Italian medical researchers carried out a series of studies as part of the conference, and found that a healthy sex life means fewer cardiovascular problems for men.
The investigation was carried out by the Italian Society of Sexual Medicine who are holding their annual congress in the city of Modena.
Dr Emmanuele Jannini, coordinator of the research, said: "What was evident from the research was that men who had active sex lives and were faithful to their partners had fewer cardiovascular complaints and lived longer.
"Increased sexual activity produces more testosterone, which leads to less depression and a better cardiovascular performance which means an improved metabolism."
Dr Jannini said the research has been carried out by the University of Florence on 4,000 men and the study revealed that those who were unfaithful had a poor cardiovascular performance because they were "also coping with the increased stress of their infidelity."
She added that the study had shown a poor quality sex life could also lead to depression.
Dr Jannini added that an increased amount of testosterone produced during sex was good for men because it burned off excess sugars and reduced the risk of heart disease.
She added: "People who have diabetes especially benefit from a healthy sex life and an active sex life also helps avoid prostate problems for men."
Testosterone is the principal male sex hormone and is an anabolic steroid.
Previous research has shown that it is essential for health and wellbeing as well as the prevention of osteoporosis.
The conference also heard how too much time spent speaking on mobile telephones appears to "put sperm to sleep" and can pose a risk for male fertility.
According to the preliminary results of a study by Rome's La Sapienza University and the Santa Maria Goretti Hospital at Latina, south of the capital, "there is a correlation between cellphone use and a worsening in sperm mobility."
Andrea Lenzi, president of the Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine (SIAMS), said: "The waves appear to put the sperm to sleep.
"The data are, however, preliminary and we are verifying the presence of other factors: people who speak on their cellphones a lot are often more stressed or they smoke and drink more, and that can impact sperm quality."
The study, which examined sperm from men using mobile phones from a minimum of half an hour to a maximum of four hours a day.
They also tend to be more aggressive and socially dominant said Dr Peter Biro, an Australian academic.
He said their findings, which came from studying the relationship between behaviour and metabolic rate in a number of insects, birds and animals, gave weight to the popular stereotype of the athletic "jock" and the awkward "nerd".
Dr Biro said there was enough evidence from numerous studies to suggest that those that had a higher metabolism, and thus tended to exercise more, appeared to exhibit particular behaviour traits that often included a higher sex drive.
"Some of us are couch potatoes while others are drawn to sport and exercise," he said.
"We often associate the athletic 'jock' type or person with being aggressive and social, whereas the more sedentary 'nerd' often is seen as more socially awkward and submissive.
"These are generalisations, but most people would probably agree there is some truth to them."
Dr Biro, a senior lecturer at the University of New South Wales's Evolution and Ecology Research Centre, has written on the subject with Judy Stamps of the University of California, Davis, in a review article in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution.
The article concludes that there is now enough evidence to suggest a link between personality and the rate of metabolism – the chemical process that converts food into the energy that fuels the body.
He explained: "Animals in captivity often engage in energetically demanding behaviour when they have unlimited food available.
"Mice spend considerable time on running wheels, for example, and other animals often pace back and forth in zoo enclosures. Given they don't need to move about in search of food as they would in nature, we might ask why they are apparently 'exercising.'
"Recent research suggests that this behaviour might be related to an individual's capacity to generate energy - its 'metabolic capacity'."
He continued: "Male crickets with sex on their mind tend to call to attract mates more and have higher metabolism than those with slower metabolism.
Metabolism and aggression are also linked. For example, it has been shown that in several species of fish and birds, individuals with high metabolism tend to be more aggressive and dominant over those with slow metabolism.
Chris Jones, head of physiology at Nuffield Health, said although there was no evidence of a direct link between exercise and sex drive, there was a link between doing regular exercise and levels of testosterone and adrenalin.
"There is evidence that enhanced testosterone and adrenalin in men and women does enhance libido."
He added: "What's particularly interesting is that exercise also seems to have an effect on stopping the problems that lead to a decrease in libido."
Sapan Sehgal, 27, an instructor at London Fields Fitness Studios, agreed there was a link between exercise and sex drive.
"If you exercise regularly you are fitter, healthier and have more confidence to approach the opposite sex," he said.
