Having sex regularly can do more than make you feel closer to your partner—it can actually make you physically healthier! Here are 5 health benefits of making love:

1. Boosts Your Immune System. People who have sex frequently have higher levels of what defends your body against viruses.

2. Boosts Your Libido. The more you have sex, the more often you crave it!

3. Improves Bladder Control. Good sex is like a workout for your pelvic floor muscles. When you have an orgasm, it causes contractions in those muscles, which strengthens them.

4. Lowers Heart Attack Risk. A good sex life is good for your heart. During one study, men who had sex at least twice a week were half as likely to die of heart disease as men who had sex rarely.

5. May Make Prostate Cancer Less Likely. Going for the gusto may help ward off prostate cancer. Men who ejaculated frequently were less likely to get prostate cancer during one study. (source http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/guide)
