Sex helps men live longer if they’re faithful —Studies

A healthy sex life makes men live longer, provided they remain faithful to their partners.

Italian medical researchers carried out a series of studies and found that a healthy sex life means fewer cardiovascular problems for men.

Emmanuele Jannini, research coordinator, said, “What was evident from the research was that men who had active sex lives and were faithful to their partners had fewer cardiovascular complaints and lived longer,” reports the Telegraph.

“Increased sexual activity produces more testosterone, which leads to less depression and a better cardiovascular performance which means an improved metabolism.”

It is also good for men as it burns off excess sugars and reduces risk of heart disease, added Jannini. The study revealed those who were unfaithful had a poor cardiovascular performance as they were “also coping with the increased stress of their infidelity.” She added that the study had shown that a poor quality sex life could also lead to depression.