"Your hormone levels are also increased."
Sex and Heart : by Dr Piyush Jain Doctor NDTV....
Sexual activity is a normal human instinct, which protects men and women against feelings of isolation. It offers them an opportunity to be free of mental stress and tension by gestures such as touching, hugging, caressing and fantasy. Intercourse is the ultimate expression of sexuality.
Oct. 8, 2010 -- Low testosterone levels in older men with memory problems may signal progression to Alzheimer's disease or even increase the risk for developing age-related dementia.
Fat cells can convert testosterone to estrogen and this can also contribute to a low testosterone and thereby affect your sex drive and erectile function.

Viagra doesn't work for half of all men who take it, leading doctors warn.
They say the NHS is wasting tens of millions of pounds every year on tablets which don't treat the cause of problem.
Many of the men handed prescriptions by their GP are actually suffering from low testosterone levels, which cannot be treated by Viagra alone.
This is because the impotence pill is dependent on the sex hormone in order for it to work in the first place.
Little blue pills: Viagra will only work if a man already has sufficient levels of testosterone
Instead, doctors recommend that men should have a simple blood test to determine their levels of testosterone.
If found to be low, it can be easily treated with testosterone pills, patches and gels which are all relatively inexpensive.
The NHS spends around £58 million a year on handing out more than 17 million repeat prescriptions for Viagra and other impotence drugs.
So if half of men have low testosterone, millions of NHS money is being wasted.
Low testosterone is a common conditions affecting 40 per cent on men over the age of 40, and one in five of those who suffer some form of impotence.
Although levels of the hormone start to decline with age, some people are affected much earlier on in their lives than others.
It can also be a symptom of an underlying health condition such as diabetes and heart disease so experts say it is crucial that it is properly diagnosed
Typical symptoms include tiredness, mood swings, insomnia - as well as low sex drive, the reason most will visit their doctor.
But sexual health experts warn that many GPs are simply prescribing Viagra by default rather than diagnosing the root cause of the problem
Dr Geoffrey Hackett, a consultant urologist at Good Hope hospital in Birmingham, and former chairman of the British Society for Sexual Medicine said that men with sexual problems could be "wasting hundreds of pounds on tablets" when their real issue is low testosterone.
'Viagra will only work if there are sufficient levels of testosterone. Often men will low testosterone levels wont feel like sex at all.
'They wont want to take a tablet an hour before they plan to do something they don't want to do.
'They will get repeat prescriptions for Viagra in the hope that it will eventually work.'
He added: 'Everybody thinks that Viagra is the panacea for all sexual problems, it's not. There is a lot being wasted on this in the NHS, particularly in diabetes patients.
'Men for whom Viagra isn't working adequately need to have their cases reviewed. If low testosterone is the problem then Viagra won't be the answer on its own.'
He said that by contrast, drugs to replace levels of testosterone 'can change the lives of patients'.
'I can't tell you how many partners of the patients he has helped come back and thank me for giving me back the man that I married.'
Around 90,000 men in Britain have used Viagra since it first went on sale in 1988
The majority buy it themselves from a pharmacy - at a cost of £55 for four tablets - although they have to first pay for a private prescription from their GP
But men can get on the NHS if they suffer from conditions including diabetes, kidney failure, MS, Parkinson's, polio, prostate cancer, or they have had a severe pelvic injury.
Those who are able to show their impotence is causing them severe psychological distress can also get free prescriptions.
Doctors from British Medical Association have called on the Government to change the law allowing more men to get Viagra on the NHS.
They argued that men who could benefit from the drugs were facing discrimination under the current criteria.
Viagra works by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical in the body which increases sexual arousal.
Experts believe that nitric oxide is dependent on high levels of testosterone to function, so without it Viagra will not work.
'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'
I had to hold back
tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,
'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'
True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
True love is an
acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

'Stridhan' is a traditional concept in Indian Hindu Society which has been derived from two Sanskrit words 'Stri' and 'dhan' which means 'Woman's property'. Usually, stridhan is passed from mother to daughter, unless the woman decides otherwise. Besides the ornaments and trousseau given at marriage, stridhan also includes all the gifts of money, property, jewellery and so on received by the woman before, during and after marriage from her family, her husband's family, friends and even strangers. It includes property inherited by the woman from her family or husband's family; property received by her under a compromise, adverse possession or in lieu of maintenance; property obtained in partition; and property bought using proceeds from stridhan. However, gifts to the husband by the woman or her relatives will not be part of her stridhan.
