Sex Day: sexual health is not measured by the frequency of relations, says specialist

extra6 September 2026 at 10:00

Sex Day is celebrated this Sunday, September 6, and psychologist, sexologist, and neuropsychologist Fernanda Purificação used the date to propose a change in perspective on sexual health. According to the specialist, the frequency of relations is still one of the most common ways to measure a person's sexual life, but this logic ignores what really matters for a healthy sexual life.

Purificação argues that sexual health should not be measured by how many times someone has sex, but by how each person relates to their own body, their desires, their limits, and their pleasure. The specialist wants the date to be marked by a reflection on how many people are fully living their sexuality, and not just on the number of people having sex.

The specialist proposes that, on this date, people reflect less on numbers and more on the quality and fullness of the individual sexual experience. The article also mentions other topics related to sexuality, including the fetish of men wearing panties, daily sexual habits that can bring benefits, and female pleasure after divorce.
