Healthwise

Do it for your health. Do it for your teeth. Do it for your loved one. Just do it.

(But if you’re a man, don’t do it too much.)

Forbes magazine sums up the current medical thinking on sex. The bottom line: if you’re not risking STDs, it’s great for your health. Among other things. Reduced mortality rates in general, improved sense of smell, reduced risk of heart disease, weight loss, overall fitness, reduced depression, pain relief, less frequent colds and flu, better bladder control, better teeth, reduced prostate cancer …

Heck, if they could bottle it, they’d make a mint.

The dental benefits passage deserves quoting:

Seminal plasma contains zinc, calcium and other minerals shown to retard tooth decay. Since this is a family Web site, we will omit discussion of the mineral delivery system. Suffice it to say that it could be a far richer, more complex and more satisfying experience than squeezing a tube of Crest–even Tartar Control Crest. Researchers have noted, parenthetically, that sexual etiquette usually demands the brushing of one’s teeth before and/or after intimacy, which, by itself, would help promote better oral hygiene.

‘Nuff said.
