"Long term researches showed that regular basis sex increases the humans' lifespan. For the same age and health, those who had orgasms more frequently had half the death rate of men who did not have such frequent orgasms. This could be due to the plummeting stress hormones, reaction that installs after we have sex. Frequent orgasms (about 100 per year) have been linked to an increase of 3-8 years in a person's lifespan and a decrease of death risk of 50%."
"Sex fights cancer! Various researches have shown that a high ejaculation frequency and sexual activity are linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer later in life. A study found out that men who ejaculated 13 to 20 times monthly presented a 14% lower risk of prostate cancer than men who ejaculated on average, between 4 and 7 times monthly for most of their adult life. Those ejaculating over 21 times a month presented a 33% decreased risk of developing prostate cancer than the baseline."
"Researches found that sexually active women have a lower risk of developing breast cancer."
This article was a hoot. My favorite part is where he breaks down how many calories one burns during various sexual practices:
"Trying to find the clitoris............ 8 Calories
Trying to find the G-Spot.............. 192 Calories"
My only gripe is that he doesn't link to any of the studies.
