Jake Maddock is Australian and his name may be unknown to you. He calls himself a “tough love” relationship coach, which could be a couples coach. And his opinions tend to generate controversy with statements like that “women need to embrace their feminine energy and follow a man’s leadwhereas men need to step into the masculine and take charge of the relationship.”
In another of his interventions he said that “couples should not go on vacation alone with their friends once they have married”, despite the fact that science has shown the many benefits of traveling with friends.
Every time he opens his mouth, the bread rises, and his last intervention is one more example, because now he has revealed how often should couples have sex. By his own account, his statistics are backed by science, although he has interpreted the results in a somewhat peculiar way.
How much sex should a couple have a week?
The coach talks in a TikTok video that it is best to have sex with your partner two or three times a week. Not a low figure, especially considering that millennials have sex 75 times a year on average. According to a Archives of Sexual Behavior study, married couples have sex an average of 51 times a year. A standard year has 52 weeks and 1 day except for a leap year, which gives us a figure of 156 sexual relations per year if we take Maddock’s advice. A hundred more than usual.
The controversial coach clarifies that it is necessary for them to be so many because sex has “benefits for mental and physical health” and influences “hormonal regulation.” Sex, with or without loveit is obvious that it has benefits on a physical level. Reduces stress, increases self-esteem, improves cardiovascular health, increases endorphins… but according to studies, so does masturbating.
Maddock states that “it is very good for women to have an orgasm three times a week. It’s good for their mental health, their physical health, it’s good for their bodies.” And it’s true that having orgasms has benefits, but to have an orgasm we don’t need a partner, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many Satisfyers on the nightstand. In fact, This study confirms that young Spanish women prefer to masturbate to penetration, something that also contrasts with the words of the Australian.
She adds that “people in long-term relationships seem to get lazy and say ‘once a week is fine’, ‘once a month is fine’. They just get lazier and lazier, and they end up breaking up.” His statements he says that they are supported by studies, which do not appear anywhere in his videoand he is very categorical with the figure, despite the fact that science has not shown that the magic number Maddock talks about exists, he only talks about the statistical average number of times sex is practiced.
But the psychologist Iria Reguera is not as clear about it as he is and begins by wondering “who decides what is the amount of normal and acceptable sex And what are we basing ourselves on to set that scale.” In the words of the psychologist, “the only really important thing is that the sexual life you have – be it more or less active than average – satisfies you both, you feel comfortable and it is the right one for you”.
We certainly don’t trust Maddock one hair and pwe refer to talking to our partner instead of giving us a number to reachas if we were doing squats in the gym.
