aSwinging life-style prevents you from catching swine ? flu, the study shows

Swinging life-style prevents you from catching swine – flu, the study shows.
It’s official: swinging life-style and sex is good for you.

Psychologists in London, UK  have shown that people who have sex once or twice a week get a boost to their immune systems.

Scientists can evaluate how robust our immune systems are by measuring levels of immunoglobulin found in saliva and mucous linings. “This is the first line of defence against colds and flu, including the swine-flu,” says Dawn Brown of St George university of London. Immunoglobulin binds to pathogens at all the points of entry to the body, then calls on the immune system to destroy them.

To find out if sex and swinging life-style can alter immunoglobulin levels, Dawn Brown and his colleague Frank Brenon anonymously asked 100 JSS (jet set swingers) secret community members, aged 21 to 40, how frequently they’d had sex over the previous month.

The results showed that participants who had sex less than once a week had a  increase in immunoglobulin over those who abstained completely. Those who had one or two sexual encounters each week had a 30 per cent rise in levels of the antigen. But people who had very frequent sex-three times a week or more-had lower immunoglobulin levels than the abstainers. The researchers presented the results this week at UK Adult Film Awards
Frank Brenon, thinks the high levels of immunoglobulin in volunteers who had moderately frequent sex are easy to understand.

“My feeling is that the people in the very-low-sex group may be in obsessive or poor relationships that are causing them a lot of anxiety,” speculates Brenon. “We all know that stress and anxiety make immunoglobulin go down.”
