Your risk of prostate cancer spikes.
For the fellas, there’s a study presented to the American Urological Association that shows some uplifting results. It found that men who knocked boots on a consistent basis saw a 20 percent decrease in their risk of prostate cancer.
This is due to the removal of potentially harmful substances found in the prostate, by way of ejaculation.
Oddly enough, further research in the journal BJU International, found that the more a man masturbates during his 20s, 30s, and 40s, the greater his risk for prostate cancer.
Erectile dysfunction becomes a serious problem.
Regular sexual activity – once a week of more — protects against erectile dysfunction.
Men who abstain from intercourse are twice as likely to experience the inability to achieve or keep an erection firm enough to enjoy sex, a study published in the American Journal of Medicine reports.
You may experience depression.
For the ladies, the longer you go without sex, the more down in the dumps you may feel.
This research was found in a study in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior. According to experts, this is because semen contains compounds such as melatonin, serotonin, oxytocin – all of which apparently boost mood in women who don’t strap up during sex.
However, it’s important to note, that this is not an endorsement NOT to practice safe sex!
