dunn2010 121 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 Thank you to all the ladies keeping us men alive! [URL]http://blogs.canoe.ca/swimmersear/general/sex-makes-men-live-longer/[/URL] So it seems that when you were in high school and trying to get in your girlfriend Berthaâ??s pants by saying youâ??d die if you didnâ??t get some kind of sexual release â?? you werenâ??t actually lying. [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/8116384/Healthy-sex-life-makes-men-live-longer.html"][COLOR=#0099ff]Italian researchers[/COLOR][/URL] have determined that a healthy sex life results in fewer cardiovascular problems for men â?? that is, if they donâ??t fool around. Dr. Emmanuele Jannini, of the Italian Society of Sexual Medicine says in the [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/8116384/Healthy-sex-life-makes-men-live-longer.html"][COLOR=#0099ff]Daily Telegraph story[/COLOR][/URL]: [INDENT]â??Increased sexual activity produces more testosterone, which leads to less depression and a better cardiovascular performance which means an improved metabolism.â? [/INDENT]Jannini explained the increased testosterone also forces the body to burn of excess sugars and reduced the risk of heart disease: [INDENT]â??People who have diabetes especially benefit from a healthy sex life and an active sex life also helps avoid prostate problems for men.â? [/INDENT]But the researcher said men who slept around had poor cardiovascular performance because they were â??also coping with the increased stress of their infidelity.â? And if youâ??re bad in bed or your partner is, youâ??ll more likely to be depressed, the study of 4,000 men concluded. Previous research has determined sex is essential for your health and wellbeing and can also help prevent osteoporosis. But I imagine it will be some time before the average family doctor will prescribe [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_surrogate"][COLOR=#0099ff]sex surrogates[/COLOR][/URL] for a bad ticker.
