Studies and research show that sexual health is an important part of our life and overall well-being. It has physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual and social benefits. Sex is not just for reproduction. As well as pleasurable, it strengthens bonding, trust, intimacy and love in our relationship.
“In Ikaria, Greece — one of the regions of the world where people live significantly longer than average — more than 80 percent of people ages 65 to 100 are having sex, according to Blue Zones, an organisation that researches the world’s longest-lived cultures”.
