Why should you enjoy more sex? (Apart from fun, I mean.) Because, according to several recent studies helpfully reviewed in this Forbes article, more sex may help you: run a lower risk of heart attacks and strokes, develop stronger bones and muscles, suffer less depression, and fight off colds and flues more effectively. Sex-rich men seem to get prostrate cancer less frequently; their female counterparts have an easier time with PMS.
Can you get too much of this good thing? Here's the self-same article's surprising take: "If you're female, probably not. If you're male? You betcha." I'm no economist, but I sense a supply/demand mismatch.
I hasten to add that these benefits speak only to the physiological effects of increased sex—not the emotional, philosophical, or financial ones. Also, these results assume away the problems of STDs. Still, though, I think it a community service of sorts to spread the good word about sex. Some of you single fellows might want to tuck a copy of the article into your wallets, next to your condoms, keeping the former ready at-hand should you find the latter sadly underused. Of course, if you really want to enjoy more sex, you ought to get married.

Prostrate cancer? That's not to be taken lying down!
But what if you're prone to that sort of thing?
bell, you mean this is for real? all along i thought you were just telling me that stuff because you were trying to pick up on me.
What's the diff? The lines seem to work, regardless!
Seriously, Tom, this is really bad strategy. Would you advertise your restaurant by talking about how healthy and nutritious the food was? No way! You'd talk about how exciting and delicious it was! And likewise for sex. With all this "sex is good for you" talk, you'll be lucky if you don't scare off all the ladies. Luckily for you, your wife apparently didn't think you were serious about all that boring health-stuff.
and frankly glen, i'd prefer that he scared off all the (other) ladies.
Don't prejudge the market, Glen! Some restaurants plainly think it advantageous to advertise both the taste *and* the healthful side-effects of their offerings. See, e.g., Subway's ads featuring that fellow who slimmed down on their sandwiches. Nor is this marketing ploy limited to downscale eateries; I've seen plenty of menus at nice, sit-down restaurants with "heart healthy" indicators. The lesson: To maximize your sales, and satisfy your customers, sell both the sizzle *and* the zero-trans fats.
dgm: Even it I didn't scare off the other ladies, I'm sure that the prospect of incurring your wrath would. Having your eyes clawed out just cannot be good for your health.
