And so, apparently on SNL they were they 0:48 And so, apparently on SNL they were they 0:48 And so, apparently on SNL they were they were on to something. 0:49 were on to something. 0:49 were on to something. >> They were, I guess. 0:50 >> They were, I guess. 0:50 >> They were, I guess. >> That that if you if you purchase 0:51 >> That that if you if you purchase 0:51 >> That that if you if you purchase Schweddy balls uh 0:53 Schweddy balls uh 0:53 Schweddy balls uh you can live longer and you can live 0:54 you can live longer and you can live 0:54 you can live longer and you can live better. 0:55 better. 0:55 better. >> Yes. 0:56 >> Yes. 0:56 >> Yes. >> So,
Research Overview on Sex and Longevity 0:57 >> So, 0:57 >> So, >> I'm so confused by everything that just 0:58 >> I'm so confused by everything that just 0:58 >> I'm so confused by everything that just was said there, but yes. 0:59 was said there, but yes. 0:59 was said there, but yes. >> trying to tie it all in. Did it work? 1:01 >> trying to tie it all in. Did it work? 1:01 >> trying to tie it all in. Did it work? >> sure if it worked. 1:05 >> All right. Well, 1:05 >> All right. Well, >> makes us live longer and better. 1:07 >> makes us live longer and better. 1:07 >> makes us live longer and better. >> Yes. I mean 1:08 >> Yes. I mean 1:08 >> Yes. I mean you Right. I mean you would say 1:10 you Right. I mean you would say 1:10 you Right. I mean you would say >> That's it. Episode is over. 1:16 >> I think it's obvious that it makes 1:16 >> I think it's obvious that it makes things better. I mean it's I don't 1:18 things better. I mean it's I don't 1:18 things better. I mean it's I don't >> Healthy sex, healthy loving 1:20 >> Healthy sex, healthy loving 1:20 >> Healthy sex, healthy loving relationships, healthy intimacy. 1:22 relationships, healthy intimacy. 1:22 relationships, healthy intimacy. >> Yes. 1:22 >> Yes. 1:22 >> Yes. >> Yes. That's what we're talking about. 1:25 >> Yes. That's what we're talking about. 1:25 >> Yes. That's what we're talking about. >> So, um in usual fashion here, 1:28 >> So, um in usual fashion here, 1:28 >> So, um in usual fashion here, um I'd like to get into some of the the 1:31 um I'd like to get into some of the the 1:31 um I'd like to get into some of the the studies behind this because 1:33 studies behind this because 1:34 studies behind this because um we certainly can talk about the 1:35 um we certainly can talk about the 1:35 um we certainly can talk about the evidence behind this, the 1:36 evidence behind this, the 1:36 evidence behind this, the epidemiological evidence behind the fact 1:38 epidemiological evidence behind the fact 1:38 epidemiological evidence behind the fact that sex and more of it makes you live 1:41 that sex and more of it makes you live 1:41 that sex and more of it makes you live longer and how it kind of does. 1:43 longer and how it kind of does. 1:43 longer and how it kind of does. Um and then we can talk about some you 1:45 Um and then we can talk about some you 1:45 Um and then we can talk about some you know, practical 1:46 know, practical 1:46 know, practical effects of all of that and how everybody 1:49 effects of all of that and how everybody 1:50 effects of all of that and how everybody can like what does that do to your 1:51 can like what does that do to your 1:51 can like what does that do to your hormones, what does it do to your immune 1:53 hormones, what does it do to your immune 1:53 hormones, what does it do to your immune system and your heart, 1:55 system and your heart, 1:55 system and your heart, um how that all comes back to stress 1:56 um how that all comes back to stress 1:56 um how that all comes back to stress reduction and helping with your actual 1:58 reduction and helping with your actual 1:58 reduction and helping with your actual relationships and behavior. Um, and you 2:01 relationships and behavior. Um, and you 2:01 relationships and behavior. Um, and you know, relate that all back to something 2:03 know, relate that all back to something 2:03 know, relate that all back to something that's practical and what people um, 2:05 that's practical and what people um, 2:05 that's practical and what people um, maybe can do to live a little bit 2:07 maybe can do to live a little bit 2:07 maybe can do to live a little bit >> studies. 2:08 >> studies. 2:08 >> studies. 12 studies that you're citing. 2:10 12 studies that you're citing. 2:10 12 studies that you're citing. I mean, that's that's pretty impressive. 2:12 I mean, that's that's pretty impressive. 2:12 I mean, that's that's pretty impressive. That goes to show you 2:13 That goes to show you 2:13 That goes to show you and that's by no means all of the 2:15 and that's by no means all of the 2:15 and that's by no means all of the studies out there. Just goes to show you 2:16 studies out there. Just goes to show you 2:16 studies out there. Just goes to show you >> of them, yeah. 2:17 >> of them, yeah. 2:17 >> of them, yeah. >> This is a well-documented 2:20 >> This is a well-documented 2:20 >> This is a well-documented subject from a typical scientific 2:24 subject from a typical scientific 2:24 subject from a typical scientific um, 2:25 um, 2:25 um, experimental 2:27 experimental 2:27 experimental parameters, right? Not to mention 2:30 parameters, right? Not to mention 2:30 parameters, right? Not to mention 20 years of anecdotal evidence. 2:33 20 years of anecdotal evidence. 2:33 20 years of anecdotal evidence. So, 2:34 So, 2:34 So, >> Wha- what's the anecdotal evidence 2:35 >> Wha- what's the anecdotal evidence 2:35 >> Wha- what's the anecdotal evidence there? 2:36 there? 2:36 there? >> Well, I mean, working with couples for 2:38 >> Well, I mean, working with couples for 2:38 >> Well, I mean, working with couples for 20 years, we really can see 2:39 20 years, we really can see 2:39 20 years, we really can see >> Oh, I thought you were talking about us.
Womenu2019s Health Studies and Cardiovascular Benefits 2:41 >> Oh, I thought you were talking about us. 2:41 >> Oh, I thought you were talking about us. I really did for that moment. 2:43 I really did for that moment. 2:43 I really did for that moment. >> God, it's been Is it been Is it longer 2:45 >> God, it's been Is it been Is it longer 2:45 >> God, it's been Is it been Is it longer than that? 2:45 than that? 2:45 than that? >> I don't No, not longer. Geez, I'm not 2:47 >> I don't No, not longer. Geez, I'm not 2:47 >> I don't No, not longer. Geez, I'm not that old. Yeah, um, anyway, that. 2:51 that old. Yeah, um, anyway, that. 2:51 that old. Yeah, um, anyway, that. >> Well, if you were, you look amazing. 2:52 >> Well, if you were, you look amazing. 2:52 >> Well, if you were, you look amazing. >> Ah, thank you. I will, especially next 2:54 >> Ah, thank you. I will, especially next 2:54 >> Ah, thank you. I will, especially next week when I get my hair colored. I just 2:55 week when I get my hair colored. I just 2:55 week when I get my hair colored. I just keep saying that. Go ahead. 2:57 keep saying that. Go ahead. 2:57 keep saying that. Go ahead. >> You That's your disclaimer for today. 3:00 >> You That's your disclaimer for today. 3:00 >> You That's your disclaimer for today. Um, yeah, 3:01 Um, yeah, 3:01 Um, yeah, speaking of what you were saying, a lot 3:03 speaking of what you were saying, a lot 3:03 speaking of what you were saying, a lot of a lot of these studies go back, I 3:04 of a lot of these studies go back, I 3:04 of a lot of these studies go back, I mean, there was there was one from 1982 3:06 mean, there was there was one from 1982 3:06 mean, there was there was one from 1982 that in in men, of course, because most 3:09 that in in men, of course, because most 3:09 that in in men, of course, because most of the studies tend to be with guys, uh, 3:12 of the studies tend to be with guys, uh, 3:12 of the studies tend to be with guys, uh, that they're higher sexual frequency, 3:14 that they're higher sexual frequency, 3:14 that they're higher sexual frequency, they live longer. 3:16 they live longer. 