Smallest Penis - There are several instances in medical literature of penises that do not exceed 1 cm when fully erect, which doctors call an (ahem) "micropenis." Those unfortunate enough to be equipped with these diminutive organs can undergo reconstructive surgery to extend it to about 3 inches, which I guess is an improvement.

Capnolagnia - For some people, there's no greater thrill than watching someone smoke. They then collect the cigar or cigarette ends that have been smoked by the person they desire, place the butts between their lips and then masturbate.

Cholesterol Sex may also help the all important "good cholesterol/bad cholesterol ratio" in the more helpful HDL direction

The Prostate
Some minor problems with this gland that become common when men reach their late 40´s are caused or aggravated when prostate fluids aren't emptied adequately. And what cleans out the prostate? S-E-X During orgasm the muscles around the gland contract over and over, squeezing out the fluids. Though experts differ on exactly how frequent sex should be for optimum prostate protection – some say once a week, others say several times –  it´s clear that regular sex is a prostate plus.

Hormones
For men: Any kind of physical exercise increases testosterone which maintains the sex drive and contributes to bone and muscle development.

For Women: Regular lovemaking can increase the levels of estrogen which protects the heart and keeps the vaginal tissues more supple. A steady sex life may also help ameliorate premenstrual syndrome.

More hormones
Research involving animals suggests that oxytocin, a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland during sexual contact, contributes to long term bonding between males and females. Scientists say more study is needed to determine if oxytocin has a similar effect on humans.

Relationship
A health sex life can make a relationship more durable. Which means you are better able to weather the glitches that make even a great marriage bumpy from time to time.

Stress
Sex can be a very effective way of reducing stress. It provides a profound feeling of well–being, intimacy, and relaxation. Furthermore, since stress weakens the immune system, relieving it can help the body ward off illness.

Weight management
Sex 3 times a week burns 7500 calories per year. That´s the equivalent of jogging 75 miles. And the calorie-burn count increases with more intense amorous effort which could amount to over 10,000 calories annually. Besides it´s aerobic benefits, sex may offer a small amount of resistance training. During arousal and orgasm there is myotonia, or contraction of the muscles. The more energetic the activity, the better.

An analgesic
There´s also evidence that certain chemicals released during sex act as painkillers. So arousal and orgasm can elevate the threshold of pain. Sex can help relieve arthritic pain, whiplash pain and headache pain. Headaches can be better managed with sex because the endorphins released may have an analgesic effect. Moreover, accelerated blood flow throughout the body takes pressure off the brain – and relaxation that comes with orgasm reduces tension in neck muscles.
