How Active Sexual Intercourse Makes You Look 7 Years Younger Than Your Real Age


Active sexual intercourse or mating or copulation or better still sex, has so many roles to play in the marital lives of husbands and their wives, according to a health specialist.

Some men and women do complain their spouses have occasional sex with them due to so much commitment to daily office work. This is a big threat to both couples and even their own health benefits.

According to Punch, Chairman, Association for Advancement of Family Planning, Dr. Ejike Orji, stated that men and women who maintain active sex life often look between five and seven years younger than their actual ages.

He noted that consensual sex boosts the immune system, keeps the skin glowing and reduces stress.

The physician made disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Abuja.



Orji defined ‘consensual sex’ as one that is permitted by both sexes involved in the act.

He, however, noted that if someone became incoherent under the influence of drugs or alcohol, that person could not be said to be of sound mind to consent to the sexual act.

According to him, the endorphins released during sex helps in boosting the immune system of human beings.

He said that couples, who engaged in regular consensual sex were likely to live longer than those ”who do not engage in it.”

Orji noted that the endorphins that is released during sexual intercourse also helps in the improvement of all the organs in the body, saying that it could make a person look younger.

He emphasised that research conducted by some scientists in London revealed that men and women who had an active sex life looked between five and seven years younger than their actual ages.

The expert argued that the study also showed that men, who had sex at least twice a week, were up to 45 per cent less likely to develop life-threatening heart conditions than men, who had sex less than once a month.

He noted that the benefits of sex could be both physical and emotional, saying that those who indulged in regular sex were likely to display an increase in cranial nerve growth.



According to him, cranial nerve growth is crucial for mental alertness and improvement in brain functions.

Orji, who said that sex could reduce the risk of prostate cancer development, emphasised that men who had more sexual intercourse were less likely to develop prostate cancer.

“I, therefore, enjoin couples to engage in consensual sex because it helps to reduce stress as well as provide full body exercise.

“Having sex involves all the muscles in the human body, which thereby helps in the improvement and function of the body system,” he said.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
