Sex is extremely important for
mental health, which was
confirmed in a long-term study
of 37,500 adults. People with
fulfilling sex lives were found to
be in better mental health, more
relaxed and self-reliant, with a
positive outlook. Marriage
therapists say that a tender sex
lifehelps bring out the best
qualities in us. When that
happens, the ills of both mind
and body heal more readily. It is
interesting that some sex
therapists warn that celibacy
can be hazardous to your health.
Therewas an article in the
Washington Times with some
psychiatrists agreeing that
abstinence may prevent sexually
transmitted diseases. However,
they also said it could lead to
irritability, insomnia,
psychosomatic disorders,
depression and even suicide.
Sex can boost the immune
system
The good news is, sex is
definitely good for you, at least
in moderation. Psychologists
proved that the immune systems
of people who have sex once or
twice a week receives a
ginificant boost. Scientists
evaluate how robust our immune
systems are by measuring levels
of immunoglobulin A, an antigen
found in saliva and mucosal
linings. This substance, called IgA,
is the first line of defense
against colds and flu. An
important role of IgA is that it
binds to pathogens at all points
of entry to the body, and then
calls on the immune system to
destroy them. In a study made
to measure amounts of IgA in
people who had sex and those
who abstain from it, results
showed that participants who
had sex less than once a week
had a small increase in IgA over
those who abstained completely.
Those who had one or two
sexual encounters each week
had a 30% rise..
