Besides the obvious reasons, sex is good for you

This article was happened upon by accident;  I figured as a public service I'd provide a link and a summary.  And a position, as a bonus.  

The Hidden Health Benefits of Sex

1. "it can actually make you physically healthier"
2. "people who had intercourse at least once over two weeks were better able to manage stressful situations"
3. Sounder Sleep -  "It's downright dreamy how an Orgasm can lull you to sleep"
4.  Pain relief - "The surge of hormones released after an orgasm can help ease any annoying ache, whether it's a strained back or a head pounder"
5. Fewer colds - " People who have sex were found to have higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A (IgA)"
6. "Regular sex promotes the release of hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, which can keep the body looking young and vital"
7. Lighter Periods (with Fewer Cramps)
8. "cardiologists consider sexual activity comparable to a modest workout on a treadmill"

 Tonight's prescription is called the "Leap Frog"
