Why Brittany Gibbons' Year of Daily Intimacy is Still Making Waves

A woman who had sex with her husband every single day for a whole year has opened up about how it's affected their sex life three years on from the challenge. While intimacy can be an exciting part of the start of a relationship, for most couples the frequency tends to slow down in a long-term relationship, particularly if the stresses of life take over. There's no right or wrong answer to how often a couple should have sex - it's completely down to whatever works for the individuals - but the amount of people having sex every day of the year is probably not that high.

Brittany Gibbons and her husband Andy trialled a whole year of having sex every day, which she initiated to find her old self after having a third child. She explained to Women's Health : "Shortly after having my third child, I remember getting out of the shower, catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and wondering, 'Who let my mum in here? ' "From that point on, I didn't let myself be naked.

I kept the lights off during sex, hid my stomach and boobs inside a camisole, and I waited for my husband to leave the bedroom before barreling from the shower to my closet to get dressed. " She revealed that the idea to have sex every day was sparked by a friend who'd done the same, adding: "Having sex every day for a year seemed obnoxious, but also an intriguing way to force myself into facing my body each day. I mean eventually, the covers would have to come off and the lights would have to stay on, right?
