So it's definitely something with there is so much research coming out just showing how critical sleep is to our mental health.

We all know if you're walking around and you're exhausted, that that's just not going to be good for you in your life in general.

That's not what leads to thriving.

Sex, orgasm, those are very effective paths towards that kind of deep level sleep that we need to feel refreshed every day.

And it's a virtuous cycle because if you feel more well-rested, you're going to be more likely to want to have sex.

We are all dealing with colds, flus.

There isn't research yet showing the impact of sex as a protective mechanism against COVID, but wouldn't be surprised if there's something there.

As long as you wash your hands.

It probably does.

As long as you wash your hands.

Exactly.

But I mean, this makes sense, right?

I mean, for an activity that is linked to literally every other health outcome, of course, it's going to also be related to our immune function.

And so that is what we've found in that data is that people who are having regular sex have fewer colds, less instances of the flu, and fewer sort of long-term ailments than people who are not having sex.

Yes, we are.

And I think that that is for all of the reasons that we've been talking about in terms of the stress and anxiety and the state of the world that's sort of weighing on everyone's minds.

But that finding is particularly driven by Gen Z, which is surprising to many people because we assume that they're all sex obsessed because of the amount of sex we see in our culture.

But Gen Z and millennials tend to be really driving that decline.

However, it is present among all age groups.

And when we talk about, okay, well, what's the solution to that?
