The channel Vbox7 published a list of 17 things that happen to our body after we stop having sex.

Pain
Vaginal dryness can make sex quite painful unfortunately.
Erectile Dysfunction
There seems to be a link between the lack of sexual contact and erectile dysfunction, although scientists are still not clear what exactly it is.

Your immune system weakens

Changes in bladder control
Sex helps women strengthen their pelvic floor muscles, which helps prevent incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine).
Affects blood pressure

Increased risk of prostate cancer
Men who ejaculate frequently - at least 21 times a month - are less likely to develop prostate cancer.
