Today I want to share with you some information I received through an e-mail from Smart Marriages. Sex is often a topic that can be joked about, yet not seriously discussed. From this article it is evident that sex in marriage is good for you.
“Researchers have linked sex to better immune protection and to a lower risk of prostate cancer. One study found men with more frequent ejaculations (21 or more a month) had a lower risk of prostate cancer compared to men with four to seven ejaculations monthly.” All the men are high fiving each other now because they can tell their wives, “You don’t want me to get cancer do you?” Just remember guys, if you treat your wives well you will get all the sex you can handle. See other entries in the blog for pointers.
Part of the article spoke about resuming sex after a heart attack. The good news is that most people can resume sexual activity after a heart attack. For those concerned that sex could bring on a heart attack the article says: “In reality, only about one half of one percent of fatal heart attacks occur after sexual activity, and 80 percent of these involve extramarital affairs or persons having sex with much younger partners.” Again, we see that sex is safest within marriage. There can be deadly consequences for straying.
Be REAL with one another and enjoy sex within your marriage frequently. You will both be healthier for it.