3:16 they live longer. >> Wait, I'm sorry. I know that we want to 3:17 >> Wait, I'm sorry. I know that we want to 3:17 >> Wait, I'm sorry. I know that we want to stick to numbers, but why is that? Why 3:20 stick to numbers, but why is that? Why 3:20 stick to numbers, but why is that? Why do you think that most of these studies 3:22 do you think that most of these studies 3:22 do you think that most of these studies tend to be with men? Are they just 3:24 tend to be with men? Are they just 3:24 tend to be with men? Are they just easier to measure cuz they're more black 3:26 easier to measure cuz they're more black 3:26 easier to measure cuz they're more black and white or 3:27 and white or 3:27 and white or >> I think it was an availability 3:28 >> I think it was an availability 3:28 >> I think it was an availability situation. 3:30 situation. 3:30 situation. >> Like, what you Well, 3:31 >> Like, what you Well, 3:31 >> Like, what you Well, >> Back then, anyway. 3:32 >> Back then, anyway. 3:32 >> Back then, anyway. >> saying just in general, why do most 3:33 >> saying just in general, why do most 3:33 >> saying just in general, why do most studies, whether we're talking about sex 3:34 studies, whether we're talking about sex 3:34 studies, whether we're talking about sex or not, have to do with men, uh, that 3:37 or not, have to do with men, uh, that 3:37 or not, have to do with men, uh, that men are often the cohort, um, I think 3:40 men are often the cohort, um, I think 3:40 men are often the cohort, um, I think it's an availability thing. It it also 3:42 it's an availability thing. It it also 3:42 it's an availability thing. It it also also, a lot of times it would be, um, 3:45 also, a lot of times it would be, um, 3:45 also, a lot of times it would be, um, college aged men. So, they would go into 3:48 college aged men. So, they would go into 3:48 college aged men. So, they would go into colleges and just get these guys. 3:50 colleges and just get these guys. 3:50 colleges and just get these guys. >> Their orange juice and their $5 kind of 3:51 >> Their orange juice and their $5 kind of 3:52 >> Their orange juice and their $5 kind of a thing. 3:52 a thing. 3:52 a thing. >> Yeah, exactly. Exactly. They were just 3:53 >> Yeah, exactly. Exactly. They were just 3:53 >> Yeah, exactly. Exactly. They were just available right there. 3:54 available right there. 3:54 available right there. >> probably easier to get approved to do 3:56 >> probably easier to get approved to do 3:56 >> probably easier to get approved to do studies on men than women. I think women 3:58 studies on men than women. I think women 3:58 studies on men than women. I think women because of the um 4:01 because of the um 4:01 because of the um you know, because of fertility and 4:03 you know, because of fertility and 4:03 you know, because of fertility and anyway. 4:03 anyway. 4:03 anyway. >> Just curious. 4:04 >> Just curious. 4:04 >> Just curious. >> I don't exactly know, but um 4:06 >> I don't exactly know, but um 4:06 >> I don't exactly know, but um that's the the rough understanding. But 4:07 that's the the rough understanding. But 4:08 that's the the rough understanding. But anyway, 4:09 anyway, 4:09 anyway, another study here. This was tracking a 4:11 another study here. This was tracking a 4:11 another study here. This was tracking a thousand men over 10 years and they 4:13 thousand men over 10 years and they 4:14 thousand men over 10 years and they found a 50% reduction in overall 4:15 found a 50% reduction in overall 4:15 found a 50% reduction in overall mortality among those with a higher 4:17 mortality among those with a higher 4:18 mortality among those with a higher sexual frequency. 4:19 sexual frequency. 4:20 sexual frequency. Um Swedish studies. I mean, really, an 4:21 Um Swedish studies. I mean, really, an 4:21 Um Swedish studies. I mean, really, an Irish study. 4:22 Irish study. 4:22 Irish study. Um and what's interesting, 4:25 Um and what's interesting, 4:25 Um and what's interesting, the Women's Health Initiative study, 4:27 the Women's Health Initiative study, 4:27 the Women's Health Initiative study, that big uh study that we talk about 4:29 that big uh study that we talk about 4:29 that big uh study that we talk about quite a bit with uh breast cancer and 4:31 quite a bit with uh breast cancer and 4:31 quite a bit with uh breast cancer and estrogen therapy that we now know was 4:34 estrogen therapy that we now know was 4:34 estrogen therapy that we now know was all 4:35 all 4:35 all >> Bologna. 4:35 >> Bologna. 4:35 >> Bologna. >> largely [ __ ] correct? Um so, but 4:39 >> largely [ __ ] correct? Um so, but 4:39 >> largely [ __ ] correct? Um so, but there were a portion of Women's Health 4:40 there were a portion of Women's Health 4:40 there were a portion of Women's Health Initiative study was a massive study. 4:42 Initiative study was a massive study. 4:42 Initiative study was a massive study. They were looking at many different 4:43 They were looking at many different 4:43 They were looking at many different things. It wasn't just estrogen therapy. 4:46 things. It wasn't just estrogen therapy. 4:46 things. It wasn't just estrogen therapy. >> the it's not that the initiative itself 4:48 >> the it's not that the initiative itself 4:48 >> the it's not that the initiative itself is bogus. It's just that some of the 4:49 is bogus. It's just that some of the 4:49 is bogus. It's just that some of the conclusions have been proven to not be 4:51 conclusions have been proven to not be 4:51 conclusions have been proven to not be really relevant. 4:51 really relevant. 4:51 really relevant. >> Correct. And there was different what 4:52 >> Correct. And there was different what 4:52 >> Correct. And there was different what they call arms. So, there are different 4:54 they call arms. So, there are different 4:54 they call arms. So, there are different arms of what is the overall Women's 4:56 arms of what is the overall Women's 4:56 arms of what is the overall Women's Health Initiative study. One arm was 4:58 Health Initiative study. One arm was 4:58 Health Initiative study. One arm was specific to estrogen therapy for women 5:01 specific to estrogen therapy for women 5:01 specific to estrogen therapy for women and here's a different one where they 5:02 and here's a different one where they 5:03 and here's a different one where they were following 93,000 women 5:05 were following 93,000 women 5:05 were following 93,000 women >> nice. 5:06 >> nice. 5:06 >> nice. >> from 50 to 79 for an average of eight 5:09 >> from 50 to 79 for an average of eight 5:09 >> from 50 to 79 for an average of eight years and 5:10 years and 5:10 years and >> That's very 5:11 >> That's very 5:11 >> That's very >> no real surprise to us, but sexually 5:13 >> no real surprise to us, but sexually 5:13 >> no real surprise to us, but sexually active women showed a 36% 5:16 active women showed a 36% 5:16 active women showed a 36% decrease in cardiovascular mortality. 5:18 decrease in cardiovascular mortality. 5:18 decrease in cardiovascular mortality. >> And sexually active in this case meant
