There are a lot of fringe benefits to a healthy sex life. Ian Curner, of Good In Bed, has 7 reasons for us to get in the mood:

• Get Happy. Sex boosts self-esteem, confidence and contentment.

• Weight loss. Intimacy increases the heart rate and burns about 5 calories per minute.

• Lower blood pressure – after the act. People who have been sexually active in the past two weeks have the lowest blood pressure readings.

• Heart health. Sexually active men are HALF as likely to suffer heart attack or stroke.

• Longer life. Both genders benefit – and researchers say women with happy sex lives live 8 years longer than those who are indifferent towards sex.
