For men, ejaculating 21 times a month significantly lowers the risk of prostate cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also helps burn calories, making it a good option for those who are overweight or obese, as it acts like regular exercise when performed at least three times a week on alternate days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdditionally, it can help lower high blood sugar levels,\u201d Adewumi stated.<\/p>\n<p>Adewumi further emphasised that regular sex contributed to better mental health by reducing the risk of depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that it enhanced brain function, leading to improved productivity and career fulfilment.<\/p>\n<p>In relation to pregnancy, Adewumi explained that pregnant women who engaged in regular sex tend to experience easier labour and quicker post-delivery recovery.He added that women who had more frequent sex during pregnancy were more likely to have smoother deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSexual activity also fosters emotional well-being by increasing intimacy and love between couples.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCouples who have regular sex tend to be happier, more logical, and less irritable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can help reduce loneliness, make arguments less frequent, and even improve memory and cognitive function,\u201d said Adewumi.<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed out that couples who maintain a healthy sexual relationship had stronger bonds with others, both socially and at work.<\/p>\n<p>For\u00a0 women, Adewumi recommended having regular sex a few days before their menstrual cycle begins, as it could help reduce cramps.<\/p>\n<p>While highlighting the numerous benefits of regular sex, Adewumi emphasised the importance of engaging in it within the context of a committed relationship.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that this approach helped protect individuals from sexually transmitted diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), herpes, and hepatitis.<\/p>\n<p>By focusing on a monogamous relationship, Adewumi noted, individuals could significantly reduce their risk of exposure to these harmful infections.<\/p>\n<p>Adewumi\u2019s advice underscores the significant physical, emotional, and psychological benefits of regular sexual activity, particularly when practiced with a partner.
