In 1948, the American sexologist Alfred Kinsey reported that 75 per cent of healthy men ejaculate within two minutes of vaginal penetration, says Dr Deborah Lee from Dr Fox Online Pharmacy. ‘Women, however, need a minimum of 11 minutes to orgasm,’ she adds. People have different sex drives. Your own sex drive can change based on things like stress, medications you take, and other physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors. Some people want to have sex every day or more than once a day, and some people hardly ever want to have sex. People who don't experience any sexual attraction for anyone may call themselves asexual. How can I have a healthy sex life? Psychologists and researchers have theorized about sex dreams since Sigmund Freud in the early 19th century. Freud believed that dreams were the conscious and subconscious For this reason, trying to describe the “normal” sex life is something of a fool’s errand; the variety is so great that a single statistic is never going to capture how most people feel.

Although the neurological aspects of dreams are fairly well-researched, less research has been conducted to explore the content and meaning of various types of dreams. That said, there are many theories about the role dreams play in the human psyche. Some theorists believe that dreams allow us to act out potential scenarios Having sex less than the norm also doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong. If partners agree that they’re perfectly content having less sex, then they have found their acceptable norm and should not feel the need to evaluate themselves against anyone else. If one partner has a significantly different drive than another, the partner with the higher drive should not attempt to coerce the other into more sex as this can cause resentment and discomfort.
