JAKARTA - Having sex is an important part of a married couple's relationship. But the question arises, how many times should a husband and wife ideally make love? Is having sex every day dangerous?
The answer is that ideal frequency depends on the physical, emotional, and agreement of each partner. However, too much sex can have a negative impact, both physically and psychologically.
There is no definite number that determines how many times sex is considered mostly. As long as activities are carried out comfortably and consensually, high frequency is not automatically dangerous. However, if there is pain, irritation, or discomfort, it can be a signal for the body to rest.
"There is no 'too much' amount of sex as long as it doesn't cause pain, stress, or daily activity," says Dr. Logan Levkoff, sexologist and reproductive health educator, quoted from the old Health.
If you or your partner start experiencing the following things, it could be that this frequency sign needs to be reduced temporarily:
- Pain during or after intercourse
- Irritation, swelling, or redness in the genitals
- Drought in the vagina or abrasions on the penis
- Excessive physical fatigue
- Emotional tension or pressure in relationships
You have a way of telling when to stop. If you start to feel physically or emotionally uncomfortable, don't ignore it, said Dr.ction Ross, an Obstetrician and Gynecology (OBGYN) specialist.
Health Risks Due To Sex Too Often
1. Irritation and Injury in Genital Organs
Repeated strains without sufficient lubrication can cause irritation, redness, and even minor wounds in the vaginal or penis area.
2. Kemiluh Channel Infection (ISK)
Sex too often can increase the risk of bacteria entering the uretra, which can lead to ISK, especially in women.
"Positive post-sexualISK is common, and it happens more often if a person has intense or repeatedly sex in a short time," said Dr. Jennifer Landa, a specialist in hormones and sexual health.
3. Municipal and Bacterial Infections
The vaginal natural flora imbalance due to high sex frequencies can trigger fungal or bacterial infections.
4. Risk of IMS Transmission
Sexual relations that are too frequent without protection can also increase the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted infections (IMS), such as HPV, klamia, and herpes.
HPV (human papillomavirus) is a very common IMS and can increase the risk of several types of cancer, such as cervical cancer, anus, and penis. Research shows that a high number of sexual partners can increase the chances of contracting HPV.

Those who have sex more than 10 couples throughout their lives have a higher risk of cancer than those who only have one or none at all. wrote Anglia Ruskin University's study in 2020.
Taking a break from sexual activity is not taboo. In fact, it is a form of appreciation for your body and relationship. If you experience constant pain, symptoms of infection, emotional reluctance, and conflict due to differences in libido.
So it's time to stop for a moment and talk about it with your partner. Even if necessary, consult with medical personnel or marriage counselors.
