Health is a very essential issue in our world. From the classic and traditional medicine point of view, whatever is surrounding us such as weather, air, water and soil, and our behavior and habits as far as eating, drinking, training and emotions are concerned, contribute to a healthy life style. With an overview in traditional medicine, it is clear that there is another important aspect in preventive medicine and it is sexual life and intercourse. We reviewed reference textbooks in traditional Iranian medicine and classic medicine about sexual life and intercourse and their role in a healthy life style. We looked for sexual life and its relationship with eating, types of drinking, bath, sleeping, various times and periods of a day in those references. Also we reviewed Al-Ghanoon by Avicina, Zakhireh Kharazmshahi and Kamel alsanaeh. In Iranian Traditional medicine, having a sexual life and intercourse are not only for pleasure, but also they are important aspects of a healthy life style. Therefore, they need to be performed in certain times and periods, there should be a prologue and foreplay, and they have regular relationship with drinking and eating. The role of sexual life and intercourse in health and preventive medicine are essential.
