No, really. Forbes says so. Not that shocking of an article, but it does contain this following gem, as the article describes that having sex several times a week helps with certain health issues, such as:
Better teeth: Seminal plasma contains zinc, calcium and other minerals shown to retard tooth decay. Since this is a family Web site, we will omit discussion of the mineral delivery system. Suffice it to say that it could be a far richer, more complex and more satisfying experience than squeezing a tube of Crest--even Tartar Control Crest...

As for men, urologist Eid says it's definitely possible to get too much of a good thing, now that drugs such as Viagra and Levitra have given men far more staying power than may actually be good for them.
If you do not allow the penis to rest, then the muscle tissue does not get enough oxygen. The individual gets prolonged erections, gets decreased oxygen to tissue, and could potentially suffer priapism [look it up boys].
i learned it from the forbes article actually. but whether i learn these things from my men at the goddess or from my medical school books should not matter....as long as i'm finding out this information! i think the forbes article has finally convinced me to have sex...you know...for the health of it all.
