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?

This is where I really believe in, and this is based off of just robust data showing the efficacy,

of planning intimacy, right?

Which many couples think, oh my God, like I don't want to have to plan sex.

That just seems like it's the most unsexy activity in the world.

But I'm not saying that you need to create a contract where you're going to go have a sex date where you just mid dishwasher emptying, go and jump in bed and expect your body to instantly turn on and have sex.
