Reproductive functions are not paramount for the body, so regular sex can serve as an indirect sign that a person’s health is in order, sexologist Yevgeny Kulgavchuk said in an interview. Moreover, a harmonious sex life is an indicator of social well-being, he believes.
"Regular sex life is a marker of physical and mental health. After all, if a person has a serious physical illness or mental disorder, then sex fades into the background. Hormonal mechanisms push people to first deal with health, and then reproduction - when they have the strength , an excess of energy and a good mood. To some extent, a regular sex life indicates well-being, that everything is in order in a person’s life. For example, it confirms the effectiveness of his social skills, the ability to build and maintain relationships, "said Evgeny Kulgavchuk .
Systematic sex not only indicates well-being, but can also be a catalyst for new achievements, the expert continued.
A harmonious sex life supports the physical, mental and social functions of a person. A positive effect occurs through hormonal mechanisms. A whole ensemble of hormones is involved in building a sense of happiness with regular sexual activity. Nature generously rewards us for the implementation of the reproductive instinct with the help of oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin. At the same time, dopamine is responsible not only for anticipation and the reward system, but also for cognitive abilities. That is, this factor indirectly contributes to the brain working better," Yevgeny Kulgavchuk added.
