In a recent study, data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005–2010) in the United States showed that sexually inactive women have a higher risk of premature death.
In contrast, women who had sex at least once a week fared better. The study also showed that depressed individuals who had sex less than once a week had a 197% higher risk of death than those who engaged in weekly sexual activity. The findings were published in the “Journal of Psychosexual Health.”
Key findings and benefits of the study The study highlighted several health benefits associated with regular sexual activity. It helps reduce stress, improve mood and boost the immune system, helping the body better defend itself against infections and diseases.
Regular sex also promotes heart health by increasing heart rate and circulation. In addition, it triggers the secretion of the sex hormone prolactin, which improves sleep quality. Frequent sex increases intimacy and strengthens relationships, leading to significant improvements in emotional, physical, and mental health.
Risks for men associated with low sexual activity Another related finding indicates that low sexual activity is associated with poor health outcomes for both men and women. A link was found between erectile dysfunction and cancer in older men.
A new study by Srikant Banerjee and colleagues explored the relationship between sexual frequency and mortality from all causes. They analyzed data from the “National Center for Health Statistics.” The researchers examined the relationship between sex frequency and mortality in two groups: those who had sex less than once a week and those who had sex more frequently.
