Why Bother? Part 2

In the last post, I talked about the relationship benefits of an active sex life, but there are individual benefits, as well.

Sexual activity reduces stress, improves immunity, and even provides relief from some types of pain. Believe it or not, sex also appears to help maintain a youthful appearance. In a study of 3500 men and women, subjects were viewed through a one-way mirror by a panel of judges who then guessed the age of each subject. Those whose ages were underestimated by 7-12 years were the most sexually active of all the subjects - reporting sexual activity at least 3 times a week.

Sex may not be exactly a fountain of youth, but it's certainly more fun than anti-ageing creams and facelifts!
