Question 4

can sex help fight infection?

Accepted Answer

Sex as an Antidote: I'm unaware of any actual infection that sexual activity can help treat or prevent.  However, sexual activity has many other healthy benefits of decreasing stress and anxiety and lowering aggression.  If these are improved it seems reasonable to postulate that immune function could be enhanced, which in turn could improve ones ability to fight off illness or disease; it's possible but not proven.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Make antibodies!: B-cells make antibodies against foreign invaders. The antibodies stick to the invader, leading t cells to kill it.   B cells are also the "memory" of the immune system. If the same invader comes along years later, the b cells that made antibodies the first time are  ready to make them again.  Finally, b cells send out chemical signals that tell other immune cells what to do. B is for bossy...

Problems?: If you have a urine infection, you need to be on antibiotics.