Hormones, Stress, and Immune Effects 5:21 >> And sexually active in this case meant 5:21 >> And sexually active in this case meant uh 5:21 uh 5:21 uh sexual intimacy at least one time a 5:23 sexual intimacy at least one time a 5:23 sexual intimacy at least one time a week. So, that's also not like 5:25 week. So, that's also not like 5:25 week. So, that's also not like >> It's not exactly. Exactly. I I was 5:27 >> It's not exactly. Exactly. I I was 5:27 >> It's not exactly. Exactly. I I was thinking that when I was looking at the 5:29 thinking that when I was looking at the 5:29 thinking that when I was looking at the notes and just wanted to make sure that 5:30 notes and just wanted to make sure that 5:30 notes and just wanted to make sure that we said that that these numbers for 5:32 we said that that these numbers for 5:32 we said that that these numbers for frequency is not really crazy. 5:35 frequency is not really crazy. 5:35 frequency is not really crazy. >> Also, let's just really take a minute to 5:37 >> Also, let's just really take a minute to 5:38 >> Also, let's just really take a minute to look at these numbers. They're aged 50 5:40 look at these numbers. They're aged 50 5:40 look at these numbers. They're aged 50 to 79 5:42 to 79 5:42 to 79 having sex at least one time a week and 5:44 having sex at least one time a week and 5:44 having sex at least one time a week and they had a 36% lower risk of 5:46 they had a 36% lower risk of 5:46 they had a 36% lower risk of cardiovascular activities. Um, uh, you 5:49 cardiovascular activities. Um, uh, you 5:49 cardiovascular activities. Um, uh, you know, mortality. I think that's amazing 5:51 know, mortality. I think that's amazing 5:51 know, mortality. I think that's amazing because that's also an older population. 5:53 because that's also an older population. 5:53 because that's also an older population. A lot of times we're thinking, "Oh, 5:54 A lot of times we're thinking, "Oh, 5:54 A lot of times we're thinking, "Oh, older people, 79-year-olds are not 5:56 older people, 79-year-olds are not 5:56 older people, 79-year-olds are not having sex that often." Uh, not our 5:58 having sex that often." Uh, not our 5:58 having sex that often." Uh, not our patients. 6:01 patients. 6:01 patients. >> I mean, well, they either they come in, 6:02 >> I mean, well, they either they come in, 6:02 >> I mean, well, they either they come in, uh, sometimes, you know, it's amazing. 6:04 uh, sometimes, you know, it's amazing. 6:04 uh, sometimes, you know, it's amazing. We were saying this the other day that, 6:06 We were saying this the other day that, 6:06 We were saying this the other day that, you know, patients come in already. 6:08 you know, patients come in already. 6:08 you know, patients come in already. They're pretty active. And they're there 6:11 They're pretty active. And they're there 6:11 They're pretty active. And they're there to be more active. 6:13 to be more active. 6:13 to be more active. >> it. 6:13 >> it. 6:13 >> it. >> Yeah, they're like, "Yeah, I'm now 75 6:15 >> Yeah, they're like, "Yeah, I'm now 75 6:15 >> Yeah, they're like, "Yeah, I'm now 75 and, you know, I love my husband. I want 6:17 and, you know, I love my husband. I want 6:17 and, you know, I love my husband. I want to make sure I'm maintaining this for as 6:19 to make sure I'm maintaining this for as 6:19 to make sure I'm maintaining this for as long as I possibly can." 6:20 long as I possibly can." 6:20 long as I possibly can." >> Yeah. 6:21 >> Yeah. 6:21 >> Yeah. >> And there's that motivation. Then 6:22 >> And there's that motivation. Then 6:22 >> And there's that motivation. Then there's many, many cases there they 6:24 there's many, many cases there they 6:24 there's many, many cases there they don't they're not having any sex and 6:25 don't they're not having any sex and 6:25 don't they're not having any sex and then we're we're helping with that. But 6:27 then we're we're helping with that. But 6:27 then we're we're helping with that. But sometimes they're just looking to really 6:28 sometimes they're just looking to really 6:28 sometimes they're just looking to really enhance what they've already got. They 6:30 enhance what they've already got. They 6:30 enhance what they've already got. They don't want it to go away. 6:31 don't want it to go away. 6:31 don't want it to go away. >> Mhm. 6:31 >> Mhm. 6:31 >> Mhm. >> They prioritized sex in their lives. 6:34 >> They prioritized sex in their lives. 6:34 >> They prioritized sex in their lives. >> Mhm. 6:35 >> Mhm. 6:35 >> Mhm. >> Huge, um, English longitudinal study, 6:38 >> Huge, um, English longitudinal study, 6:38 >> Huge, um, English longitudinal study, uh, for aging. Again, this was a 6:39 uh, for aging. Again, this was a 6:39 uh, for aging. Again, this was a female-specific analysis. About 2,400 6:42 female-specific analysis. About 2,400 6:42 female-specific analysis. About 2,400 women 50 to 89. 6:44 women 50 to 89. 6:44 women 50 to 89. >> Damn. 6:45 >> Damn. 6:45 >> Damn. >> And women reporting sexual activity in 6:46 >> And women reporting sexual activity in 6:46 >> And women reporting sexual activity in the previous year had significantly 6:48 the previous year had significantly 6:48 the previous year had significantly lower age-adjusted mortality rates. 6:51 lower age-adjusted mortality rates. 6:51 lower age-adjusted mortality rates. Um, so sexual satisfaction was 6:53 Um, so sexual satisfaction was 6:53 Um, so sexual satisfaction was independently associated with reduced 6:56 independently associated with reduced 6:56 independently associated with reduced all-cause mortality. I mean, this is 6:58 all-cause mortality. I mean, this is 6:58 all-cause mortality. I mean, this is just really 6:58 just really 6:58 just really >> So, that means that it didn't matter if 7:00 >> So, that means that it didn't matter if 7:00 >> So, that means that it didn't matter if it was good or not good. The fact that 7:02 it was good or not good. The fact that 7:02 it was good or not good. The fact that they were still doing it. 7:03 they were still doing it. 7:03 they were still doing it. >> did it. Yeah. So, sometimes you got to 7:05 >> did it. Yeah. So, sometimes you got to 7:05 >> did it. Yeah. So, sometimes you got to fake it till you make it. 7:06 fake it till you make it. 7:06 fake it till you make it. >> I mean, I think that's a great statistic 7:07 >> I mean, I think that's a great statistic 7:07 >> I mean, I think that's a great statistic because in other episodes we've talked 7:09 because in other episodes we've talked 7:09 because in other episodes we've talked about that notion of, you know, just get 7:10 about that notion of, you know, just get 7:10 about that notion of, you know, just get the quickie in. Like, just do it. It's 7:12 the quickie in. Like, just do it. It's 7:12 the quickie in. Like, just do it. It's so good for you. Well, here's another 7:13 so good for you. Well, here's another 7:13 so good for you. Well, here's another piece of data that says it's good for 7:16 piece of data that says it's good for 7:16 piece of data that says it's good for you even if it wasn't good. 7:17 you even if it wasn't good. 7:17 you even if it wasn't good. >> Right. Yeah, you'll get some benefit 7:19 >> Right. Yeah, you'll get some benefit 7:19 >> Right. Yeah, you'll get some benefit >> benefit out of it. 7:19 >> benefit out of it. 7:19 >> benefit out of it. >> No, it's like when the patient says, 7:20 >> No, it's like when the patient says, 7:20 >> No, it's like when the patient says, "Well, when I took take that vitamin C, 7:22 "Well, when I took take that vitamin C, 7:22 "Well, when I took take that vitamin C, you know, they don't you know, it was 7:24 you know, they don't you know, it was 7:24 you know, they don't you know, it was good for you.

It's exercise, so 7:41 It's exercise, so 7:41 It's exercise, so It's a good way to exercise. 7:43 It's a good way to exercise. 7:43 It's a good way to exercise. >> It's a little bit more than that, but 7:44 >> It's a little bit more than that, but 7:44 >> It's a little bit more than that, but let's let's not uh well, let's go 7:45 let's let's not uh well, let's go 7:45 let's let's not uh well, let's go through a few more of these studies 7:46 through a few more of these studies 7:46 through a few more of these studies before we talk about what's really 7:47 before we talk about what's really 7:47 before we talk about what's really happening inside your body for that 7:49 happening inside your body for that 7:49 happening inside your body for that that's making these benefits happen. 7:52 that's making these benefits happen. 7:52 that's making these benefits happen. Um another one See, yeah, there's plenty 7:54 Um another one See, yeah, there's plenty 7:54 Um another one See, yeah, there's plenty of studies here for women. It wasn't 7:55 of studies here for women. It wasn't 7:55 of studies here for women. It wasn't just a bunch of guys. Australian long 7:57 just a bunch of guys. Australian long 7:58 just a bunch of guys. Australian long shoot long longitudinal study on women's 8:00 shoot long longitudinal study on women's 8:00 shoot long longitudinal study on women's health uh 5,800 women aged 45 to 50. 8:04 health uh 5,800 women aged 45 to 50. 8:04 health uh 5,800 women aged 45 to 50.

