And The List Keeps Growing

Many men are always looking for more excuses to have more sex, and goods ones. Some of the ones being used have been refuted, so thanks to more and more studies on erectile dysfunction, some new ones are coming into the limelight. So how about this one; Regular sexual activity is good for the heart, and studies can prove it.

Let’s face it, ED is huge business, and now that it’s an illness, studies of all sorts from all walks of life are getting involved. Correlations between erectile dysfunction and heart disease have been made. Taking it a little further and new studies are showing that not only exercise is good for the heart, but so is sexual activity. But it’s on a different level as sexual “exercise” also decreases stress on an individual, and promotes better relations with your partner, which always makes life better all over the map.

Susan A. Hall, PhD, at the department of epidemiology at the New England Research Institute writes that men who have regular sexual activity of twice a week or more have reported less cardiovascular disease than men having sex once a month or less.

Over 1150 men with an average age of 50 were studied for an average of over 15 years. None of these men had any cardiovascular illness at the start of the study, and of them all just over 210 had reported issues with erectile dysfunction.

An interesting pattern started to emerge, men were found to have a more increased probability of cardiovascular issues that had a decreased amount of sexual activity. In fact, it was found that men with lower sexual encounters of once a month or less had a 45% higher risk of cardiovascular problems than men with a reported sexual activity of 2-3 times a week.

The results actually suggest that low sexual activity could actually predict cardiovascular problems. And this is independent of the ED issues pointing toward possible heart blockages as a possible indicator.

Dr. Hall mentioned that “Men who are sexually active likely have a libido and the capacity for physical activity. So the ability to have sex might be a marker for overall health”.

So, should doctors now include questions about their patients sex lives, sexual activities, and sexual interest as a screening method for getting clues about their cardiovascular condition?

Or how about “Honey, I need to keep healthy to watch our children grow up and take care of you until we get old, so let’s do it, okay?” That sounds like a new and improved reason.
