How frequent sex helps your
health
1) Having at least two orgasms a week can increase your life span.
Every time you reach orgasm, the hormone DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
increases in response to sexual excitement and ejaculation. DHEA can
boost your immune system, repair tissue, improve cognition, keep skin
healthy, and even work as an anti-depressant.12
2) Orgasms boost infection-fighting cells up by 20% according to
gynecologist Dr. Dudley Chapman. Orgasm boosts levels of T3 and T4
lymphocyte cells - a type of white blood cell which produces antibodies.
Psychologists at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that students who
had regular sexual activity had a third higher levels of IgA (immunoglobulin
A - an antibody which boosts the immune system and keeps you healthy).13
3) The hormone oxytocin secretes within your body whenever you engage in
sexual activity. Because of this secretion, endorphins (hormone-like
chemicals that bear a close functional resemblance to morphine) are
released. Studies have shown that a rise in oxytocin levels can relieve
pain; everything from headaches, cramps and overall body aches.12
4) Both testosterone and estrogen levels experience a boost through
regular sexual activity. Testosterone does more than just boost your sex
drive, it can help fortify bones and muscles, and keep your heart in good
working condition as well. In women, sexual activity increases estrogen
levels, which protects them against heart disease.12
5) For men, masturbation or regular sex is good for the prostate and can
prevent painful prostate blockage. Storing seminal fluids for long periods
can also cause prostate congestion, which in turn can lead to urinary and
ejaculatory pain. Regular ejaculations can help ward off this condition,
also called nonspecific prostatitis A study by Dr. Michael Leitzmann
(from the National Cancer Institute) of 29,000 men found "higher elevations
of ejaculation appear to protect men from developing prostate cancer." The
study suggested that frequent ejaculations may decrease the concentration of
"chemical carcinogens which readily accumulate in prostatic fluid."14,15

Sex fights
illness
Scientific research
is starting to show that regular sex appears to help to stave off the threat
of illness – and what’s more, it could even help people to live longer.
When, for example,
scientists studied around 2400 men in Caerphilly, Wales, over a 10-year
period, it found that those who had more orgasms were 50 per cent less
likely to have died.
This lowering of
risk was particularly marked when it came to heart attacks, leading
scientists to endorse the idea that sex can be excellent exercise.
Another way in which
sex shows its disease-fighting qualities is in the role it appears to have
in protecting against prostate cancer.
Studies have shown
that frequent ejaculations appear to reduce the risk of this type of cancer,
which affects around 20,000 men in Britain every year.
The latest research,
carried out in Boston, looked at 30,000 men aged between 46 and 81. It found
that a higher number of ejaculations was linked with a decreased risk of
cancer of up to 33 per cent.
This follows a
smaller Australian study that appeared to show that men who masturbated
frequently in earlier life were a third less likely to develop prostate
cancer when they got older.
This phenomenon has
been attributed to the theory that orgasm reduces the development of
calcifications in the prostate that have been linked with cancer.
Immunity
booster
Sex can also boost
general health by stimulating the immune system. A study carried out in
Pennsylvania, for example, showed that sexually active university students
produced more of the bacteria-fighting antigen IgA than those who didn’t
have any sex.
Scientists have
speculated that this could be because sexually active people are potentially
exposed to more infections, so their immune systems are primed to deal with
them.
Quality, not
quantity, seems to be important, however: people who had very frequent sex
had lower IgA levels than those who had no sex at all.
This, according to
Dr Carl Charnetski, who carried out the study, could be because people who
were having very frequent sex might have been in relationships that were
causing stress, which can make IgA levels drop.
The association
between health and the nature of sex is perhaps backed up by a Japanese
study in which 19 out of 42 people who had had a stroke during sex were
being unfaithful at the time.
