Introduction
If, after intercourse every other day, there is no physical discomfort the following day, energy levels remain relatively high, and no abnormal symptoms occur during the process, it is generally considered normal and not a cause for concern. However, if you experience lower back pain, fatigue, poor mental state, or feel physically unable to perform during intercourse, this is usually abnormal and may be due to excessive physical exhaustion.

Is it normal to have intercourse every other day? Generally, this depends on how you feel the next day and whether any discomfort occurs during the process. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Normal

The frequency of sexual intercourse is usually based on mutual agreement between partners, and there is generally no strict standard. If after having sex every other day, you feel physically well the next day, have plenty of energy, and experience no unusual symptoms during intercourse, it is typically considered normal and not a cause for concern.

2. Abnormal

If you experience lower back pain, fatigue, poor mental condition the next day, or feel weak and unable to perform during intercourse, this is generally considered abnormal. It may be due to excessive physical strain, and the frequency of intercourse should be reduced appropriately to prevent conditions such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.

If women experience abnormal symptoms after intercourse in daily life—such as bleeding or abdominal pain—it is recommended to promptly visit the obstetrics and gynecology department at a hospital for proper medical evaluation and treatment.
