I'd take this less seriously than other research that's been posted. Psychology Today seems to give their writers space to do with as they please, and they publish a lot of articles with contradictory findings as a result. Still I'm sure there's a grain of truth here.
For example, that if you are having sex twice a week you can experience the equivalent of being two years younger than your chronological age. And that there is a significant enhancement in the health and efficiency of the heart, respiration, muscle strength, as well other organs in the body.
...
The results of their studies showed that those who had sex three times a week or more cut their risk for heart attack and stroke by 50%.
