摘要

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence about the association between romantic love and sexual frequency. We outline what has historically been thought about romantic love and sexual frequency as well as the latest theoretical and empirical contributions to this area of research.

Recent Findings

There have been three published articles that consider sexual frequency in a sample of participants experiencing romantic love. All are drawn from the same international sample: the Romantic Love Survey 2022. A number of publicly available studies not yet published also exist using this sample.

Summary

It appears that young adults in love report having sex 3.5 times per week on average, but there was substantial variation in sexual frequency in this sample. This is meaningfully higher than sexual frequency found in the married American population.
