What sex can do in your Life- Expert reveals

Expert reveal having intercourse thrice a week makes you five years younger, increase life expectancy

According to a new study by Dr. David Weeks, a clinical psychologist and former head of old-age psychology at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, having regular intercourse can actually make you look five to seven years younger.

That’s right, instead of shelling out for expensive night creams, face masks, and moisturizers; we could just be getting busy.

Dr. Weeks has spent the better part of a decade getting to the bottom of benefits, and along the way, he interviewed thousands of men and women of all ages about their frequency.

And, among respondents, those who appeared the youngest were having up to 50 percent intercourse, around three times per week. The study even found that intercourse can expand your life expectancy.

Of course, the most crucial factor in preserving your good looks comes from experiencing pleasurable intercourse, so you won’t cure your wrinkles with just any ol’ romp. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to hit Victoria’s Secret, and then to clear out our beauty cabinets. (Huffington Post)
