JAKARTA - Most people think that regular intercourse will guarantee you have a healthy sex life. Yet the reality is not so. Therefore, you need to recognize the following signs of healthy sex.

Feel good about your body

Based on a University of Texas study in women aged 18-49 years who gave high scores on their bodies had satisfaction in their sexual life. Not caring about the size of the thigh or stomach will actually make sexual activities more enjoyable and can even lead to orgasm. Exercising to maintain a healthy body (not just to lose weight) can increase self-confidence in the body.

Schedule it sometimes

Many people think that sexual intercourse should be done spontaneously. In fact, you can make a special schedule for this 'bed' affair. This will provide a sense of calm and will certainly increase your sex drive and your partner.

You and your partner are not afraid to ask for what they want

According to certified sex therapist Aline Zoldbrod, PhD, quoted from Sexsmart, good sex is how you find the perfect 'recipe'. For that, try to convey what you both want directly, don't expect your partner to read your mind and know what you want, or vice versa.

You don't count it

You don't focus on the number of times you and your partner have sex. According to a study published in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, overly forcing sex makes couples vulnerable to being dissatisfied or unhappy. Take a romantic dinner out or go somewhere new that opens up natural opportunities for sex and may make your partner enjoy it more.

You and your partner love it

No matter how often you and your partner have sex, both of you are always happy. Even though it took a long time to reach orgasm, the two of you still enjoyed intimate time together.
