How Often Do Newlyweds Really Have Sex? Myths vs. Reality Of Honeymoon Sex

Is the honeymoon period really a non-stop sex fest - or is the first year of marriage the hardest?

There are a lot of different myths about newly-married life, and an even more curiosity about what happens in the bedroom (and how much 🙈)

Before we talk about the realities of Honeymoon sex, we have an interesting survey to share. Here it goes!

375 of the newest married people were surveyed, and the results are quite interesting. 

• The majority of people didn’t start their married life off with a bang (we mean hot honeymoon sex). 
• Many couples live together before they get married, and they've probably been in the honeymoon stage for a while before they tie the knot.
• 58% had sex on their wedding night (we told you, not everybody was starting off married life with a bang). Actually, think about it: when you combine stress, alcohol, and exhaustion from all the rituals, it’s natural for anybody to face-plant a bed.
• 74% did it the day after their wedding.  It turns out the day after you get married is actually a more popular choice for sex.

• 72% had sex the day they got engaged. The day you get engaged seems to be an amorous choice, too. (That’s what the numbers say!)

Debunking Myths About Honeymoon Sex

We have debunked some of the greatest myths about new couple sex for your reference: 

Myth 1: You Need a Certain Amount of Sex

Ever stumbled upon advice that insists that newly married couples need to have sex X times a week? Well, that’s a myth. There’s no magic number. The “right” amount of sex varies from couple to couple. High sex drives? You might want more. Low libidos? Less is perfectly fine. It’s all about what works for you two. 

Myth 2: Scheduled Intimacy is Unsexy

Some people cringe at the idea of scheduling sex, believing it kills spontaneity and passion. But for others, putting sex on the calendar is a game-changer. It ensures busy couples make time for each other, showing commitment to their sex lives. Plus, for some, knowing when it’s going to happen builds anticipation and excitement. After all, different strokes for different folks!

Myth 3: Marriage Kills Sex Lives

Heard the one about marriage being a sex life killer? Not true. Marriage can actually enhance your sexual connection. Emotional intimacy and knowing each other’s bodies well can make sex more meaningful and enjoyable. It’s the quality that matters, not quantity.

Myth 4: Masturbation Ends

Masturbation doesn’t magically stop when you get married. Different sex drives mean that sometimes one partner might need to take matters into their own hands. It’s also a great way to explore and understand your own desires, which can only benefit your sexual relationship with your spouse. So, no, marriage doesn’t switch off solo sessions. Talking of solo sessions or even shared adventures, Leezu’s has an exciting range of adult toys for men and women that can spice up your sex life and how! Toofan Intense (one of the best hands-free male masturbators) and Pyaari (female personal massager) are two of our absolute favourites when it comes to Honeymoon sex toys. There are many more options on the website to explore. 

Remember, marriage doesn’t change who you are. It’s all about finding what and enjoying your journey together!

Now, let’s talk about what might be keeping the newlyweds from enjoying some sexy time together.
