, printed in The University of Chicago Press about 10 years ago, stated that married couples are having sex about seven times a month, which is a little less than twice a week. And in a third study, it was reported that out of the 16, adults interviewed, the older participants were having sex about 2 to 3 times per month, while younger participants said they were having sex about once a week. Most sex therapists agree that having sex less than 10 times a year is reason enough to label your marriage a sexless one.