Um yeah, again, here we are. 30% lower 8:51 Um yeah, again, here we are. 30% lower 8:51 Um yeah, again, here we are. 30% lower mortality risk and you know, roughly 8:53 mortality risk and you know, roughly 8:53 mortality risk and you know, roughly we're getting this third uh 8:56 we're getting this third uh 8:56 we're getting this third uh 1/3 improvement in mortality and helping 8:59 1/3 improvement in mortality and helping 8:59 1/3 improvement in mortality and helping with our cardiovascular health. 9:01 with our cardiovascular health. 9:01 with our cardiovascular health. In this particular study, sexual 9:03 In this particular study, sexual 9:03 In this particular study, sexual activity frequency was two times uh 9:05 activity frequency was two times uh 9:05 activity frequency was two times uh weekly versus uh less than monthly. 9:08 weekly versus uh less than monthly. 9:08 weekly versus uh less than monthly. >> Okay. 9:08 >> Okay. 9:08 >> Okay. >> Um so, a couple of times a week, one, 9:10 >> Um so, a couple of times a week, one, 9:10 >> Um so, a couple of times a week, one, maybe two times a week um is really not 9:14 maybe two times a week um is really not 9:14 maybe two times a week um is really not asking a lot of us, hopefully. 9:18 asking a lot of us, hopefully. 9:18 asking a lot of us, hopefully. Um yeah, and you know, there's there's 9:19 Um yeah, and you know, there's there's 9:20 Um yeah, and you know, there's there's others here. The midlife uh women's 9:21 others here. The midlife uh women's 9:21 others here. The midlife uh women's health study, Harvard's nurse health 9:24 health study, Harvard's nurse health 9:24 health study, Harvard's nurse health study. God, that one was 19,000 uh 9:27 study. God, that one was 19,000 uh 9:27 study. God, that one was 19,000 uh nurses. 9:28 nurses. 9:28 nurses. Um Harvard 9:29 Um Harvard 9:29 Um Harvard >> one to two times a week. 9:31 >> one to two times a week. 9:31 >> one to two times a week. >> Yeah. 9:31 >> Yeah. 9:31 >> Yeah. >> Yeah, it's 9:32 >> Yeah, it's 9:32 >> Yeah, it's >> And the 38% lower risk of fatal uh fatal 9:35 >> And the 38% lower risk of fatal uh fatal 9:36 >> And the 38% lower risk of fatal uh fatal uh, heart disease. So, again, we're 9:37 uh, heart disease. So, again, we're 9:37 uh, heart disease. So, again, we're getting this rough 1/3. I think that 9:39 getting this rough 1/3. I think that 9:39 getting this rough 1/3. I think that would be the the studies are kind of 9:42 would be the the studies are kind of 9:42 would be the the studies are kind of summarizing that roughly that you're 9:44 summarizing that roughly that you're 9:44 summarizing that roughly that you're you're going to get a third. 9:45 you're going to get a third. 9:45 you're going to get a third. >> And in the details of these studies, cuz 9:46 >> And in the details of these studies, cuz 9:46 >> And in the details of these studies, cuz we said you live longer and better. In 9:48 we said you live longer and better. In 9:48 we said you live longer and better. In the details of these studies, we're 9:49 the details of these studies, we're 9:49 the details of these studies, we're seeing not just reduced mortality uh, 9:52 seeing not just reduced mortality uh, 9:52 seeing not just reduced mortality uh, events, but we're also seeing reduction 9:55 events, but we're also seeing reduction 9:55 events, but we're also seeing reduction in symptoms like um, 9:57 in symptoms like um, 9:57 in symptoms like um, vaginal tone problems, like women 9:59 vaginal tone problems, like women 9:59 vaginal tone problems, like women complaining about prolapse, etc. We're 10:00 complaining about prolapse, etc. We're 10:01 complaining about prolapse, etc. We're seeing less cardiovascular disease. Like 10:03 seeing less cardiovascular disease. Like 10:03 seeing less cardiovascular disease. Like we're seeing things that actually affect 10:04 we're seeing things that actually affect 10:04 we're seeing things that actually affect your day-to-day, so your quality of life 10:06 your day-to-day, so your quality of life 10:06 your day-to-day, so your quality of life is improved by an overall health 10:08 is improved by an overall health 10:08 is improved by an overall health perspective as well. 10:09 perspective as well. 10:09 perspective as well. >> Yeah. Well, in this Harvard's nurse uh, 10:11 >> Yeah. Well, in this Harvard's nurse uh, 10:11 >> Yeah. Well, in this Harvard's nurse uh, health study, uh, they were able to uh, 10:13 health study, uh, they were able to uh, 10:13 health study, uh, they were able to uh, uh, 10:14 uh, 10:14 uh, calculate a 3.7 year improvement in in 10:17 calculate a 3.7 year improvement in in 10:17 calculate a 3.7 year improvement in in lifespan. 10:18 lifespan. 10:18 lifespan. >> Yeah, which is great. 10:19 >> Yeah, which is great. 10:19 >> Yeah, which is great. >> Yeah. 10:20 >> Yeah. 10:20 >> Yeah. Uh, the Koreans, uh, they did a women's 10:23 Uh, the Koreans, uh, they did a women's 10:23 Uh, the Koreans, uh, they did a women's cohort study, about 5,900 women over a 10:26 cohort study, about 5,900 women over a 10:26 cohort study, about 5,900 women over a 12-year period age 40 to 69. Um, same 10:30 12-year period age 40 to 69. Um, same 10:30 12-year period age 40 to 69. Um, same kind of concept. Um, 10:32 kind of concept. Um, 10:32 kind of concept. Um, you know, the 10:32 you know, the 10:32 you know, the sexual frequency in this showed what 10:34 sexual frequency in this showed what 10:34 sexual frequency in this showed what they said a dose-response relationship 10:36 they said a dose-response relationship 10:36 they said a dose-response relationship with mortality, meaning the more sex you 10:38 with mortality, meaning the more sex you 10:38 with mortality, meaning the more sex you had, the longer you were living. 10:41 had, the longer you were living. 10:41 had, the longer you were living. I think this is really fantastic. 10:42 I think this is really fantastic. 10:42 I think this is really fantastic. >> Mhm. 10:43 >> Mhm. 10:43 >> Mhm. >> Um, and so, I think the biggest takeaway 10:46 >> Um, and so, I think the biggest takeaway 10:46 >> Um, and so, I think the biggest takeaway here from a 10:48 here from a 10:48 here from a benefit to your body is your heart. 10:50 benefit to your body is your heart. 10:50 benefit to your body is your heart. Right. It's one of the biggest things. 10:51 Right. It's one of the biggest things. 10:51 Right. It's one of the biggest things. Like you said, it's it's it's exercise. 10:53 Like you said, it's it's it's exercise. 10:53 Like you said, it's it's it's exercise. >> How symbolic. 10:54 >> How symbolic. 10:55 >> How symbolic. >> Oh, yeah. 10:56 >> Oh, yeah. 10:56 >> Oh, yeah. Wouldn't want to die of a broken heart 10:57 Wouldn't want to die of a broken heart 10:58 Wouldn't want to die of a broken heart because you weren't having sex. So, have 11:00 because you weren't having sex. So, have 11:00 because you weren't having sex. So, have more sex, help your heart. So, what's 11:02 more sex, help your heart. So, what's 11:02 more sex, help your heart. So, what's really happening? That's what I think 11:03 really happening? That's what I think 11:03 really happening? That's what I think that's what's really exciting here. 11:06 that's what's really exciting here. 11:06 that's what's really exciting here. And you and I kind of understand this, 11:07 And you and I kind of understand this, 11:07 And you and I kind of understand this, but so people really understand the 11:09 but so people really understand the 11:09 but so people really understand the hormonal benefits here. Obviously, 11:12 hormonal benefits here. Obviously, 11:12 hormonal benefits here. Obviously, testosterone. 11:14 testosterone. 11:14 testosterone. We think sometimes that we need the 11:16 We think sometimes that we need the 11:16 We think sometimes that we need the replacement, and many, many, many times 11:18 replacement, and many, many, many times 11:18 replacement, and many, many, many times you do need actual replacement, but you 11:21 you do need actual replacement, but you 11:21 you do need actual replacement, but you can increase your own testosterone just 11:23 can increase your own testosterone just 11:23 can increase your own testosterone just through the actions of of sex. You need 11:25 through the actions of of sex. You need 11:25 through the actions of of sex. You need the testosterone to make you want to 11:27 the testosterone to make you want to 11:27 the testosterone to make you want to have sex, but by having the act of it 11:29 have sex, but by having the act of it 11:29 have sex, but by having the act of it helps to increase the testosterone. 