As Presented At The 163rd
Inaugural Lecture of UNILORIN
Prof. Musa Yakubu of The University of Ilorin has said that having sex in the early morning lowers blood
pressure and reduces risks of a heart attack.
Yakubu of the Department of
Biochemistry made the assertion in a paper, “Knocking Down the Barriers to Four
O’Clock Activities and Reproductive Inadequacies”, presented at the 163rd
Inaugural lecture at the university on Friday.
He said that having
sexual intercourse, three to four times a week, was good for love life.
“Research has shown that sex boosts the immune system by stimulating the body’s
first line of defence and production of immunoglobulin A (IgA), against cold
and fever,” he said. Immunoglobulin A is one of the most common antibodies in
the body system.
Antibodies are proteins
made by the immune system to fight bacteria, viruses, and toxins. Yakubu said
that sex also regulates menstruation in women by influencing the levels of luteinising
hormones that control the menstrual period and promote better sleep. According to
him, the act of sexual intercourse also releases the feel-good chemical, known
as oxytocin, which enhances closeness with one’s partner and makes people feel
happier for a longer period of time.
“Lovemaking of about 20
minutes reduces 150 calories,” he said. The professor of Biochemistry
postulated that sex is the most powerful creative force given to human by God
for pleasure and deep companionship.
Yakubu, however, noted
that any marriage in which the man or woman could not enjoy sexual intercourse
or satisfy their partner in bed was a dead marriage. He said that lack of
sexual satisfaction had led to the collapse of many marriages in Nigeria, and
urged couples to seek for solutions to the problem. “Sexual and reproductive
dysfunctions are common among men and women in Nigeria, which necessitates
regular screening and check-ups,” he said. He also said that traditional
medicines had been authenticated to cure sexual dysfunctions.
Just for you to know that
sex, lovemaking is very important in our lives, so keep dotting the hole while.
