Having sex comes with a variety ofHealth benefitsIncluding boosting your immune system, reducing your risk of heart attack, easing stress and evenboost your brain health. Now a new study published in the journalRoyal Society science open revealed another boom: have more sex may also delay menopause.

Researchers from University College College analyzed a decade of data on nearly 3,000 womenIn the 40 and 50 in the USA. They found that those who hadSex on a weekly basis 28% were less likely to experience menopause than those who had sex less than once a month. And those who had sex monthly were still 19% less likely to experience menopause compared with those who had less sex often than that. (In the study, sexual activity was defined as sexual intercourse, oral sex, sexual touching or masturbation.)

The researchers theorize that the reason for the link may be that if aWoman has no genderThe body may stop investing energy in ovulation, leading to menopause.

"The findings of our study suggest that if a woman does not have sex and the body" chooses "not to invest in ovulation, because it would be useless"Megan arnot, A doctoral candidate in anthropology at University College London and author of the study author, said in adeclaration.

"Menopause is an inevitable course for women and no behavioral intervention that will prevent the cessation of reproduction"Ruth maceProfessor of Evolutionary Anthropology at University College London, said in a statement. "Nevertheless, these results provide an initial initiation menopause that the synchronization can be adaptive in response to the probability of becoming pregnant."

Of course, the reproduction is not the only reason to have sex, which, for the record, you can continue to have good after going through menopause. In fact, recent research has shown thatpeople over 65 could have the best sex of all!
