I'm not sexually active, and when I am, it's like once every three months or so. I don't smoke, but I do have a beer every now and then. I'm wondering if there's a way to change this or if there's something I should be doing differently?

It's important to address any underlying physical or emotional factors that may be affecting your sexual health. Low frequency of sexual activity can be influenced by stress, lifestyle, or relationship dynamics. If you're concerned, consider speaking with a healthcare professional to explore potential causes and solutions, including lifestyle changes, managing stress, or improving communication with a partner.
