Researchers from Chapman University (California) conducted an experiment involving about 430 couples. The lovers were required to report on their sexual acts, specifying the duration of sex and their level of satisfaction.
Scientists analyzed the data obtained and concluded that for both partners to reach orgasm, sexual intercourse should last approximately 19 minutes. However, the average duration of intimacy, according to sexologists, may be only 12 minutes. This is the duration that specialists consider ideal and claim that it positively affects family life.
The Benefit Is in Regularity
Researchers from the University of San Francisco (California) conducted an experiment to determine whether there is a connection between the aging processes in women and their engagement in regular sex. American scientists emphasize that even if it does not bring pleasure to the woman, it still has a very positive effect on her body. But only if the woman engages in sex at least twice a week.
About 129 married women with children participated in the scientific experiment. Experts specifically took blood samples from the volunteers to avoid the influence of subjective factors related to appearance and established the length of telomeres in each participant. According to scientists, this indicator is the main one in determining the health status and degree of aging of the female body. Sexologists took into account the influence of stress, conflicts, mutual support, and relationship satisfaction; however, it was the regularity of sex that ultimately affected the length of telomeres. Accordingly, women who had regular sexual relations had significantly longer telomeres in their blood than other participants in the study.
Specialists also emphasized that regular intimate relationships strengthen stress resilience and have a beneficial effect on the immune system, resulting in a slowdown of the aging process in the female body.
