An age old question people in relationships wonder is “Are we having enough sex?” It’s hard to gauge what’s normal in relationships because I doubt most people are accurate in reporting their sex stats.

Let me guess. Your sex life is great, but it could be better, right? I think everyone feels that way. Sex is super, but very few people feel like true experts.

Q:
Hi Emily,
I have a question regarding sex with my fiance. We really only have sex on the weekends, maybe once or twice on Saturday or on Sunday morning.
