There is this popular belief that sex makes ladies look older. I just observed though, I might be wrong. I've noticed unmarried young ladies who have an active sex life tend to appear older than they are, they seem to add weight easily and there is this "high mileage" look they have.
.
Well I might be wrong, it might be due to unhealthy lifestyle( junk food and stuff) stress and other factors, some study claims sex makes you look younger but I don't think they said "sex with numerous partners" right?
......

This applies to both sex though, what do you think does sex make us appear older?
Are there health professionals here who can say something about that?

Lalasticlala could you kindly help me move this to health section. I already posted it in here(romance section) before I realised it's not actually the most suitable place for this thread and most likely the folks in this section would likely trivialize this and not answer intelligently.
Thanks!

Hello dear paybak, I think you should be more bothered on what gender you want to belong to. There is the option of transgender, if you're so interested in being otherwise. Have a good day.

health and beauty benefits we reap from having sex:

1. Keeps Skin Young AND Healthy
Sex increases blood circulation, which helps pump oxygen to our skin resulting in a brighter appearance. Hence: that after-sex glow. Regular sexual engagement has prolonged effects in this regard and can actually make us look younger. Sex boosts our natural collagen production, which staves off age spots and sagging. So simply put? More wrinkles in the bed equals fewer wrinkles on your face!

2. Boosts Immunity
You know the old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"? Turns out there was a typo in that medical journal. It should have said, "Having sex once or twice a week increases levels of an antibody called immunoglobin A (the stuff that fights off colds and other infections), which really keeps the doctor away!" So more sex means a stronger immune system. It's time to cash in those unused sick days as SEX days!

3. Makes Hair Shine
Hormones not only control our sex drive, but they affect the way our hair looks. Research has shown that a satisfying sex life results in healthy, lush hair due to the body's increased ability to receive and metabolize nutrients efficiently. Proof positive that Angelina Jolie and Catherina Zeta-Jones have healthy sex lives!

4. Produces Healthy Sperm
We know men are proud of their sperm counts, but now we are too! Several studies show that men who have frequent sex have higher volumes of semen, a higher sperm count and a higher percentage of healthy sperm compared to men who have infrequent sex. This is good news for women because research shows that semen helps us combat depression, boosts our energy and even helps us have a smoother delivery, if we're pregnant.

5. Reduces Stress
Life is stressful. And while there are many proven ways to cure stress: daily exercise, evening glass of wine, b*tch-fest with a BFF, morning meditation, a walk on the beach and so on—a good, old-fashioned sex session does the trick, too! Though blood pressure levels spike during the act itself, maintaining a healthy sex life helps us keep blood pressure and stress levels low.

6. Strengthens Nails
The same sex-triggered hormones that make your skin glow also make our nails strong, which means less splitting and breaking, and longer-lasting manicures.

7. Improves Heart Health
Want your guy to live to 100? Sex can help! Research shows that men who have sex 2+ times per week have a lower risk of heart disease than those who have sex less than once a month. Of course, I've yet to meet a guy who needed cardiovascular research to convince him to have more frequent romps in the sack, but isn't it nice to know we are helping our guys' hearts whenever we have sex?

8. Zaps Zits
Say bye-bye to acne treatments and miracle pills! Sex balances our hormone levels, which results in clearer skin. Probably good we didn't know this in high school...

9. Hydrates Skin
Now here is some real science for you: sex improves circulation, gives the body the moisture it needs to stay healthy. Translation: no more dry skin. Furthermore, having sweaty sex is like a facial for your skin, as sweat expels excess dirt from our pores. Your man: the sex god and the esthetician? Who knew?

10. Acts As A Natural Pain Killer
Oxytocin, one of the chemicals released during sex, increases endorphins and decreases pain, particularly headaches. So that headache excuse isn't going to cut it anymore! Sex also speeds up the healing of wounds, even stubborn sores like those suffered by diabetics. Before heading to the medicine cabinet, why not try a quickie first?

11. Sheds Pounds
Got a few pounds to lose but aren't willing to abandon your love affair with hot wings and chocolate cake? Sex could be an option! While it's not as productive at weight loss as more traditional cardio or strength training, we burn an average of 170 calories per hour of active sex, which is about a pound after 21 hour-long sessions. There are certainly WORSE ways to lose weight.

lol.. I rest my case

Yes it does actually, especially when you started doing it at a young age. But I don't know, I know some that turned old and acted old and I know some that are the opposite. Wait No, it's depends if you take care of yourself or not

But these are the normal things we reap from living a healthy lifestyle, exercising and all. Someone not having sex can get all these and more. The question is does a lot of sex induce aging??

Interesting (subjective) observation. But, it's a good start. At least you are asking questions....so unafrican.


Anyway, it has no scientific basis while a great observation. Studies on this subject do show otherwise.

Might I suggest you do a bit more research on this topic.

Addendum: although there's a compounding factor. Critically thinking, you can find indirect relationship but not cause and effect relationship.

It my be that the people you observe are taking oral contraceptives (older ones are notorious for causing weight gain). And, weight gain will in fact add ages and you can in fact appear older. Now scientifically, obesity does impact cellular aging.

I hope this answers your question. I commend you for being different and brave for romance-lander

Oh yes! This was the kind of response I expected. Great!
I suspected contraceptives also alcohol and an unhealthy lifestyle. Yes it's a very subjective observation that is why I asked for varying professional opinion. I see the culprit now. Gracias muchos!
Also does numerous sex partners cause same effect?

Will comment when I'm back from church

Sex is not a magic elixir. If you take care of yourself, you will look young

Ladies who have sex with numerous partners will age faster, because, too many antibodies are being produced to combat too many antigens with differing genetic signatures.

Yes, Semen/sperm is an antigen and a normal immune system would react against it, so imagine the confusion of trying to combat many antigens at the same time, the body will wear out.
