Sexual intercourse has protective effects against certain serious diseases. A Scottish study at the University of Edinburgh claims that three hugs per week lengthens life by ten years. It confirms that sexual intercourse is beneficial to health, as it can protect couples from diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer or cardiovascular disease. According to Dr. Frédéric Saldmann, American cardiologist and nutritionist, author of the book on “The new anti-aging shields”, protection against breast cancer would be based on the release in women of certain hormones during sexual intercourse, while in men, ejaculations would have a cleansing effect of the prostate gland. Moreover, both in men and women, the sexual act involves an effort, soliciting in particular the heart muscle, which is thus «worked», as when practicing a physical activity of a sporting nature. Finally, active sex has a positive effect on mental health.
