Suppose there were a couple who had sex at least once a day, sometimes up to five times a day, averaging more less 20 minutes every time. Say they’ve been carrying on the practice for more or less a year. Assume they are completely monogamous, and each is the only partner the other has ever had. What are the benefits/risks – psychological and physiological – of this practice?
I’m not talking about morality. Just assume they’re married.
There’s a song I heard on a commercial recently and I really liked it. The premise is that everybody is doing everything to everybody. The word “everybody” is used in every line (I think) and at the end of the chorus the line is “I don’t want to be…Everybody!”
Whenever I search for it, all I get is a song by Blue Nile, and I don’t think that’s it.
I’m an idiot…it’s another thread…
Well depending on how vigorous it is, the simple exercise benefits may be not-insignificant. How many people do you know who get between 20 minutes and an hour of exercise every day? According to various websites, an hour of vigorous sex can burn 200-300 calories or so, not to mention the cardiovascular benefits.
Pregnancy and many children, which may be seen as a benefit or risk.
Besides that as long as the sex drive in each partner matches the other, it will be a happy marriage, happy people tend to be healthier, married people tend to live longer.
A regular emptying of ones prostate would probably reduce one’s chances of prostate cancer.

Well, over the course of one year as the OP specifies, that’d be time for one pregnancy brought to term, and not time for a second if mommy breastfeeds.

It may actually work as birth control. With that frequency, the sperm count may remain too low to impregnate the woman. Some couples trying to get pregnant have been advised to let it “load up”.
Of course I doubt that such a system would ever be recommended as a birth control method.
When we were trying for our first child, the instructions were to have sex every other day. So I guess the hypothetical couple could do the deed every day, as long as the guy held off every other time and just kind of acted as a human sex toy, without release.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Ummm… well, if he’s tagging you five times a day, I bet he’s not cheating on you.
Heck, if I did it five times a day with my wife, I’d have trouble making it to WORK, much less another woman.
…stagger to the bedroom door, collapse limply in the hallway, gasping… 
Who is this Rocketeer guy, and how does he know how out of shape I am?
Ouch. You’d be walking around with your balls in a sling.

I can see a multi-time marathon sessinon if both parties have not gotten any in a while, but for 5 times a days over multiple days, at some point wouldn’t your parts get a bit sore unless these are little “quick like bunny” sessions. I wonder how whores stand it? Do their parts “toughen up”?
Hey, you! Get off of my cloud!
[size =1]Well, not my cloud at the moment, but still…[/size]
I have to laugh that the “size” tag is broken in a sexual performance thread. 
“Would you care for another schnitzengruben?”
“No, thank you. Fifteen is my limit on schnitzengruben.”
“Well then, uh, how about a little, uh… (whispers in his ear)”
“Baby, please! I am not from Havana!”
Didn’t work for us. We were still on the several times a day plan when Baby Player got started.
