However, there’s a fine line between enough and overdoing it, and crossing it could mean health risks rather than benefits.

These findings were highlighted in a paper published in the Journal of Scientific Reports last December. The researchers emphasized that sexual activity can serve as an important indicator of general health and well-being.

For instance, having sex more than once a day was flagged as a point where potential downsides begin to outweigh the benefits.

“In fact, high levels of aerobic exercise may detract from the significant health benefits observed with moderate levels.”
