Another Reason to Use It

I've posted before on how staying sexually active helps keep the sexual organs in good working order. I recently ran across some new research from Finland that lends additional support to this idea. The Finnish researchers found that men who were more sexually active in their younger years were less likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction between the ages of 55 and 74.

How active do you have to be to reduce your risk? The research seems to suggest a minimum of once a week. Since the key is getting blood flowing to the penis, masturbation works as well as intercourse - but of course isn't nearly as much fun. A quick return to sexual activity following prostate surgery even contributes to more rapid healing.

It's not just men who benefit from frequent lovemaking. Women, too, are more likely to keep their juices flowing and prevent genital atrophy if they're having regular sex. If you need another reason to keep sex a priority, do it for your old age!
