Less sex could lead to early menopause: Study

According to researchers, women who have sex more often are less likely to have an early menopause and women who reported having sexual activity weekly were 28 per cent less likely to have experienced menopause than those who had sex less than once a month.

Researchers added that that the physical cues of sex may signal to the body that there is a possibility of getting pregnant.

The study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science said but  for women who aren’t having sex frequently in midlife, an earlier menopause may make more biological sense.

“The findings of our study suggest that if a woman is not having sex, and there is no chance of pregnancy, then the body ‘chooses’ not to invest in ovulation, as it would be pointless,” said study researcher Megan Arnot from University College London in the US.

“There may be a biological energetic trade-off between investing energy into ovulation and investing elsewhere, such as keeping active by looking after grandchildren,” Arnot added.

The experimental study, published in the journal ‘Psychology of Violence’, by Georgia State University researchers found that the lockdown restrictions led by the Covid-19 pandemic have resulted in increased rates of physical and psychological aggression among couples.

Physical aggression increased from two acts per year to 15 acts per year. Psychological aggression increased from 16 acts per year to 96 acts per year.