Protection of Stridhan
A woman's right to her stridhan is protected under law. Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 read with Section 27 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 make a female Hindu an absolute owner of such property. In the case of Pratibha Rani v. Suraj Kumar, 1985 (2) SCC 370 the Supreme Court of India explained the concept of 'Stridhan' and its legal position under the Indian Laws. The Supreme Court of India held that "a Hindu married woman is the absolute owner of her stridhan property and can deal with it in any manner she likes and, even if it is placed in the custody of her husband or her in-laws they would be deemed to be trustees and bound to return the same if and when demanded by her".
It is, therefore, manifest that the position of stridhan of a Hindu married woman's property during coverture is absolutely clear and unambiguous; she is the absolute owner of such property and can deal with it in any manner she likes-she may spend the whole of it or give it away at her own pleasure by gift or will without any reference to her husband. Ordinarily, the husband has no right or interest in it with the sole exception that in times of extreme distress, as in famine, illness or the like, the husband can utilize it but he is morally bound to restore it or its value when he is able to do so. This right is purely personal to the husband and the property so received by him in marriage cannot be proceeded against even in execution of a decree for debt, such being the nature and character of stridhan of a woman.
If her husband or any other member of his family who are in possession of such property, dishonestly misappropriate or refuse to return the same, they may be liable to punishment for the offence of criminal breach of trust under sections 405 and 406 IPC.
Precautions: Women who wish to protect their stridhan rights must take precautionary steps.
How To Find Detective For Matrimonial Investigation - By: Sanjay Singh
Marriage is a risky proposition. Many people tend to have lots of apprehensions before taking the plunge into this gamble. In the view of growing instances of infidelity and extra marital affairs, more and more people are now open to the idea of taking the services of a professional detective in order to undertake a matrimonial investigation primarily to get a reality check.
Pre-Marriage Investigation
In the view of increasing deceits and fraudulent practices, many people are resorting to conduct a private investigation on their "��would be"�� spouse in order to be sure of the credibility of the person they are about to get married to. Marriage is a decision of life time which can transform an individual"��s life for better or worse. This is the primary reason that many matrimonial agencies and online wedding sites are increasingly incorporating investigation services for their clients. Various checks like personal background, family history, and social standing are some of the important considerations that are extremely influential in arriving at a decision. Criminal records, if any, are also checked and verified in order to make people fully aware thereby enabling them to make an informed decision. If people are uncomfortable in seeking these services through matrimonial agencies, they can always approach professional private detectives in order to maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of such investigations.
Post-Marriage Investigation
Infidelity and extra marital affairs are serious issues that can jeopardize and ruin a marriage forever. Many couples often possess several insecurities because of which the fear of adultery is always there at the back of their minds. In order to find answers to their fears, many people have started taking the services of professional detectives in order to make their spouse go through a loyalty test. Infidelity is one of the primary reasons for many broken homes and traumatic marriage experiences. In order to bring the reality of a marriage to the surface, people are increasingly resorting to detective services in order to mitigate their fears or confirm them for that matter. Various private detectives and professional agencies are actively working to bring some relief to such people.
Where to Find Matrimonial Detectives
1) Various matrimonial agencies have started providing investigation services in order to make people aware about the person they are about to get married. This saves them lot of efforts in looking for professional investigation services.
2) Newspapers and magazines are some of the most common media through which many agencies tend to advertise themselves. People can personally approach such agencies to understand the nature of services and various investigative proceedings undertaken by them.
3) In the times of increasing internet exposure, many professional agencies have their online presence via an official website. Such websites usually contain various services provided to the prospective clients.
4) People can even take suggestions from their close friends and relatives who may know about such agencies or private detective services.
Matrimonial investigation is undertaken by large number of people in order to test the loyalty and commitment of their spouse towards the bond of marriage. One of the most effective ways of finding this is through the services of competent detectives who are adept in unfolding the hidden truths and deep embedded secrets.