11:32 helps to increase the testosterone. 11:32 helps to increase the testosterone. >> Right. 11:32 >> Right. 11:32 >> Right. >> True, but what happens is that people 11:35 >> True, but what happens is that people 11:35 >> True, but what happens is that people aren't living this way. They get 11:37 aren't living this way. They get 11:37 aren't living this way. They get deficient and then they need replacement 11:40 deficient and then they need replacement 11:40 deficient and then they need replacement to get out of this. Now, you and I have 11:42 to get out of this. Now, you and I have 11:42 to get out of this. Now, you and I have said on the podcast and with our 11:43 said on the podcast and with our 11:43 said on the podcast and with our patients over the years 11:45 patients over the years 11:45 patients over the years that once you start living healthier, 11:49 that once you start living healthier, 11:49 that once you start living healthier, you may find that you either become 11:51 you may find that you either become 11:51 you may find that you either become independent of HRT, whether it's thyroid 11:54 independent of HRT, whether it's thyroid 11:54 independent of HRT, whether it's thyroid or sex hormones or whatever, or you 11:55 or sex hormones or whatever, or you 11:55 or sex hormones or whatever, or you don't need as much, or you're not always 11:57 don't need as much, or you're not always 11:57 don't need as much, or you're not always chasing levels because your lifestyle is 12:00 chasing levels because your lifestyle is 12:00 chasing levels because your lifestyle is supporting healthy function. 12:01 supporting healthy function. 12:01 supporting healthy function. >> Yeah, that comes back to the concept of 12:03 >> Yeah, that comes back to the concept of 12:03 >> Yeah, that comes back to the concept of comprehensive care that we can't just 12:04 comprehensive care that we can't just 12:04 comprehensive care that we can't just look at it only as the hormone 12:06 look at it only as the hormone 12:06 look at it only as the hormone replacement therapy without considering 12:09 replacement therapy without considering 12:09 replacement therapy without considering other types of hormones, other aspects 12:11 other types of hormones, other aspects 12:11 other types of hormones, other aspects about your health, your heart, 12:12 about your health, your heart, 12:12 about your health, your heart, you know, your brain, you know, all the 12:14 you know, your brain, you know, all the 12:14 you know, your brain, you know, all the other things that we measure and try to 12:16 other things that we measure and try to 12:16 other things that we measure and try to help patients with with all these other 12:18 help patients with with all these other 12:18 help patients with with all these other tools that all in turn helps with more 12:20 tools that all in turn helps with more 12:20 tools that all in turn helps with more energy and more sex. 12:22 energy and more sex. 12:22 energy and more sex. >> Yep. 12:22 >> Yep. 12:22 >> Yep. >> So, estrogen, oxytocin is another big 12:25 >> So, estrogen, oxytocin is another big 12:25 >> So, estrogen, oxytocin is another big hormone that that is released and that's 12:27 hormone that that is released and that's 12:27 hormone that that is released and that's helping with stress and lowering 12:28 helping with stress and lowering 12:28 helping with stress and lowering inflammation. 12:30 inflammation. 12:30 inflammation. DHEA, so all of these hormones are 12:33 DHEA, so all of these hormones are 12:33 DHEA, so all of these hormones are getting activated through the active sex 12:36 getting activated through the active sex 12:36 getting activated through the active sex and then therefore helping to want to 12:38 and then therefore helping to want to 12:38 and then therefore helping to want to have sex more. 12:39 have sex more. 12:39 have sex more. >> Right. 12:40 >> Right. 12:40 >> Right. >> It's helping with your immune system. 12:43 >> It's helping with your immune system. 12:43 >> It's helping with your immune system. It's reducing inflammatory markers like 12:45 It's reducing inflammatory markers like 12:45 It's reducing inflammatory markers like interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, 12:47 interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, 12:47 interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, that's the one that we really look at 12:48 that's the one that we really look at 12:48 that's the one that we really look at quite a bit with our patients on lab 12:50 quite a bit with our patients on lab 12:50 quite a bit with our patients on lab work. Sex in and of itself is lowering 12:53 work. Sex in and of itself is lowering 12:53 work. Sex in and of itself is lowering overall systemic body-wide inflammation. 12:56 overall systemic body-wide inflammation. 12:56 overall systemic body-wide inflammation. And it's helping with decreasing your 12:58 And it's helping with decreasing your 12:59 And it's helping with decreasing your risk for infection.
Sexual Frequency, Gender Differences, and Practical Takeaways 13:00 risk for infection. 13:00 risk for infection. >> Mhm. 13:01 >> Mhm. 13:01 >> Mhm. >> And then we've already talked about 13:03 >> And then we've already talked about 13:03 >> And then we've already talked about that. 13:03 that. 13:03 that. >> for the common cold. 13:06 >> for the common cold. 13:06 >> for the common cold. >> Just have sex. 13:08 >> Just have sex. 13:08 >> Just have sex. >> We found it. 13:12 >> I knew it was out there somewhere. 13:12 >> I knew it was out there somewhere. It What What better place to be than 13:14 It What What better place to be than 13:14 It What What better place to be than sex? Um, cardiovascular effects, we've 13:16 sex? Um, cardiovascular effects, we've 13:16 sex? Um, cardiovascular effects, we've been saying that all along. It's It's 13:18 been saying that all along. It's It's 13:18 been saying that all along. It's It's really doing It's It's helping with your 13:20 really doing It's It's helping with your 13:20 really doing It's It's helping with your blood pressure. 13:21 blood pressure. 13:21 blood pressure. And endothelial function, that's back to 13:23 And endothelial function, that's back to 13:23 And endothelial function, that's back to that concept of the exercise, the 13:25 that concept of the exercise, the 13:25 that concept of the exercise, the endothelium, yeah, that lining the blood 13:27 endothelium, yeah, that lining the blood 13:27 endothelium, yeah, that lining the blood vessel 13:28 vessel 13:28 vessel and secreting nitric oxide. All of these 13:31 and secreting nitric oxide. All of these 13:31 and secreting nitric oxide. All of these things are 13:32 things are 13:32 things are dramatically improved through a little 13:34 dramatically improved through a little 13:34 dramatically improved through a little bit of sex. 13:36 bit of sex. 13:36 bit of sex. We're reducing stress. 13:39 We're reducing stress. 13:39 We're reducing stress. I think that's probably What What do you 13:40 I think that's probably What What do you 13:40 I think that's probably What What do you think about that? Do you think that's 13:41 think about that? Do you think that's 13:42 think about that? Do you think that's like a a stress reduction tool for 13:44 like a a stress reduction tool for 13:44 like a a stress reduction tool for people? 13:46 people? 13:46 people? >> I would say most people. Again, we're 13:47 >> I would say most people. Again, we're 13:47 >> I would say most people.

I should say I'm talking about intimacy. 13:51 I should say I'm talking about intimacy. 13:51 I should say I'm talking about intimacy. I mean I think they're talking about 13:53 I mean I think they're talking about 13:53 I mean I think they're talking about intimacy as well because they do talk 13:55 intimacy as well because they do talk 13:55 intimacy as well because they do talk about sexual satisfaction. Right? So, 13:58 about sexual satisfaction. Right? So, 13:58 about sexual satisfaction. Right? So, it's not just like 14:00 it's not just like 14:00 it's not just like emotionally detached intercourse. 14:02 emotionally detached intercourse. 14:02 emotionally detached intercourse. Okay? 14:03 Okay? 14:03 Okay? Um 14:04 Um 14:04 Um What were you going to say something? 14:05 What were you going to say something? 14:05 What were you going to say something? >> No. 14:06 >> No. 14:06 >> No. >> Oh, okay.

