Chinese medicine expert, Nina Cheng, revealed how often you should have intimate relations according to your age, in order to be as healthy as possible and avoid emotional stress.

A question is often asked about the importance of intimate relationships and how often it is necessary to practice them for the benefit of health.

"Did you know that in traditional Chinese medicine too little sex is considered a cause of disease? Although traditional Chinese medicine often emphasizes the potential long-term consequences of excessive sexual activity, many do not realize that not having enough sex is also considered a health problem," Cheng explained.

According to her, ancient Chinese doctors believed that women were more likely to experience sexual frustration because they were not allowed to express themselves sexually like men.

"If you're in your twenties, you should be having intercourse every four days, while people in their thirties should aim to have it every eight days," she pointed out.

As we age, the time between orgasms doubles. So, in your forties you should have intercourse every 16 days, while those in your fifties should have intercourse every 21 days.

"Ultimately, in your sixties you should be intimate every 30 days," Cheng claims.
