You Asked:

Is there such a thing as having too much sex? My husband and I have sex at least once a day and sometimes more. We’ve been going at this pace for almost five years.

Dr. Pam Answers:

You two are a couple in a million. It’s fantastic that you’re both enjoying such an active sex life. Most couples find that after 6 to 12 months, things cool down, and sex becomes much less frequent. Don’t get me wrong -- many couples are very happy with that situation. But others feel their sex life diminishes too much. There’s absolutely no need for you to worry that either or both of you will get burnt out. What’s important is that you feel you can be honest with each other and let the other know if you’re not in the mood. For example, if one of you is tired or stressed out, it’s important that the other understands sex may not be on the menu that night (and is okay with that). Otherwise, go ahead and enjoy!

Too much sex? That depends on the couple. If you're having sex daily (or more often), then I'm guessing you probably a) are still fairly newly married, b) have no children, or c) all of the above. Dr. Pam is right on the money with her adivce; enjoy it while it lasts, but don't worry about burn out. In fact, remember that value is often a function of how rare a thing is. I miss daily sex, to be sure--it's pretty much impossible with active children in the house--but the times my wife and I do manage to get some in have become much sweeter and more worthwhile than those escapades in the early days of our marriage. Sex can be a good barometer of your marital happiness (but it's not the only one); and if the two of you love each other more than you love yourselves, you'll find that sex matures with time. For me, after just over seven years of marriage, sex has become a culminating expression of "I love you," as opposed to the exploratory, "naughty" teenage-esque fling that it was when we were first married. Focus more on being friends, and on loving and serving one another, and your sex life will take care of itself without undue worry on the part of either spouse. And yes, you *will* want to tell your husband "no" from time to time. How he deals with that will show how much he cares for you. Prepare him early for periods of "drought." ;)
