Good medical research backs this up. Normal monogamous sex is healthy. Thought we could all use something a little light hearted (and enjoyable) as Valentine's Day is one week from today.

So we don't have to go to the gym for an hour to work out anymore. Just have 30 seconds of sex and that's it?

“Most health benefits seem to be linked to penile-vaginal intercourse”

Sure to make some special interest groups very unhappy.

Andrew Sullivan, Anderson Cooper, Barney Frank, et al are going to dispute the findings.

actually, folks with hardening of the arteries (ASCVD/high cholesterol) high blood pressure and diabetes are more likely to be in poor health, more likely to be depressed, and more likely to have erectile dysfunction.

So it’s not more sex that leads to a longer life, it’s that if you are physically able to have sex, your heart and circulation is probably okay.

When I lifted weights and read fitness magazines avidly, the recurring theme was, “Attack your mate, not your plate!”

I could show my wife this scientific study and she’d still laugh at me. Mean, mean cruel woman.

Thanks all the same, but I'll remain single, celibate, and sane, and perhaps die young(ish). Too much drama in the male-female pair bonding that humans do. I've done my time. Now is time for me to reflect, pray, do penance, and point and laugh at young men, and foolish old men.

Hogwash! In the old days people were much more modest about sex and we built an entire nation because men were not using up most of their energies pleasuring themselves with women. It takes a lot of your manliness away if you have too much sex and also empowers the women to hate you! Because real love is having less sex until we eventually only have spiritual love left and warmth for our mate...no need to sex to feel good then! This is very bad propaganda that has been happening since the sexual revolution and look how badly we have devolved as a nation!

Sexual activity is a very important thing to do. Human beings were really meant to do this.’

I have to wonder.......Nah, I better not!

Does frequent sex with oneself count?

A man went to the doc with his wife. He was in pretty bad health. After the doc was finished with the examination, he called the wife out to give her the news. “ if you feed him three good meals a day and have sex at least twice a day for many months, he will have a full recovery.”

The wife then goes back into the room where her husband was waiting. “well, what did the doc say?” the wife takes his hand in hers and says, “ you’re going to die.”

Hubby and I should live to be 200!!! Yeaaaa for us :-)