Remember, stress is not the same thing 14:35 Remember, stress is not the same thing 14:35 Remember, stress is not the same thing as stressors. Stressors are the things 14:38 as stressors. Stressors are the things 14:38 as stressors. Stressors are the things in our life that put pressure on us. 14:42 in our life that put pressure on us. 14:42 in our life that put pressure on us. Often, we can't control that. What we 14:44 Often, we can't control that. What we 14:44 Often, we can't control that. What we can control is our stress, which means 14:46 can control is our stress, which means 14:46 can control is our stress, which means our stress response. So, sex is a 14:49 our stress response. So, sex is a 14:49 our stress response. So, sex is a wonderful way to control our sex 14:51 wonderful way to control our sex 14:51 wonderful way to control our sex response regardless of how many 14:53 response regardless of how many 14:53 response regardless of how many stressors we have. 14:55 stressors we have. 14:55 stressors we have. >> Well said. So, if you're feeling 14:57 >> Well said. So, if you're feeling 14:57 >> Well said. So, if you're feeling stressed 14:58 stressed 14:58 stressed >> Boink. 14:59 >> Boink. 14:59 >> Boink. >> Correct. Get it out. 15:07 >> Ah, go ahead. 15:07 >> Ah, go ahead. >> Yeah, so relationship quality. That's 15:09 >> Yeah, so relationship quality. That's 15:09 >> Yeah, so relationship quality. That's what I When you were talking about all 15:10 what I When you were talking about all 15:10 what I When you were talking about all of that, that's kind of what I'm 15:11 of that, that's kind of what I'm 15:11 of that, that's kind of what I'm thinking that I I think both men and 15:13 thinking that I I think both men and 15:13 thinking that I I think both men and women um 15:15 women um 15:15 women um need that 15:17 need that 15:17 need that check-in with their partner. 15:18 check-in with their partner. 15:18 check-in with their partner. >> They need connection. 15:19 >> They need connection. 15:19 >> They need connection. >> connection to make sure that they know 15:21 >> connection to make sure that they know 15:21 >> connection to make sure that they know that everything's going to be okay and 15:23 that everything's going to be okay and 15:23 that everything's going to be okay and that's back to that response to stress. 15:25 that's back to that response to stress. 15:25 that's back to that response to stress. Um so relationship quality, social 15:27 Um so relationship quality, social 15:27 Um so relationship quality, social connection, that's a known longevity 15:30 connection, that's a known longevity 15:30 connection, that's a known longevity factor. We know, you know, when the 15:32 factor. We know, you know, when the 15:32 factor. We know, you know, when the we've talked before about the blue 15:33 we've talked before about the blue 15:33 we've talked before about the blue zones, those areas in the world where 15:35 zones, those areas in the world where 15:35 zones, those areas in the world where people live 100 or more. 15:38 people live 100 or more. 15:38 people live 100 or more. And so much of the reason of the as 15:40 And so much of the reason of the as 15:40 And so much of the reason of the as they've studied this, why do people live 15:42 they've studied this, why do people live 15:42 they've studied this, why do people live that long? Most of it's social 15:44 that long? Most of it's social 15:44 that long? Most of it's social connection. Most of it is. We think it's 15:46 connection. Most of it is. We think it's 15:46 connection. Most of it is. We think it's in in about diet and exercise and those 15:48 in in about diet and exercise and those 15:48 in in about diet and exercise and those things and those are extremely important 15:50 things and those are extremely important 15:50 things and those are extremely important but the majority of it that gets them 15:52 but the majority of it that gets them 15:52 but the majority of it that gets them really past that let's say 80 year mark 15:55 really past that let's say 80 year mark 15:55 really past that let's say 80 year mark up to the 100 year mark is that social 15:58 up to the 100 year mark is that social 15:58 up to the 100 year mark is that social connection that kind of runs 16:00 connection that kind of runs 16:00 connection that kind of runs through it. 16:00 through it. 16:00 through it. >> of purpose because of you have duty to 16:02 >> of purpose because of you have duty to 16:02 >> of purpose because of you have duty to others, that's probably one of the best 16:04 others, that's probably one of the best 16:04 others, that's probably one of the best things that you can do for yourself, so. 16:07 things that you can do for yourself, so. 16:07 things that you can do for yourself, so. Children and grandchildren and 16:08 Children and grandchildren and 16:08 Children and grandchildren and grandparents and community and all of 16:11 grandparents and community and all of 16:11 grandparents and community and all of that really does. 16:12 that really does. 16:12 that really does. >> particular case, your spouse, your 16:14 >> particular case, your spouse, your 16:14 >> particular case, your spouse, your partner, and that helps with that 16:17 partner, and that helps with that 16:17 partner, and that helps with that longevity factor for you. 16:19 longevity factor for you. 16:19 longevity factor for you. Um reduced loneliness, the same thing. 16:21 Um reduced loneliness, the same thing. 16:21 Um reduced loneliness, the same thing. Gosh, you know, it's always 16:23 Gosh, you know, it's always 16:23 Gosh, you know, it's always lonely is such a lonely word and it 16:26 lonely is such a lonely word and it 16:26 lonely is such a lonely word and it really makes it it's horrible. It really 16:27 really makes it it's horrible. It really 16:27 really makes it it's horrible. It really makes me think about COVID. 16:30 makes me think about COVID. 16:30 makes me think about COVID. And what that was such an important time 16:32 And what that was such an important time 16:32 And what that was such an important time where we really understood what 16:34 where we really understood what 16:34 where we really understood what loneliness was doing to people 16:36 loneliness was doing to people 16:36 loneliness was doing to people from young and old. 16:38 from young and old. 16:38 from young and old. >> Mental and physical. 16:39 >> Mental and physical. 16:39 >> Mental and physical. >> Correct. Um but definitely for the 16:41 >> Correct. Um but definitely for the 16:41 >> Correct. Um but definitely for the elderly, it's it's a known, you know, 16:44 elderly, it's it's a known, you know, 16:44 elderly, it's it's a known, you know, issue with their health of just feeling 16:45 issue with their health of just feeling 16:46 issue with their health of just feeling isolated and and lonely. 16:48 isolated and and lonely. 16:48 isolated and and lonely. Um 16:49 Um 16:50 Um So yeah, what's um in terms of some of 16:52 So yeah, what's um in terms of some of 16:52 So yeah, what's um in terms of some of the age and gender considerations here? 16:56 the age and gender considerations here? 16:56 the age and gender considerations here? Um 16:58 Um 16:58 Um Benefits of sexual activity in older 16:59 Benefits of sexual activity in older 16:59 Benefits of sexual activity in older adults 65 and older 17:02 adults 65 and older 17:02 adults 65 and older um 17:02 um 17:02 um is 17:04 is 17:04 is pretty clear in the research as well. 17:07 pretty clear in the research as well. 17:07 pretty clear in the research as well. Sexual activity changes with age and 17:09 Sexual activity changes with age and 17:09 Sexual activity changes with age and maintaining benefits. 17:11 maintaining benefits. 17:11 maintaining benefits. Um 17:12 Um 17:12 Um Yeah, the use it or lose it phenomenon 17:14 Yeah, the use it or lose it phenomenon 17:14 Yeah, the use it or lose it phenomenon in sexual health. I I that's what we 17:15 in sexual health. I I that's what we 17:15 in sexual health. I I that's what we were we were talking about in the very 17:16 were we were talking about in the very 17:16 were we were talking about in the very beginning. 17:17 beginning. 