Can sex save your life?

Raise your hand if you've ever started to feel bad about yourself after going, say, five months without sex. Not that we would happen to know from experience or anything that going a period of more than a few months can be a blow to the self esteem. If you're the kind of person who has frequent dry spells, you know your entire world view is changed when you finally get laid.  

Getting laid also aids in stress management, burns calories, helps you get more and better sleep, and can possibly combat the chance of developing certain cancers, like breast and prostate.

If you're one of those people who has learned that, apparently, summer isn't always for lovers, read this article entitled 'Could sex save your life?' to make you feel bad about all of the many, many benefits of sex you're missing out on. And if you really care about your health and mental well-being, you better find somebody to love. Or find a hobby.
