Right about now, a lot of people are looking into ways to keep boost their immune system and protect them from contracting COVID-19. Tossing back Vitamin C like candy, eating healthier and washing your hands like crazy may not be the only way to stay healthy – getting it on could help keep you in peak health as well (either with your quaratined-long-term-partner or with a booty call once the social distancing orders are up, of course!)

According to a study put out by Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, there may be a link between having sex a few times a week and a strong immune system.

The researchers found students who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of Immunoglobulin A (IgA), which are illness-fighting antibodies found in the mucous membranes of the lungs, sinuses, the stomach and intestines. (They’re also found in the fluids these membranes produce: saliva, tears and blood.)

People who had sex once or twice a week had the highest levels of IgA, which helped them stave off colds. The group had 30% more IgA than the two groups who had less frequent sex and the group that had sex more than twice a week. (Apparently, doing it all the time has its drawbacks.)

“Immunoglobulin basically fights against viruses and boosts your immunity,” said Shannon Chavez, a psychologist and sex therapist in Los Angeles. “Plus, regular sexual activity is good for your heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. These processes keep your body healthy and release toxins and pent up tension in the body.”

So, once we’re giving the a-ok to start booty callin’ again, don’t forget your dose of Vitamins P&V, ifyaknowhatwemean.
