You might have seen headlines, or even read articles that tout the immunity-boosting benefits of sex. Well, it turns out the benefits don’t stop there, particularly when it comes to your mental health. Yet, sadly our sexual activity is lower today than it has been in previous generations, which made us ask “could a lack of sex put your mental health at risk?” In this week’s episode, we’re answering that question and sharing how much sex you should be having for your mental health. Let’s dive in!
