Just think of the health benefits sex provides
If you’ve gone off sex , it’s worth ¬rekindling an interest if only for the health benefits. “Orgasm stimulates production of the body’s natural killer cells, which fight infection, boost immunity and even offer some ¬protection against cancer,” says ¬psychotherapist Marisa Peer, author of You Can Be Younger.
