Brief Answer:
frequency of sex varies according to individual capacity

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Frequency of sex among married couple is highly variable.It ranges from once daily to once in a month. Most of the couple do sex on desire and when both partner are in mood.

For good sex healthy,fresh,energetic and relax body as well as mind are needed.

If someone is daily busy with routine work he/she may ended in tiredness at the end of the day and cannot do the sex in this situation. This is completely normal.

One can increase frequency and capacity of sex by following healthy lifestyle, regular sleep, scheduled meal & healthy balanced diet and daily exercise. Sparing relax time for oneself is necessary for good sex. Sex required energy also.
No specific time interval is needed between two sex act. However for a male it is difficult to get orgasm and ejaculation twice in consecutive manner. At least penis will take 30 minutes to prepare for next attempt after one successful sex attempt with ejaculation.

Both partner should understand and respect each others will and capacity for sex and should do the sex accordingly.

I hope you can get some idea about your question from this answer. If you want to ask further, please revert back to me with details:

Your age, sex, height,weight, work and routine schedule,any habit of smoking or like that and same aspects about your spouse.
And also let me know is there any conflict/issue between you if your partner demands and you can not involve in sex?

Brief Answer:
You need to reduce weight

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for information.
110 KG weight is high in my opinion. This much weight affect overall body functions.Obesity can lead to many health hazards like hypertension and diabetes.
You get easily tired, easily hungry and exhausted due to this much weight. For your ideal weight I need to know your height or even you can get the figure on net by searching BMI(Body Mass Index) calculator .

You can reduce weight by creating calorie deficit. It means you should burn more calories than you take.
-Start daily exercise.Even walking/running 3-4 km per day is good exercise.
-Reduce 25% quantity of current diet.
-Avoid fast food, fatty food, junk food.
-Take more vegetable,fruits, whole grains.

Status of mind affects desire for sex.If you are in stress like emotional,economical,social or occupational; it can affect your libido. Your reduce sexual desire may be due to this factor if you are under stress.
If you have significant stress, you should be evaluated in detail for that.

An adult needs 6-8 hours of sleep per day. Sleep more or less than this is not good.Sleep timing should also be maintained as far as possible.

In conclusion main target should be reduction in weight.

Hope this answer will help.
Feel free to ask if any query is there.

Brief Answer:
no need to take medicine for weight reduction

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX

Thanks for follow up.

I appreciate your decision to reduce weight. For weight reduction important aspect is motivation and determination to reduce weight.

31 BMI is high and you are in obesity grade-1. You must reduce weight for better and stable health.

As I mentioned simple formula for weight reduction is calorie deficit.
First of all you need to calculate your daily calorie requirement at present.You can do the same by using below mentioned link:
http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html

After that you need to take less 500 calorie than your daily requirement and start walking/exercise to burn more calorie.

I am sorry that I can not mention any specific diet chart as I am from XXXXXXX and I am used to be aware with XXXXXXX food. But yes you can make it your own.Food items vary according to culture, atmosphere and country.
I can help you to prepare your diet chart.
-Remove items from your food containing high fat as well as high protein.
-Add more vegetables and fruits.
-Your daily calorie requirement should be satisfied 70% from carbohydrate.
-Whole grains flour should be used rather than ready made prepared junk food.
-Take tomato and cabbage like food which are negative calorie food.They satisfy your appetite but they need calorie to digest.
-You can easily search about your local food item's calorie and nutritional value from internet.

I hope using above points you can modify your diet.

Standing for 3 hours daily and pain in knees and foot suggest some neuromascular problem you need to consult doctor for check up. Some vitamin supplements may help for the same.

It is really good that you have started walking, keep it up.

If you can follow instructions, you can loose 25 kg weight in 6-8 months gradually.
In that case no need to take any medicine for weight reduction.

If you feel that you can not do the same, then only think about medicines for weight reduction.

Even while using herbal life you need to follow diet modification and exercise schedule as it is just nutritional supplement.

Hope this answer is helpful.

If still any query there, I will be happy to answer. If not, you can close the discussion and if feasible give your feedback and rating so I can improve my service. In future you can contact me directly on this site if you wish with this link:
