Does sex have health benefits, and what does the medical evidence say in Europe?

Sex and health explained: cardiovascular effects, stress reduction, immune response, hormone release, and psychological wellbeing.

In this episode, we review the scientific evidence on potential health benefits of sexual activity and how doctors interpret these findings under EU medical guidance.

You’ll learn:

• How sexual activity can temporarily increase heart rate and circulation

• The role of endorphins and oxytocin in stress reduction

• Associations between sexual activity and improved mood

• How intimacy may support relationship wellbeing

• The difference between correlation and causation in research

• When sexual activity may need to be limited due to cardiovascular risk

• Situations where sexual health concerns require medical assessment

We explain how doctors assess cardiovascular status, erectile function, pelvic health, mental wellbeing, and medication use during an online consultation in the EU. Sexual activity can be part of overall wellbeing, but safety depends on individual health status.

This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where sexual health consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in line with EU medical guidance.
