When was the last time you had a night of raw, sexual intimacy with your partner? Your sex life may be going along quite nicely, but if you don’t allow for occasional nights of passion, your sexual wellness and wellbeing could fade over time.


 


One such couple were John and Susan. Like most couples, when they first got together they enjoyed a very fulfilling and frequent sex life. They said that they could spend the day together doing chores and exercising, and end it on the sofa planning to watch a DVD, but get sidetracked and end up having passionate sex on the settee instead of watching the film.


 


The couple’s early days were filled with frequent, heart-pounding and noisy sex. Both John and Susan had suffered in nearly sexless previous relationships so were more keen than most to explore their sexuality and enjoy their bodies. The passion extended to late night sexy texts, calls, online sex and many, many hours spent in bed.


 


After a while, however, the couple got more comfortable with one another and life become more busy. Susan got a new job and sex became less frequent and more of a forced occasion. John felt deeply threatened by this change in their relationship, and also felt that, mentally, the couple had become somewhat disconnected. He felt that if they had more sex, things would improve between them, but this led to Susan feeling pressurised to have sex, and actually made things worse.


 


John decided to seek help from a therapist, who invited him to try various things such as exercising together, using lubricant or a vibrator together. John also read a number of self-help books, which detailed various positions to try, and also emphasised the importance of taking the pressure off and making sure you have good sex rather than frequent sex.

If your wellness is affected by prostate problems, or you simply want to guard your wellbeing against prostate cancer, having lots of sex can help! There is a well-documented correlation between sex drive and prostate health. Sure, there are other natural ways to protect your prostate, but why would you pick Saw Palmetto when sex is a lot more fun?


Prostate problems affect over 30 million men, with over 230,000 men being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer every year. Prostate problems, which affect one in two men by the age of 50, cause symptoms such as:


  • Waking up frequently throughout the night to urinate

  • Decreased sexual satisfaction

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Decreased libido

So you can see how prostate health and sexual health are interlinked.


Your prostate is part of your sex organs which stops growing with puberty, but begins to grow again around the age of 40. For most of your life, your prostate is about the size of a walnut and surrounds your urethra, which is the tube that urine goes through from the bladder through the penis. When this small gland starts to grow, however, you can experience three issues; enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, and prostatitis. Your enlarged prostate squeezes the urethra, which leads to erectile dysfunction, but sex can help. There are pathogens present in prostatic fluid, which forms a major portion of the ejaculated sperm. So, if you have more sex, this means more ejaculations and an increased expulsion of these healing pathogens.


However, you shouldn’t wait until you have symptoms of prostate problems before you start taking care of your wellness (and with lots of sex on the cards, why would you want to?!). On an annual basis – at least from the age of 40 – you should get a simple blood test done known as the PSA test (prostate specific antigen). As the name suggests, this tests the antigen levels in your blood which, if abnormal, will require further testing such as a urinalysis, ultrasound, or biopsy. However, while medications are available, these should only be taken if you have severe symptoms, such as the inability to urinate, blood in your urine, severe discomfort, kidney damage or serious infection. In the meantime, grab your significant other and get down to it as often as possible – after all, it’s for your health!
