We all know that harmonious sexual activity can enhance the relationship between couples and is beneficial for their health. New research has shown that having regular sexual activity can reduce the probability of premature death in men.
Sexual intercourse is an essential and enjoyable activity for a large proportion of normal people - of course, the essence of sex is to reproduce offspring - but currently only a small amount of relevant research has exposed us to these aspects. Here are some of the few relevant studies:
A study starting in the 1970s found that regular sexual activity can reduce mortality rates and extend people's lifespan
A Swedish study shows a decreasing trend in average life expectancy for men without sexual activity
A study released in 1976 found that for women, sexual dissatisfaction is an important factor in triggering heart disease.
A recent paper published in the British Medical Journal has brought us more good news, stating that having regular sexual activity can reduce the likelihood of premature death in men.
A group of authoritative scholars in the UK have conducted a long-term research activity on the relationship between sex and health. They invited 1000 male volunteers aged 45 to 59 to participate in the study and divided them into three groups. One group had sex at least twice a week, the other had sex at most once a month, and the last group was the part between these two groups.
Ten years later, researchers found that the average mortality rate of the group with the lowest frequency of sexual activity was more than twice that of the group with the most frequent sexual activity. The average mortality rate of the group with a middle frequency of sexual activity is also 60% higher than that of the group with frequent sexual activity. The same research model can also yield similar results when used in other studies on sexual life and health.
There are still many questions in society regarding this research model: can regular sexual activity promote health? Do people with poor physical fitness also have weaker libido? Or, are there certain factors, such as physical strength, alcohol, stress, etc., that can simultaneously affect physical health and sexual desire? Researchers conducted further investigations to answer these questions and found that even adjusting the age of volunteers and taking into account factors such as social class, smoking status, and blood pressure, similar conclusions could be drawn from the surveyed volunteers.
