Study: Having Regular Sex Can Help Keep You From Getting Sick

As a resident of Southern California, I have a fairly limited understanding of the concept of weather. Aside from an outlying El Niño storm our winters are typically 70 degrees and sunny, but we still wear expensive coats and complain so we don’t feel left out. Unfortunately our friends in other parts of the country aren’t so lucky.

A recent blizzard brought record snowfall and freezing temperatures to parts of the Northeast United States. I got to live through the aftermath vicariously as all my affected friends were quick to post pictures of shitty, half-finished igloos and snow forts on social media. While everything is fun and games at the moment, there is only despair on the horizon.

Winter is notorious for eliciting depression as harsh weather can force people to be indoors for weeks at a time. To make matters worse, winter also welcomes cold and flu seasons to our lives increasing the consumption of herbal teas, vitamin C, and all manner of foul tasting zinc lozenges in hopes of preventing disease.

According to a study from the Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, there’s another way to prevent colds that doesn’t involve sucking on something gross (unless you want it to) as it was discovered that regular sex can help prevent the common cold. Hmm!

Their researchers found that those who have sex as frequently as once or twice a week had 30 percent higher levels of immunoglobulin, a molecule in the blood critical to preventing and fighting disease. That sounds pretty boring, but the point is people who fuck regularly are not only happier but physically healthier too.

There have been numerous studies that suggest regular sex is critical to improving one’s mood and fighting depression as well as improving overall health. In addition to being great cardiovascular exercise and a reason to stay in good shape, an active sex life helps balance hormones and chemicals in the brain that help people feel happy and think more clearly.

Sexual intercourse is basically a cure-all for every problem associated with winter.

Though several feet of snow and temperatures well below freezing will keep people in doors for the next few months they don’t have to give up on life until spring. For people with active sexual partners winter is the perfect time to get intimate and reap all the benefits of regular sex.

However if you’re entirely single you can simply fight depression by rapidly gaining weight and watching Netflix while blaming all your problems on the weather. I don’t have this luxury since I live in a hot climate, so I just blame all my problems on whichever political candidate I don’t like and hope nobody notices I don’t know what I’m talking about.