17:17 beginning. Um you got to just sometimes fake it 17:20 Um you got to just sometimes fake it 17:20 Um you got to just sometimes fake it till you make it. We've talked about the 17:21 till you make it. We've talked about the 17:21 till you make it. We've talked about the 30-day challenge. That's probably one of 17:23 30-day challenge. That's probably one of 17:23 30-day challenge. That's probably one of our 17:24 our 17:24 our favorite things to talk about for 17:26 favorite things to talk about for 17:26 favorite things to talk about for patients. You know, just have sex no 17:27 patients. You know, just have sex no 17:27 patients. You know, just have sex no matter what. It doesn't have to be 17:29 matter what. It doesn't have to be 17:29 matter what. It doesn't have to be hanging from the chandeliers or this 17:31 hanging from the chandeliers or this 17:31 hanging from the chandeliers or this whole production, but just make sure 17:32 whole production, but just make sure 17:32 whole production, but just make sure you've done something every single day 17:34 you've done something every single day 17:34 you've done something every single day for 30 days. It can be a massive shift 17:38 for 30 days. It can be a massive shift 17:38 for 30 days. It can be a massive shift for people in their relationship, but 17:39 for people in their relationship, but 17:39 for people in their relationship, but just the ability to say, "Well, I 17:40 just the ability to say, "Well, I 17:40 just the ability to say, "Well, I actually can have sex this much." And 17:43 actually can have sex this much." And 17:43 actually can have sex this much." And then it makes you want to have more sex. 17:44 then it makes you want to have more sex. 17:44 then it makes you want to have more sex. >> And get it out of your head that there's 17:46 >> And get it out of your head that there's 17:46 >> And get it out of your head that there's a number, there's an age at which people 17:48 a number, there's an age at which people 17:48 a number, there's an age at which people stop having intimacy. Like look at old 17:50 stop having intimacy. Like look at old 17:50 stop having intimacy. Like look at old people walking down the street and say, 17:53 people walking down the street and say, 17:53 people walking down the street and say, "Oh, man, I wonder how active their sex 17:54 "Oh, man, I wonder how active their sex 17:55 "Oh, man, I wonder how active their sex life." Instead of like thinking the 17:56 life." Instead of like thinking the 17:56 life." Instead of like thinking the opposite, instead of thinking they have 17:57 opposite, instead of thinking they have 17:57 opposite, instead of thinking they have cobwebs, you know? Because the reality 17:59 cobwebs, you know? Because the reality 18:00 cobwebs, you know? Because the reality is that there is no age at which one 18:02 is that there is no age at which one 18:02 is that there is no age at which one should stop having 18:04 should stop having 18:04 should stop having sexual intimacy. 18:05 sexual intimacy. 18:05 sexual intimacy. >> Yes. 18:06 >> Yes. 18:06 >> Yes. Men will benefit obviously from their 18:09 Men will benefit obviously from their 18:09 Men will benefit obviously from their testosterone. We already talked about 18:10 testosterone. We already talked about 18:10 testosterone. We already talked about that. Their prostate, 18:12 that. Their prostate, 18:12 that. Their prostate, that's probably one of the biggest 18:13 that's probably one of the biggest 18:13 that's probably one of the biggest things for guys. 18:14 things for guys. 18:14 things for guys. What we have learned with men and their 18:16 What we have learned with men and their 18:16 What we have learned with men and their prostate is that ejaculation is 18:19 prostate is that ejaculation is 18:19 prostate is that ejaculation is literally cleaning the pipes. 18:22 literally cleaning the pipes. 18:22 literally cleaning the pipes. And that if you don't do that frequently 18:24 And that if you don't do that frequently 18:24 And that if you don't do that frequently enough, you'll see an elevation in the 18:26 enough, you'll see an elevation in the 18:26 enough, you'll see an elevation in the PSA, prostate-specific antigen, in their 18:28 PSA, prostate-specific antigen, in their 18:28 PSA, prostate-specific antigen, in their blood work, and you'll see a an 18:30 blood work, and you'll see a an 18:30 blood work, and you'll see a an enlargement of the prostate itself 18:32 enlargement of the prostate itself 18:32 enlargement of the prostate itself because they're just not having frequent 18:35 because they're just not having frequent 18:35 because they're just not having frequent sex. 18:36 sex. 18:36 sex. >> And I would argue that the same is true 18:37 >> And I would argue that the same is true 18:37 >> And I would argue that the same is true for women. They just don't have it. I 18:39 for women. They just don't have it. I 18:39 for women. They just don't have it. I don't think there's as robust 18:41 don't think there's as robust 18:41 don't think there's as robust research around this concept, but I do 18:44 research around this concept, but I do 18:44 research around this concept, but I do find that women who suffer from urethral 18:46 find that women who suffer from urethral 18:46 find that women who suffer from urethral irritation and UTIs that having orgasm 18:49 irritation and UTIs that having orgasm 18:49 irritation and UTIs that having orgasm specifically, so with the woman it's not 18:51 specifically, so with the woman it's not 18:51 specifically, so with the woman it's not just about the sex at that point. They 18:53 just about the sex at that point. They 18:53 just about the sex at that point. They need orgasm, that the orgasm is flushing 18:56 need orgasm, that the orgasm is flushing 18:56 need orgasm, that the orgasm is flushing out their pipes. And women who orgasm 18:58 out their pipes. And women who orgasm 18:58 out their pipes. And women who orgasm more regularly are going to be less 19:01 more regularly are going to be less 19:01 more regularly are going to be less prone to the UTIs. 19:04 prone to the UTIs. 19:04 prone to the UTIs. >> And it also helps with 19:06 >> And it also helps with 19:06 >> And it also helps with just overall vaginal health, pelvic 19:08 just overall vaginal health, pelvic 19:08 just overall vaginal health, pelvic floor strength. 19:09 floor strength. 19:09 floor strength. >> And right tone, that's what I was going 19:10 >> And right tone, that's what I was going 19:10 >> And right tone, that's what I was going to say, yeah, that vaginal 19:12 to say, yeah, that vaginal 19:12 to say, yeah, that vaginal uh anatomy gets strengthened. 19:15 uh anatomy gets strengthened. 19:15 uh anatomy gets strengthened. >> So, you know, we we we keep saying sex, 19:18 >> So, you know, we we we keep saying sex, 19:18 >> So, you know, we we we keep saying sex, especially when we're talking about 19:19 especially when we're talking about 19:19 especially when we're talking about cleaning out the pipes. Does it 19:20 cleaning out the pipes. Does it 19:20 cleaning out the pipes. Does it necessarily mean that it has to be 19:22 necessarily mean that it has to be 19:22 necessarily mean that it has to be intercourse? What about masturbation? 19:24 intercourse? What about masturbation? 19:24 intercourse? What about masturbation? Does that count? Um but so the answer is 19:27 Does that count? Um but so the answer is 19:27 Does that count? Um but so the answer is yes, masturbation does count um for at 19:30 yes, masturbation does count um for at 19:30 yes, masturbation does count um for at least cleaning out the pipes uh for both 19:32 least cleaning out the pipes uh for both 19:32 least cleaning out the pipes uh for both men and women. So, it it if it is 19:34 men and women. So, it it if it is 19:34 men and women. So, it it if it is something that's available, it still is 19:36 something that's available, it still is 19:36 something that's available, it still is beneficial. 19:37 beneficial. 19:37 beneficial. >> Yeah. And right, obviously it 19:40 >> Yeah. And right, obviously it 19:40 >> Yeah. And right, obviously it when we're looking at women who are 80 19:42 when we're looking at women who are 80 19:42 when we're looking at women who are 80 years old and they're having sex, then 19:43 years old and they're having sex, then 19:43 years old and they're having sex, then we're thinking, well, that that implies 19:45 we're thinking, well, that that implies 19:45 we're thinking, well, that that implies that they have men that are around their 19:47 that they have men that are around their 19:47 that they have men that are around their age group that are having sex that are 19:48 age group that are having sex that are 19:48 age group that are having sex that are not suffering from erectile dysfunction. 19:50 not suffering from erectile dysfunction. 19:50 not suffering from erectile dysfunction. And unfortunately, erectile dysfunction 19:52 And unfortunately, erectile dysfunction 19:52 And unfortunately, erectile dysfunction is a rampant disease um at least in our 19:55 is a rampant disease um at least in our 19:55 is a rampant disease um at least in our country. So, you have to imagine that 19:58 country. So, you have to imagine that 19:58 country. So, you have to imagine that maybe sexual intimacy changes with age. 20:00 maybe sexual intimacy changes with age. 20:00 maybe sexual intimacy changes with age. Perhaps literally your bones, your 20:02 Perhaps literally your bones, your 20:02 Perhaps literally your bones, your muscles, your body, your back, whatever, 20:04 muscles, your body, your back, whatever, 20:04 muscles, your body, your back, whatever, the wear and tear on the body, maybe it 20:06 the wear and tear on the body, maybe it 20:06 the wear and tear on the body, maybe it forces you to change the way you're 20:07 forces you to change the way you're 20:07 forces you to change the way you're having intimacy, but still have that 20:09 having intimacy, but still have that 20:09 having intimacy, but still have that intimacy, still seek that connection and 20:12 intimacy, still seek that connection and 20:12 intimacy, still seek that connection and that orgasm. 20:13 that orgasm. 20:13 that orgasm. >> Yeah, there's there's an actual number. 20:15 >> Yeah, there's there's an actual number. 20:15 >> Yeah, there's there's an actual number. I'm just seeing the notes here reminding 20:17 I'm just seeing the notes here reminding 20:17 I'm just seeing the notes here reminding me. Men need orgasms at least once 20:19 me. Men need orgasms at least once 20:19 me. Men need orgasms at least once weekly, it sounds like both men and 20:21 weekly, it sounds like both men and 20:21 weekly, it sounds like both men and women are probably with the research 20:23 women are probably with the research 20:23 women are probably with the research that we just looked at in terms of 20:24 that we just looked at in terms of 20:24 that we just looked at in terms of satisfaction and helping with longevity. 