1. Helps Keep Your Immune System Humming

“s3xually active people take fewer sick days,” says Yvonne K. Fulbright, PhD a s3xual health expert.

People who have s3x have higher levels of what defends your body against germs, viruses, and other intruders. Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that college students who had s3x once or twice a week had higher levels of the a certain antibody compared to students who had s3x less often.

You should still do all the other things that make your immune system happy, such as:

-Eat right.
-Stay active.
-Get enough sleep.
-Keep up with your vaccinations.
-Use a c0'ndom if you don’t know both of your STD statuses.

2. Boosts Your l!bido

Longing for a more lively s3x life? “Having s3x will make s3x better and will improve your l!bido,” says Lauren Streicher, MD. She is an assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.

For women, having s3x ups vaginal lubrication, blood flow, and elasticity, she says, all of which make s3x feel better and help you crave more of it.
3. Improves Women's Bladder Control

A strong pelvic floor is important for avoiding incontinence, something that will affect about 30% of women at some point in their lives.

Good s3x is like a workout for your pelvic floor muscles. When you have an orgasm, it causes contractions in those muscles, which strengthens them.

4. Lowers Your Blood Pressure

Research suggests a link between s3x and lower blood pressure, says Joseph J. Pinzone, MD. He is CEO and medical director of Amai Wellness.

“There have been many studies,” he says. “One landmark study found that s3xual intercourse specifically (not m@sturbation) lowered systolic blood pressure.” That's the first number on your blood pressure test.
5. Counts as Exercise

“s3x is a really great form of exercise,” Pinzone says. It won’t replace the treadmill, but it counts for something.

s3x uses about five calories per minute, four more calories than watching TV. It gives you a one-two punch: It bumps up your heart rate and uses various muscles.

So get busy! You may even want to clear your schedule to make time for it on a regular basis.  “Like with exercise, consistency helps maximize the benefits,” Pinzone says.
6. Lowers Heart Attack Risk

A good s3x life is good for your heart. Besides being a great way to raise your heart rate, s3x helps keep your es'trogen and t3stosterone levels in balance.

“When either one of those is low you begin to get lots of problems, like osteoporosis and even heart disease,” Pinzone says.

Having s3x more often may help. During one study, men who had s3x at least twice a week were half as likely to die of heart disease as men who had s3x rarely.
