Numerous studies have shown the benefits of an active sex life on health, not least because that sexual activity represents a significant physical activity. Researchers from the Italian Society for Sexual Medicine, which met in Modena, publish a study, mandated by the Telegraph, which sheds new light on the role of gender in health: not only regular sexual activity reduces cardiovascular risk but staying faithful would also be beneficial.

The research director, Emmanuele Jannini says: “What is also obvious from the study is that men who are sexually active and are faithful to their partners are less cardiovascular problems and live longer. Greater sexual activity produces more testosterone, which reduces the risk of depression and improves cardiovascular performance, and thus the metabolism. ”

The researcher explains that testosterone produced during sex can burn unnecessary sugars and reducing the risk of heart disease: “People with diabetes have a particularly healthy sex life, while an active sex life can also reduce the risk of prostate disease in men. The men who are unfaithful should instead “manage the stress of their infidelity,” which has negative effects on their cardiovascular system.

The health effects of married life and regular sexual activity are the subject of numerous studies for many years. The first study showed that the better health of married couples over singles in 1858. At the time, Britain William Farr had shown that the spouses were living longer and healthier lives.

Subsequent studies have proliferated, including showing that couples have fewer mental problems. A study in the Netherlands has shown that even single people have a stronger risk than married people to die by homicide or car accident. But new research shows today that being married is not in itself an assurance of good health, and he must distinguish between marriages and other happy, as explained in the New York Times last April.
