Research on sexual health and well-being
Overview
Scientific research has highlighted various physical and psychological health benefits associated with sexual activity. Studies indicate that regular sexual contact can reduce stress and anxiety by triggering the release of oxytocin and endorphins, which counteract cortisol levels. It is also linked to improved sleep quality and cardiovascular health, with research suggesting that for women, the quality of activity is a key factor in reducing heart problem risks.
Further research into solitary sexual practices, such as masturbation, suggests it can contribute to sexual well-being and help individuals understand their own physical preferences. While many report relaxation and stress reduction following orgasm, researchers note that these practices are not considered formal treatments for clinical psychological disorders like depression or anxiety.
