What would Valentine’s Day be without an opportunity to mention the three-letter word that gets everyone so riled up? Yes, you guessed it–I’m talking about a little S-E-X. So, let’s chat, shall we? Beyond being just one-heck-of-good-time, medical studies report that an active sex life contributes to a longer and more fulfilling life. So come on, everybody’s doing it (or at least the lucky ones), and here are five reasons for you to join in:
1. Sex boosts your immune system. “Honey, I have a headache,” may now be the best reason to have sex! A startling number of physicians are now recognizing how sexual and emotional health affect our entire well being. In other words, how our brain directly impacts our immune system. “We know that people who enjoy a regular, satisfying sex life (i.e. regular orgasms) are less stressed, less depressed and generally more well physically, mentally and emotionally,” says Wendy Strgar, loveologist and CEO of Good Clean Love. In a recent article, Dr. Paul Pearsall, director of Behavioral Medicine at Detroit’s Beaumont Hospital, concludes that many of his patients had experienced sexual dissatisfaction prior to a heart attack. He also claims that sexual contentment leads to less severe headaches and reduced discomfort from arthritis in both genders. (Read about 6 other weird ways to boost your immunity!)

i am also like sex but yet i have wait till my marriage happen.
I have read most of the comments posted and at this stage I am more inclined to side with the view expressed by Robert K which is well laid out. I couldn't have said it any better.
Good reasons! Now to just get my partner to listen. lol
Sex is highly over rated, and has been taken over as the pre-eminent marketing tool for everything from chewing gum to gym socks and boxers. Sex without LOVE is doing nothing but lowering ones self to the lowest common denominator of that of an animal, of function only and nothing else.
Too many people are satisfied to be animals and have sex for the gratification of the senses and animal urges, all without any feelings or needs of love. Those who have found their love, can have their sex or not, and there will still be gratification, but on a level that animals will never achieve, relish. or understand.
One's mind is a greater sex organ than anything one carries in one's pants. Though I would never expect the juvenile wit of a "jock", or "teenie-bopper cheerleader" to understand such a premise (this reference would include those ilk of any age).
Beautiful :]
My Higher Power is all for sex.
After all He made it.
Tells me it will keep me young.
Well something turned my gray hair brown!!!
Did you know that in Deuteronomy - no, I better not say that. It might blow your mind.
Nobody, as far as I can tell, except those wonderful atheists who can teach us so much about our own Bibles, would dream what's in that book.
And I'd better not say.
Here's a hint. It has to do with dividing up the booty!
LOL LOL LOL
And it's my favorite fantasy.
LORD KAL, I love you.
