Hey Dr Sue — Is It Good To Have Sex Every Day?

It can be good if you’re enjoying it!

If you’re not, then that’s a whole different story.

People will sometimes have sex every day with their partner because they feel pressured to. The idea that someone is pressuring a person into having sex is a problem for me.

Now, don’t get this confused with someone deciding to have sex with a partner when they’re kind of take it or leave it. For some people, they may just not be in the mood for sex at that moment. It’s not that they’re opposed to it, they’re just not into it. I hear this a lot in couples where their sex drives are at different levels.

And for some people, starting to engage in sex play can make them more aroused. This is especially true for those who are more responsive desire type people.

But that’s different from pressuring someone to have sex when they don’t want to.

So if you’re having sex every day because you’re being pressured into doing so, then that’s not good and I would encourage you to have a chat with your partner if you feel safe doing so.

But if you’re doing it willingly, and enjoying it, then that’s great! Sex can cause our bodies to release hormones that can help make us feel better. Orgasm can release endorphins which can help with pain…
