The normal sex frequency varies by age, reflecting changes in libido, health, and relationship dynamics. Generally, younger adults (ages 18-29) tend to have the highest sexual frequency. This frequency gradually decreases as individuals age. By the time individuals reach their 60s and beyond, the frequency may drop to 2-4 times per month, influenced by factors such as hormonal changes, health issues, and relationship status.
