The frequency of sex is the major determinant of fertility. The majority of infertile couples have infrequent sex. More than half have sex less than once a week and many have sex only once a month in order to try for a pregnancy.
Couples with histories of miscarriage have only slightly more sex. Thirty-eight per cent have sex once a week or less and slightly less than 10% have sex less than once a week.

Hormonal changes that decrease libido are a usual part of aging in both men and women. For those who are delaying having children, this can be a major problem.
As couples age, male and female libido seem to be influenced in different ways. For men, libido is strongly influenced by hormones. However for women, libido seems to be more determined by her prior level of sexual functioning. If this has bean good, her libido is likely to remain strong. If not then there may be problems.
This creates special problems for women who have delayed having sexual relationships until later in life, because they didn't meet the right man. Having no sexual memory, her libido is likely to remain low.
Sexual relations can foster union and harmony if a couple is kind to each other throughout the day and also learns some simple lovemaking techniques to create peace and satisfaction in their sex life.
We can think of sexual relations as a balancing of the male and female energies. The most satisfying lovemaking does not end in sexual explosion. It ends in peace. For this kind of balance and peace to arise, time is required. If intercourse lasts at least half an hour, with deep, gentle penetration, a couple will grow in love and peace. Unfortunately it can be difficult for a man to delay ejaculation for the length of time required to reach this state of loving surrender. Unfulfilling sexual encounters will create tension, even anger, in a once-loving relationship.
Tantric and Taoist texts recommend that a man strengthen his prostate through exercise. A stronger prostate will allow the man to delay, or even avoid, ejaculation. The resulting longer intercourse will allow the balancing of energies fostering peace and love in the relationship.
The prostate is a few inches back from the anus. When a man tightens and relaxes his anus, he automatically massages and strengthens his prostate. (This is called Kegel's exercise.) A man can do this exercise at any time, day, or night, to strengthen his prostate. He can also do the exercise during sexual relations.
During sexual relations the exercise causes increased circulation to the prostate, which causes the prostate to partially empty semen into the man's own blood stream. The partial emptying of the prostate takes away the urgency to ejaculate, and allows intercourse to continue.

The exercise can be repeated every so often during intercourse as long as the couple desires to continue relations. If a man wishes to avoid ejaculation completely, he can do so without harm if he does Kegers exercise after intercourse, which empties the prostate into the blood stream and eliminates the erection.
In this way his lovemaking is more harmonious and his physical and emotional energies are conserved. To find out more, you can check out Infertility In Woman.
