JAKARTA - A study reveals that men should have sex twice a week if they want to reduce the risk of developing serious health problems. Having sex, both with your partner and with yourself, turns out to bring many benefits. Starting from reducing stress and anxiety, helping to sleep more soundly, to improving the body's immune system.

On the other hand, there are also benefits from a longer 'soft' sex, maybe that's why some people joined the No Nut trend in November. However, people's attitudes towards sex are now increasingly open.

Many people are more comfortable sharing stories about their bed life, although not all of them need to be used as content.

Reporting from the lambible page, for those of you who have been with your partner for a long time or feel inspired by certain figures, the 2010 study shows that the minimum frequency that men should aim at is twice a week.

Of course, twice a week can sound a lot or a little, depending on the age and relationship status of a person. But that figure is considered ideal if a man wants to lower the risk of cardiovascular problems such as a heart attack.

The study involved more than 1,000 men in America. The result is that men who have sex regularly have a 45 percent lower risk of developing life-threatening heart disease than those who do it once a month or less.

Scientists at the New England Research Institute, Massachusetts explained the benefits of sex may stem from physical and emotional effects on the body.

They research men aged 40 to 70 by considering age, weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, all that can affect the risk of heart disease.

For 16 years, participants were asked to report how often they had sex and underwent periodic heart health checks.

Overall, men who have the desire and ability to have sex regularly tend to have healthier body conditions.

For those who want to maintain heart health but do not have a partner or social ability that supports sexual activity, don't worry. A doctor has also explained how often defocation is considered sufficient to keep the body working well.

If twice a week it still feels less, it doesn't matter to increase the frequency. In the end, cardio activities always provide benefits for heart health.
