Better sleep, less stress, stronger immune system โ are these the results of a better diet? Or maybe exercise?
It is just from โgood sexโ, says Candice Hargons, a psychologist and professor at Emory University, in the US state of Georgia, who holds a doctorate in counselling psychology and is the author of Good Sex: Stories, Science, and Strategies for Sexual Liberation.
She also leads the Smasher Lab โ the schoolโs Study of Mental And Sexual Health Equity in Relationships laboratory.
Hargons describes the research featured in her new book and how better intimacy leads to better health.
Why is โgood sexโ important?
โSex is one of the most common and normal human behaviours, and yet it remains relatively taboo as a topic,โ she says.