20:27 satisfaction and helping with longevity. 20:27 satisfaction and helping with longevity. But with men, uh if they get 21 20:30 But with men, uh if they get 21 20:30 But with men, uh if they get 21 ejaculations per month, 20:31 ejaculations per month, 20:31 ejaculations per month, >> Right, you always say that. 20:32 >> Right, you always say that. 20:32 >> Right, you always say that. >> they massively lower their prostate 20:34 >> they massively lower their prostate 20:34 >> they massively lower their prostate cancer risk. Um so, that still could be 20:37 cancer risk. Um so, that still could be 20:37 cancer risk. Um so, that still could be with intercourse, it could be with 20:39 with intercourse, it could be with 20:39 with intercourse, it could be with masturbation, a combination of the two. 20:42 masturbation, a combination of the two. 20:42 masturbation, a combination of the two. Um yeah, for women, um this is a 2009 uh 20:47 Um yeah, for women, um this is a 2009 uh 20:47 Um yeah, for women, um this is a 2009 uh study from the Journal of Sexual 20:49 study from the Journal of Sexual 20:49 study from the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Um it was about one orgasm per 20:51 Medicine. Um it was about one orgasm per 20:52 Medicine. Um it was about one orgasm per week. And in this particular case in 20:53 week. And in this particular case in 20:53 week. And in this particular case in that particular study in 2009, it a 20:55 that particular study in 2009, it a 20:55 that particular study in 2009, it a higher frequency did not significantly 20:57 higher frequency did not significantly 20:57 higher frequency did not significantly increase benefit. 20:58 increase benefit. 20:58 increase benefit. >> I think we've seen through all the 21:00 >> I think we've seen through all the 21:00 >> I think we've seen through all the studies that we've looked at for various 21:02 studies that we've looked at for various 21:02 studies that we've looked at for various topics that women definitely have a 21:04 topics that women definitely have a 21:04 topics that women definitely have a lower need of lower physiologic need for 21:08 lower need of lower physiologic need for 21:08 lower need of lower physiologic need for um for sex, they're probably more of 21:10 um for sex, they're probably more of 21:10 um for sex, they're probably more of that one to two times a week. But we've 21:12 that one to two times a week. But we've 21:12 that one to two times a week. But we've talked about this idea of at least three 21:13 talked about this idea of at least three 21:14 talked about this idea of at least three times a week because we're talking about 21:16 times a week because we're talking about 21:16 times a week because we're talking about providing that regular connection. So I 21:19 providing that regular connection. So I 21:19 providing that regular connection. So I think 21:21 think 21:21 think when you're looking at just the data, 21:22 when you're looking at just the data, 21:22 when you're looking at just the data, one to two times for women is fine. But 21:25 one to two times for women is fine. But 21:25 one to two times for women is fine. But when we're talking about more of that um 21:29 when we're talking about more of that um 21:29 when we're talking about more of that um general health concept, that's where if 21:31 general health concept, that's where if 21:31 general health concept, that's where if you're doing it more than three times a 21:32 you're doing it more than three times a 21:32 you're doing it more than three times a week, you're keeping your partner 21:34 week, you're keeping your partner 21:34 week, you're keeping your partner healthier. 21:35 healthier. 21:35 healthier. And that's a benefit. 21:36 And that's a benefit. 21:37 And that's a benefit. >> Well, since you just said this, so I 21:38 >> Well, since you just said this, so I 21:38 >> Well, since you just said this, so I that sounds like a mathematical uh 21:41 that sounds like a mathematical uh 21:41 that sounds like a mathematical uh schism there. There's there's something 21:43 schism there. There's there's something 21:43 schism there. There's there's something you you got a mismatch? Yeah, I mean, 21:45 you you got a mismatch? Yeah, I mean, 21:45 you you got a mismatch? Yeah, I mean, how do how do we remedy that? So in a 21:47 how do how do we remedy that? So in a 21:47 how do how do we remedy that? So in a relationship, in a healthy relationship 21:49 relationship, in a healthy relationship 21:49 relationship, in a healthy relationship of a man and a woman, 21:51 of a man and a woman, 21:51 of a man and a woman, he's needing it three to four times 21:53 he's needing it three to four times 21:53 he's needing it three to four times physiologically, almost to what our 21:55 physiologically, almost to what our 21:55 physiologically, almost to what our argument is here. 21:56 argument is here. 21:56 argument is here. >> Mhm. 21:57 >> Mhm. 21:57 >> Mhm. >> Um and women, one to two times a week. 21:59 >> Um and women, one to two times a week. 21:59 >> Um and women, one to two times a week. How do we bridge the gap? 22:01 How do we bridge the gap? 22:01 How do we bridge the gap? >> Well, I think and these are very this is 22:04 >> Well, I think and these are very this is 22:04 >> Well, I think and these are very this is at a very primitive level, 22:06 at a very primitive level, 22:06 at a very primitive level, women are designed to be nurturers. 22:09 women are designed to be nurturers. 22:09 women are designed to be nurturers. Women are designed to be more selfless 22:13 Women are designed to be more selfless 22:13 Women are designed to be more selfless of themselves, of their bodies. So I do 22:17 of themselves, of their bodies. So I do 22:17 of themselves, of their bodies. So I do think women are designed to say, "This 22:20 think women are designed to say, "This 22:20 think women are designed to say, "This is what's good for my partner, therefore 22:23 is what's good for my partner, therefore 22:23 is what's good for my partner, therefore I will give of myself."

Correct. I mean, that's a very important 24:02 Correct. I mean, that's a very important 24:02 Correct. I mean, that's a very important It's a very important thing to recognize 24:04 It's a very important thing to recognize 24:04 It's a very important thing to recognize that perhaps 24:05 that perhaps 24:05 that perhaps um 24:06 um 24:06 um men This isn't necessarily true. I'm 24:09 men This isn't necessarily true. I'm 24:09 men This isn't necessarily true. I'm just using it for the purpose of 24:10 just using it for the purpose of 24:10 just using it for the purpose of illustration. Maybe men don't need the 24:12 illustration. Maybe men don't need the 24:12 illustration. Maybe men don't need the bed to be made every day or 5 days a 24:15 bed to be made every day or 5 days a 24:15 bed to be made every day or 5 days a week, but women need the bed to be made 24:17 week, but women need the bed to be made 24:17 week, but women need the bed to be made to be made whatever five times a week. 24:20 to be made whatever five times a week. 24:20 to be made whatever five times a week.

So, it is again that yin and 26:29 healthy. So, it is again that yin and 26:29 healthy. So, it is again that yin and yang. Like, the body has to be replete. 26:31 yang. Like, the body has to be replete. 26:31 yang. Like, the body has to be replete. The body has to be well rested. The You 26:33 The body has to be well rested. The You 26:33 The body has to be well rested. The You rest better when you have sex. When you 26:35 rest better when you have sex. When you 26:35 rest better when you have sex. When you have sex and you're rested, the sex is 26:37 have sex and you're rested, the sex is 26:37 have sex and you're rested, the sex is better. It's like, you know, this this 26:39 better. It's like, you know, this this 26:39 better. It's like, you know, this this positive feedback loop. When a person 26:41 positive feedback loop. When a person 26:41 positive feedback loop. When a person isn't feeling well, 26:43 isn't feeling well, 26:43 isn't feeling well, or they're sick, or they have chronic 26:45 or they're sick, or they have chronic 26:45 or they're sick, or they have chronic illness, then those numbers become a 26:47 illness, then those numbers become a 26:47 illness, then those numbers become a little bit variant. So, that is why the 26:49 little bit variant. So, that is why the 26:49 little bit variant. So, that is why the intimacy component is so important. If 26:52 intimacy component is so important. If 26:52 intimacy component is so important. If you don't have that intimacy, it becomes 26:54 you don't have that intimacy, it becomes 26:54 you don't have that intimacy, it becomes just a physiological requirement, and I 26:56 just a physiological requirement, and I 26:56 just a physiological requirement, and I do believe strongly that that's going to 26:58 do believe strongly that that's going to 26:59 do believe strongly that that's going to diminish the benefits. So, focus on 27:01 diminish the benefits. So, focus on 27:02 diminish the benefits. So, focus on intimacy and love, and then reap the 27:03 intimacy and love, and then reap the 27:03 intimacy and love, and then reap the benefits from frequent physical sex. 27:06 benefits from frequent physical sex. 27:06 benefits from frequent physical sex. >> And so, do you think then regular sexual 27:09 >> And so, do you think then regular sexual 27:09 >> And so, do you think then regular sexual intimacy helps couples to stay together? 27:11 intimacy helps couples to stay together? 27:11 intimacy helps couples to stay together?
