More Sex Partners, Higher Cancer Risk, Study Says
Overall, sex is good for your health. But the number of sex partners you have could raise your risk for cancer and other illnesses.
In a recent study of over 5,700 older adults, scientists discovered that people who had had 10 or more partners over their lifetime were more likely to have developed cancer compared to people who had had fewer partners.
Women with 10 or more lifetime partners were also at higher risk for "limiting long-standing illness."
In our latest blog post, you'll learn more about this study, the reasons for the links, and what you can do to reduce your risk while still enjoying a satisfying sex life.
