Fidelity Is Healthy for Men

A healthy sex life makes men live longer, finds a study carried out by the Italian Society of Sexual Medicine. The study shows that a poor quality sex life could also lead to depression. But the research, carried out by University of Florence, also finds that this is only so if men remain faithful to their partners. Emmanuele Jannini, head of the research, says of the findings: “Men who had active sex lives and were faithful to their partners had fewer cardiovascular complaints and lived longer. Increased sexual activity produces more testosterone, which leads to less depression and better cardiovascular performance, which means an improved metabolism.”

Jannini adds that those who were unfaithful had poor cardiovascular performance because they were “also coping with the increased stress of their infidelity”.

She also says, “People who have diabetes especially benefit from a healthy sex life, and an active sex life also helps avoid prostate problems for men.”
