Gospel star Selina Boateng has underlined the physiological benefits of sex.

She spoke to Taller Dee on the Journey to Heaven programme on No.1 FM, 105.3.

“Sex is medicinal. It’s medicine,” she said.

To buttress, she added: “Sometimes when you report sick to the hospital, the doctor asks if you’ve had sex. Yes, I’ve been asked that before.”

The sexual activity releases “hormones,” Selina noted. “The feelings you get from sex, there’s medicine in it.”

Sexual acts like “smooching,” she said, can take away various forms of “headaches and depression”.

“It can relax your mind in such a beautiful way. It is part of the biological process,” the singer continued. “God made it so.”

Thus, the Medofo Pa (Good Love) singer argued, “Sex is indispensable and cannot be taken out of the human experience.”

“If you’re married, you have every right to use sex,” she said, admonishing, however, “If you’re not married, it is immoral to do it. It is not against the Bible when you’re married.”

Selina Boateng encouraged spouses “to freely give sex” to their partners “no matter where they find themselves”.

However, “don’t do it in public in the full glare of others for whatever reason,” she said, urging respect for public decency laws.

The Christian singer fondly emphasised it was okay for spouses to make love wherever they please in the privacy of their homes.

She, also, revealed “so far as the opportunity was available,” she had used sex to relax after a performance.
