Mostly False Global

Sex practiced 103 times a year is said to give psychological comfort and strengthen relationships. Having sex twice a week lowers depression risk by 24% compared to less frequent activity, with positive effects pronounced in people in their 20s and 30s.

The claim that sex should be practiced 103 times a year lacks scientific support, as no specific optimal frequency has been recommended by experts. Regarding the assertion about lower depression risk with more frequent sex, available evidence does not confirm a direct correlation with frequency alone. Additionally, there is insufficient evidence to conclusively support the pronounced positive effects of frequent sex on young adults in their 20s and 30s.
