If any woman needs one more reason to have regular sex, researchers can provide it. According to a new study, sex can affect the hippocampus in women, an area of ​​the brain involved in memory. Therefore, regular sex is associated with improved memory among women. Although the data are conflicting, they offer a scientifically sound motivation for increased sexual activity. Experts explain that women who have more sex remember a greater number of words during the tests. Sexual activity did not help female participants better remember faces. Based on these results, the researchers concluded that intercourse stimulates the hippocampus region of the female brain, meaning that sex improves memory function. According to data from previous studies not focused on sex, any form of physical activity tends to stimulate the area around the hippocampus, from running to yoga.

The overall well-being of the body also improves. The data from the present study are housed in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
