Sex Boosts Immunity
Lovemaking several times in the week leads to increased levels of immunoglobulin A, or IgA, which works as an antibody keeping cold viruses away

Group therapist Gina Ogden thinks that makes sense. She says that partners in bed often bolster each others’ courage and patience for whatever is coming the next day – so-called ‘pillow talk’.
