The researchers controlled for multiple variables in the study and concluded that having sex more frequently actually improves your body’s physiological response to stress. This, in turn, keeps one’s blood pressure at a lower base level.

A 2010 studies published in the American Journal of Cardiology found that men who have sex at least twice a week almost cut their risk of heart disease in half.
