What is the frequency of your love antics per week or per month? The answer is intimate and only concerns you and your partner, as long as everyone is satisfied with the pace. But according to a new study, women with sex at least once a week have physical and mental assets that others do not have. A truth to meditate before handing over his next relationships until later.
Women who do it the most are also the most satisfied in life
This study, published recently in theInternational Journal of Sexual Healthbased on a survey of 483 New Zealand women in a relationship during the past year. The investigation was based on questionnaires on the couple’s sexual habits and the satisfaction felt. The observation is final:
- 85 % of women with weekly reports said they were “sexually satisfied” and satisfied in their couple;
- Only 66 % of wives and girlfriends with sex once a month declared the same level of relational happiness;
- This figure drops drastically to 17 % among women who have had less frequent sex;
- The study also revealed that women who considered sex as “very important” had a more fulfilled love life than those for whom this was not the case.
Regular relations are more important than you think
The author of the study, Alexandra Janssen, researcher at the University of Manchester, said that the results show the importance of regular intimate relations.
“”Women having sex less than once a week were much less likely to be satisfied in their sexual relations“, she says.”Therapists working with women to improve their satisfaction could focus on increasing the frequency of sexual intercourse.“”
Satisfaction was also higher in women declaring having regular orgasms and considering sex as an important part of their lives. However, a limit of this study should be highlighted: only with a questionnaire survey, it was not possible to verify the veracity of the responses provided. So you shouldn’t put too much pressure on these results, which could be slightly overestimated.
Regular sex: beneficial health activity for women
But regular sexual intercourse does not only improve mood. Other recent studies have also concluded that they are excellent for the overall health of women, and could even help them live longer.
Thus, a study by Michigan State University revealed that women aged 57 to 85 who still appreciated having sex were less likely to suffer from high blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Likewise, a study by the University of Indiana has shown that women with fulfilled sexual life produce higher levels of antibodies, which can help fight infections.
Another study, dating from 2013 and conducted by British neuropsychologist Dr David Weeks, has revealed that regular sex can make you seem younger.
Finally, a recent study, which we had already mentioned, indicated that women with sex only once a week or less had an increased risk of 70 % of dying within five years. Blood samples have shown that these women had high levels of a key protein linked to inflammation, capable of damaging healthy cells, tissues and organs. This phenomenon has not been observed in participants with sex more than once a week.
So many good reasons to give the intimate moments to the agenda.
