Boston Medical Group report underscores sexual health

LOS ANGELES Boston Medical Group, a national physician network specializing in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, on Monday released 10 leading reasons regular sexual activity can help improve men’s overall health.

“It’s a well-known stereotype that men don’t need more reasons to have sex, but it’s important to remember that regular sexual activity is more than recreational – good sexual health is vital to a man’s overall physical, psychological and emotional health,” stated Barry Buffman, a physician at Boston Medical Group. “Sex can benefit everything from a man’s short term mood, to longer term issues like cardiovascular health and the reduced risk of prostate cancer.”

The full list of health benefits includes continued intimacy health later into life; a 30% reduction in prostate cancer risk; increased testosterone production, which can strengthen bones and muscles; improved cardiovascular health; a boosted immunity system; pain relief; and better sleep.
