Some of us are having it all the time while others are unfortunately experiencing a dry spell.

But many studies have examined the relationship between sex and physical health, and turns out sex is needed for a number of reasons.

In relationships it's a no-brainer how important it is to connect with your partner, but little is known how vital it is for our overall health, mood and stress levels.

Sexual activity, with a partner or through masturbation, can provide important psychological and emotional benefits.

Like exercise, sex can help reduce stress and anxiety and increase happiness.
