Can you do self-insemination at home ?
Let’s get candid: If you’ve been in a long-term relationship, you’ve probably wondered, “How often should couples be intimate?” Let’s face it—sex ruts can occur, especially after welcoming a child. Amy Johnson has been refreshingly open about her experiences with intimacy after becoming a mom.
In a recent episode of the podcast hosted by Kevin Hart, Amy shared her intimate life with her husband, Mark Fischer. She didn’t hold back, revealing that they have sex about every seven to ten days. “When we do, we think, ‘Wow, that was amazing! We should do this more often,’ but then it’s another week or so before it happens again,” Amy explained. Married in 2018 and parents to their nearly two-year-old son, Alex, she humorously recounted a recent moment: “I asked him if he wanted to be intimate, and he made a face like he just tasted something sour.”
This relatable scenario isn’t just for parents; even couples without children can find themselves in similar situations. Experts indicate that for many couples in their 40s to 50s, having sex once a week is typical, while younger couples in their 20s and 30s might average around twice a week. Interestingly, some relationships report intimate moments only once a month or even less frequently. A study involving over 20,000 couples found that 26% engage weekly, but most reported being intimate just once or twice a month—or fewer.
Amy further joked about how her social life has shifted since motherhood: “I used to be out every night doing stand-up, but now if a friend invites me out at 8 p.m., I’m like, ‘8 p.m.!? No way!’” It’s a sentiment many can relate to, particularly after the lengthy pandemic lockdowns.
Her honesty doesn’t stop there. Recently, she humorously confessed to not being the “best” parent. “You really don’t know how well you’ll parent until you’re in it. I received some advice from Natalie Portman, who said I’d have more instincts than I realize. Turns out, my instincts are mostly off base,” she shared during her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
