In this brief health advisory, Dr. Anne Truong explains that a noticeable decline in sexual activity can serve as an early warning sign for future health problems, specifically highlighting an increased risk of erectile dysfunction and heart disease within the next five to ten years. She emphasizes a bidirectional relationship: while regular sexual activity can promote better health, poor health can diminish sexual desire, potentially amplifying negative outcomes. Dr. Truong lists several health benefits associated with consistent sexual activity, including longer lifespan, reduced risk of stroke and heart attack, improved mood and happiness, enhanced immune function, lower rates of depression and stress, decreased cancer risk, and better focus.

You live longer, less chance of of stroke, less chance of having heart attack. You're more happy, increased immunity. You're less depressed, you're less stressed, and you have less chance of cancer and more chances of happiness and probably better focus as well.
