Keeping up with the Joneses isn’t just about comparing income,
education and success. It’s about sex — duh. Are you doing it more? Or
less? And what’s enough of the horizontal hula, anyway?

According to research, the Goldilocks of getting it on
— the frequency that’s just right to keep a couple happy and content —
is once a week. Yep. Once. A. Week. And while conventional wisdom — or
maybe just all that talk in men’s locker rooms — holds that more is
more, that’s not the case here.
“Once a week seemed to be the sweet spot,” said lead author Amy Muise,
Ph.D., a psychology professor at York University in Toronto. Having sex
more often than once a week doesn’t make the average couple any happier.
On the other hand, it doesn’t make them any less happy, IYKWIM.
And even though you might imagine that men disagree with once-a-week in a
big way, think again. Results were the same for men and women, for
young and elderly, and for longtime and short-term relationships.
Another finding: Muise told the Daily News that “couples having sex less
frequently than once a week were less happy than those having sex once a
week.” You know if you need to get busy.
