REGULAR SEX MEANS LONGER LIFE

Regular and enthusiastic sex is good for you, finds a 10 –year study conducted by the Irish and published by the Brits in the British Medical Journal. Sex offers a host of benefits including increasing life span, boosting the immune system, and aiding pain relief, urinary control and weight loss.

Wow! I’m for all those benefits.

Other studies have claimed additional benefits of intercourse several times a week for women as well as men: IMPROVED SENSE OF SMELL. (Well, that one will never be high on my list). BETTER FITNESS. Intercourse burns about 200 calories, which is the equivalent of running 15 minutes on a treadmill. (Great news. I hate running on anything). DEPRESSION RELIEF. (Fantastic. I’m amazed that there are as many depressed men as there are). PAIN RELIEF. (Hey, here is another one high on my list. No wonder I hurt so much). IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOST. (Another good one). BLADDER CONTROL. (Not a problem yet, but why not head it off at the pass). LESSENS CANCER RISK. (Wow! Wonderful. Maybe someday this will even cure cancer)

One doctor, in typical British understatement, summed everything up when he said, “The relationship found between frequency of sexual intercourse and mortality is of considerable public interest.”

Who knew? Just think how much better shape I could have been in all my life and all the diets I could have avoided.
