Women who rarely have sex may not only suffer a bit from pent up tensions — they could be heading to an early grave, a new study suggests.
Scientists found that women between the ages of 20 and 59 who had sex less than once a week had a 70 percent higher probability of dying from any cause within five years compared to women who had sex more than once a week.
These individuals had elevated levels of a protein linked to inflammation, which can cause damage to healthy cells, tissues and organs.
The study also included a sample group of men, but researchers told DailyMail.com that the 'relationship was not found in males.'
