The study did not examine how sexual activity affected women's heart health.
Researchers in Massachusetts have wrapped up a study on sex that finds having frequent sex can dramatically cut a man's risk of heart disease.In fact, those who had sex at least twice a week were up to 45 percent less likely to develop life-threatening heart problems than those who had sex once a month or less. Researchers say the results are due to the fact that sex has both emotional and physical benefits.
