A new health study suggests that there is a link between men’s sexual activity and heart-disease risk. Apparently, men who shag two or three times a week are at a lesser risk of heart disease than men who reportedly have sex one a month.

“The Researchers found that there was an increasing risk of cardiovascular disease with decreasing frequency,” states the study, which was published in the American Journal of Cardiology. “Compared to men who reported sexual activity at least 2-3 times a week, men with sexual activity of once per month or less had a 45% increased risk of cardiovascular disease during the study period. The findings took into account factors such as age and ED status.”

Having frequent sexual activity might improve health through stress reduction and social support, especially if a man is in a steady relationship.

As if men needed another reason to fornicate, here’s a productive reason to do so, just strap up.
