Reality star Kim Kardashian was once cautioned by her doctors to stop having too much sex following revelations about the star\u2019s daily multiple sex routine in an effort to get pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim, who was 34 at that time, had revealed in the Season 10 of their family reality show  \u201cKeeping Up With The Kardashians\u201d  that she and her husband, Kanye West, were having \u201cthe best sex of their lives\u201d and were going at it about 15 times a day in the effort to give their daughter North West a brother or sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a preview for the show, Kim confessed to having \u201cbeen having sex 15 times a day\u201d but was forced to have a rethink after doctors warned categorically that too much sex was dangerous to her health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many couples like Kim and Kanye (and not just in Hollywood) who are hooked on sex orgies and realizing almost too late that too much sex can be too much of a good thing. Sex is a normal, healthy, fun part of adult life. Sexual attraction and sexual compatibility are the basis of many successful relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex is good and glorious, but the truth is that too much sex is no just as bad as too little sex, if not worse. While science suggests sex can improve mood and decrease anxiety by reducing stress signals in the brain, excessive indulgence can interfere with the overall quality of health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, it is known that a large appetite for sex can cause a loss of appetite for other things including food. Scientists have suggested that people that spend their life on frantic love-making and engaging in marathon sex might not find happiness at the end of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEngaging in too much sex can actually cause unhappiness if findings by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University are to be taken seriously. They instructed 32 married couples to double the amount of sex they were having, while a control group of 32 other couples kept having sex at their normal frequencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When questioned afterward, the couples who had sex more weren\u2019t happier \u2013 saying that the increase in frequency led to them feeling less desire for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couples also enjoyed having sex less when they were \u2018doing it\u2019 more. \u201cThe desire to have sex decreases much more quickly than the enjoyment of sex once it\u2019s been initiated,\u201d said Tamar Krishnamurti, a scientist at the College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how much sex is ideal, and how much is too much? According to research, youngsters aged 18- 29 have sex an average of 112 times per year, while 30-39-year-olds engage in it an average of 86 times per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if that\u2019s average, what\u2019s healthy? Experts say most couples in a relationship should be having sex at least once per week. According to a therapist Dr. Barry McCarthy, sex once or twice a week is healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring the honeymoon stage, when two people can\u2019t stop thinking about each other, couples often have sex every time they\u2019re together. And when couples first move in together, the frequency of sex increases, but only temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sexual obsession or hypersexuality, compulsive sexual behavior, sex addiction, and other forms of excessive indulgence in sex could be a sign of loneliness or depression. A study published in 2013 suggests that much of the time, hypersexuality is really just \u201chigh desire\u201d and not necessarily a medical issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, if sex is being used as a substitute for dealing with a real issue, it requires therapy. \u201cWhat matters at the end of the day is the quality rather than the quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having sex daily doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s too much, so long as both partners enjoy it,\u201d  sex therapist, Dr. Ian Kerner noted. But if partners are regularly having sex<\/a> and one person feels more satisfied than the other, sex can start to feel like a chore for the less-satisfied party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really there\u2019s no right way<\/a> to go about sex, and the preferred amount of sex varies from person to person. For instance,  the average male ejaculates three to six minutes after sex<\/a> begins, so the majority of women don\u2019t feel too left out because most don\u2019t achieve orgasm through penetration alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSex is a bilateral experience,\u201d one expert mooted. \u201cBoth partners ought to be instrumental in its choreography and neither one should ever feel that they are being forced to adhere to the other\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor a fulfilling sex life that\u2019s just right, it\u2019s helpful, to be honest, and open with your partner about how frequently you\u2019d like to be intimate. And that doesn\u2019t mean it needs to be a boring discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telling your partner about your desires\u2014in specific terms\u2014can be highly erotic.\u201d One study found that couples who communicate about sex, especially during the act, are more sexually satisfied. So there should be mutual enjoyment, whether that means giving or getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, if you ever feel overwhelmed (either physically or emotionally) by the kind or amount of sex you\u2019re having, let your partner know you need a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex can be dangerous if there\u2019s any sort of pressure or force to do something with which either party isn\u2019t comfortable. Having sex on the regular is part of healthy, normal adult life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when sex gets in the way of your day-to-day, it might be time to seek professional help. Appetites for sex grow and shrink, and successful couples are compelled to manage those ups and downs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes libidos will match up, but when they don\u2019t, Kerner says everyone should take responsibility for their own sexuality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reality star Kim Kardashian was once cautioned by her doctors to stop having too much sex following revelations…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":179916,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0},"categories":[5],"tags":[83],"yoast_head":"\nWhat Too Much Sex Can Do to You?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sex is a normal, healthy, fun part of adult life.
