“Regular sexual activity boosts testosterone and estrogen levels in both sexes. In addition to boosting your sex drive, testosterone also fortifies bones and muscles. Some physicians believe testosterone has an important role in keeping the heart healthy and good cholesterol high.

(Safe) sex increases women's estrogen levels, keeping vaginal tissues supple and also protecting against heart disease.

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone produced naturally by the adrenal glands that is similar structurally to testosterone, estrogen and progesterone. DHEA has a huge array of functions, one of which includes promoting sexual excitement. DHEA is secreted throughout the body during intercourse, and during orgasms or immediately prior to ejaculation its levels increase to five times normal levels.
