Sack Science: It’s All In The Numbers

By Heather SheltonBlog

Ah, the age old question: Wanna have sex tonight? First let me say that I HATE WHEN MY HUSBAND ASKS ME TO HAVE SEX (and I’m pretty sure most women can agree). It takes all the romance and spontaneity out of the experience but that’s not what this post is about.

I just read an article from my favorite website Cosmo about how often couples should be having sex. I clicked on it thinking I wasn’t living up to the standard and was fully prepared to feel like a HORRIBLE wife but then something strange happened. The results were actually in MY FAVOR! Apparently The University of Toronto surveyed 30,000 Americans over the past 40 years to see if happy couples have more or less sex than unhappy ones. I was overjoyed to learn that happy couples have sex ONCE a week. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. Once, one time, two to tango time is only one time, yes one… one…one… Hallelujah!!

The article says that more sex DID EQUAL more happiness BUT there was no real increase of connection between the couple (which if we are all honest IS the most important thing). This was true no matter the age, gender, or length of relationship. The researchers did say that they don’t want their findings to be the end all be all, but instead spark a conversation your partner. The goal is to have a connection without feeling the pressure of jumping in the sack all the time.

I can honestly say that reading the article made me feel better. Mike talks about having sex/wanting sex/needing sex all the time on the podcast but really what he needs is more of a connection, at least thats what I think. We probably need to talk about this and find out if that’s true or if he just wants a happy ending (hmmmm I smell a podcast coming on). So ladies, take heart in knowing that you are probably doing more than you think and that every now and then you should throw him a bone! #MarriageOutLOUD #sackscience
