A hearty bonk is best for fellas

SHAGGING has been proven to protect your heart – but only if you’re a bloke.

New research has revealed that regular romps can slash the risk of suffering from cardiac problems, such as heart disease, dramatically.

But the study, which found that just three or four bonks a week can make a big difference, only applies to men.

Regular sex has been found to reduce the amount of chemical homocysteine in the blood, which can trigger heart problems at high levels.

However scientists reckon that men who have frequent sex have better blood flow and healthier blood vessels, which stops the chemical from building up.

Women benefit less from an active sex life as their arousal is less dependent on having a healthy blood flow.
