Sex, Heart Health & Longevity

How Sexual Health Connects to Lifespan

Dear Doctor,

Across decades of cardiovascular research, one consistent pattern emerges: sexual health mirrors vascular health. Yet, despite growing evidence linking sexual function to heart health and longevity, the conversation often remains incomplete—or avoided.

That’s why I wrote Sex, Heart Health & Longevity—a clear, research-informed exploration of how sexual vitality and intimacy reflect, and sometimes predict, broader health outcomes.

Letter to Medical Associations

Dear Colleagues,

Sex, Heart Health & Longevity examines the evidence linking sexual vitality, emotional intimacy, and cardiovascular well-being. It highlights how sexual activity often functions as a surrogate marker for overall health, and how erectile dysfunction can serve as an early vascular warning sign warranting a respectful, proactive work-up.

This kit offers an excerpted preview, context for education and prevention, and a concise author profile for reference and newsletters.

Educational aim: advance open, evidence-based conversations about intimacy and heart health — with compassion, clarity, and clinical utility.

Evidence Highlights (Summary)

  • Association, not magic: Frequent sexual activity in men correlates with lower all-cause mortality in cohorts; more likely a marker of overall vigor than a sole causal driver.
  • ED as a clinical signal: Erectile dysfunction is associated with higher cardiovascular risk; consider BP, lipids, glucose, sleep apnea, and lifestyle evaluation.
  • Enjoyment & connection: Satisfaction with sex and quality of intimacy track with better well-being and survival in older adults.
  • Prostate angle: Higher ejaculation frequency correlates with lower prostate cancer incidence in some cohorts (incidence more than mortality).
  • Hypertensive men: In younger/middle-aged hypertensive men, higher sexual frequency independently predicted lower all-cause mortality over follow-up.
