• Not having sex takes a toll on your happiness, closeness, and relationship security, experts say. "Going without sex in a marriage can deliver a hit to your self-esteem, engender guilt, and decrease levels of oxytocin and other bonding hormones," says Les Parrott, PhD, a psychologist and author of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts . "It can also increase fears that one of you will look to others for your sexual needs, which can breed a little paranoia. 
• Use it or lose it: Men who have sex infrequently are twice as likely to experience erectile dysfunction as men who do it once a week or more, according to a study published in the American Journal of Medicine . The study’s authors suggest that, since the penis is a muscle, frequent sex may help preserve potency in a similar way that physical exercise helps maintain strength.
