Well, it depends on who you ask. Especially in a long-term relationship where there is almost always a disparity between supply and demand; a gap. A sex gap.
Here’s how you work out your sex gap: first, establish how many times each partner wants sex per week. Now subtract the lower number from the higher one and that’s your sex gap. He wants it seven times a week, she’d be happy with twice? The sex gap in that relationship is five. The smaller the number, the more perfect your sexual match.

There are many things that can affect the size of a size of a sex gap but biology is probably the biggest. Generally speaking, the male libido is nothing short of bulletproof. Just like cockroaches can survive a nuclear explosion, so too the male urge for sex can transcend any situation bar actual death. Hung over? Still want it. Acute, ugly food poisoning? Still want it. Bed-ridden with flu? Still want it. Haven’t slept for three months, lost your job, moved interstate and house just burnt to the ground? Still. Want. It. Just been in a lawn mower accident and missing a limb? Never mind my bloody stump, baby, let’s get it on!
But women? More finely tuned. More likely to be vulnerable to passion-killers like fatigue, stress, resentment and feeling fat. Oh, and distraction. Also known as the wandering mind, this is when thoughts unrelated to the task at hand keep popping into your head and then jumping around like monkeys.
