In addition to the intense sensations that they provide, cuddling in bed would bebeneficial to health. Making love would increase life expectancy, prevent the onset ofheart problems and even some cancers. When fun rhymes with health
orgasme_sante in General, regular sex would reduce the rate of human mortality. ASwedish research 1 of 1981 had stressed a mortality rate stronger than the average in70 years men who had stopped for several years their sexual activity. But profits arenot the seniors. In early 1997, a British study 2 followed 918 men aged 45-59 years forfour years. It demonstrated that, during this period, the mortality rate of men with atleast two sexual relations by weeks was twice lower than the mortality rate of thosewho had less than a month. Attention, beyond two intercourse, no proportionality wasfound between the number of intercourse and the decline in the mortality rate.
I will put all my heart
The therapeutic virtues of sexual activity mainly in the heart. Indeed, the previouslymentioned British study highlights a decrease of the cardiac risks associated with thefrequency of sexual relations. These benefits on the heart are also mentioned for bothsexes in American works published in the year 2000 3.
Of course, this benefit remains questionable: making love is after all that exercise, orthe heart of physical activity benefits are well known! Everyone has his sport...
The small death without the great...
Obviously, some cannot fail to mention the risk of epectase (death during orgasm)and will quote the example of french president Félix Faure, died in 1899 at the Elyseein the arms of his mistress...
They can rest assured, cited above American study 3 has evaluated the risks of heartattack associated with this particular exercise. Certainly it shows that the risk of myocardial infarction is 2.5 times larger during the two hours following a sexualrelationship. However, this risk is extremely low: increase the risk of cardiac event is0.01% over one year for a frequency of sex per week.
Orgasm and prostate: same fight?
In addition to possible effects on the heart, love could prevent the onset of somecancers. Thus, a Japanese study 4 of 1990 conducted over one hundred men for threeyears would have demonstrated a decrease in the risk of prostate cancer associatedwith an increase in the frequency of orgasms. Nevertheless, this study also reflects anincreased risk in the event of sexual activity supported between 30 and 50 years...
This effect of sex on the prostate to also studied in terms of abstinence. Thus,American research 5 1981 studied the mortality rate linked to cancer of the prostate gland in 6 226 Catholic priests of the State of New York (United States). The results,this time, does not advocate sexual relationships: prostate cancer-related deaths weretwo times lower among the priests that those statistically expected. Related tocolorectal or lung cancer mortality rates were also lower.
Do you like each other
Another American study 6 1996 concerned this time 2 573 Catholic sisters aged 50 to84 years. This time, the results showed an increase in the nuns from the mortality rateassociated with breast and reproductive tract cancers. For scientists, the explanationwould be in fact related to the absence of pregnancy and not to that of sex.
In all cases, lifestyle of a priest or a nun differs in many respects from that of theaverage citizen. Obviously, abstinence cannot bear any responsibility for thesestatistical observations.
Hand games...
Finally, do not forget the preliminaries, which would also be good for your health. It isat least suggested by an Australian researcher 7. After him, the stimulation of thebreasts in women, by releasing a hormone called oxytocin, could prevent the onset ofbreast cancer. The precise study same that oxytocin is released in large quantitiesduring orgasm, so that sexual activity could have a protective role against breastcancer.
Generally, these different work seem so indicate that often make love is actuallybeneficial to health. However, if you decide to take your health... remember to protectyou.
