6 Healthy Reasons You Should Have Sex — Right Now!
Want to boost your mood, stress less, and cut your risk of cancer, heart disease, and other health hazards? No, the answer isn’t in a magic pill — it’s between your sheets. That’s right: A little loving can boost your overall health in a number of surprising ways.
“Sex can be good for your health for many reasons,” says Amy Wetter, MD, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist in Atlanta. “Some of these include better sleep, lower stress, improved self-esteem, lower blood pressure, and pain relief.”
And nobody says you have to be with a partner to reap these benefits. Self-pleasuring can offer sex benefits, especially those specifically related to a good orgasm.
So whether you’re coupled up or flying solo, check out this list of the healthy knock-on effects of regular sex.
1. Improved Heart Health — Yes, Sex Is Exercise Just like any physical activity, healthy sex is good for your heart. A longitudinal population-based study published in the American Journal of Cardiology found that men who had sex at least twice weekly had less risk of cardiovascular diseases like stroke or heart attack than those who had sex once a month or less.[1] And an observational study published in 2020 found that sex may improve your long-term recovery after a heart attack. Researchers compared two groups of heart attack survivors: those who lowered their level of sexual activity or stopped having sex at all in the first six months of their recovery, and those who went back to their normal level of sexual activity or increased it. The people who had more sex had a 35 percent lower risk of death over the next two decades.[2] For those who worry if sex is safe with heart disease, the American Heart Association (AHA) reports that as long as the condition is stabilized, you’re likely in the clear.[3] A good rule of thumb is if you can climb stairs or walk a mile without difficulty, it’s safe to have sex, per Johns Hopkins Medicine.[4] Sex is actually considered a rather good form of exercise: A small study showed that men burned an average of 4 calories a minute during sex sessions that averaged 25 minutes, and women burned off 3 calories.[5] That's a lot more fun than toiling away on a treadmill.
2. Sweet Pain Relief, Even From Menstrual Cramps Just looking at your partner — or even a photo of your partner — can help ease pain. In one study, people who were in the first nine months of a romantic relationship were exposed to thermal pain in a lab. They were shown photos of their romantic partners and other attractive people, and were engaged in a word game as a distraction. Participants reported looking at romantic partners significantly dulled the experience of pain, and brain imaging showed it also increased activity in areas associated with the brain’s reward system.[6] So if you think pain might be a barrier to full-on intercourse, take a moment to really look at your lover. There’s also evidence women may get some relief from menstrual cramps through a good orgasm. In an informal survey conducted by a privately owned sex toy company called Womanizer, 70 percent of women said regular masturbation had an impact on the intensity of their period pain. Of these women, 62 percent said regular masturbation reduced the intensity of period pain somewhat, while 31 percent said it reduced the intensity by a lot.
3. Less Stress and Lower Blood Pressure Sex can help relieve stress by raising endorphins and other hormones that boost mood, Dr. Wetter says. At the same time, sex also lowers stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, according to research.[8] What’s more, some research suggests sex may actually help lower blood pressure. A small study published in Sexual Medicine found that having sex the night before a blood pressure reading led to lower levels of systolic blood pressure. The more pleasurable the sex, the greater the effect appeared to be.

4. Possible Reduction of Prostate Cancer Risk A large prospective cohort study of nearly 32,000 U.S. men found that men who reported they ejaculated more than 21 times per month, compared with those who had done so four to seven times per month, were 20 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer.[10] While more research is needed to confirm this link, it appears that frequent ejaculation may lower your risk of prostate cancer. 5. Better Sleep With a Bonus: Increased Sexual Desire There’s a reason you and your partner tend to doze off shortly after a satisfying session — and wake up feeling refreshed. “Sex can improve sleep by the release of hormones called oxytocin, prolactin, and endorphins,” Wetter says. “This combination of hormones can produce a sedative effect.” https://finagarut22.diary.ru/p221952582_6-healthy-reasons-you-should-have-sex-right-now.htm This sleep connection also works in reverse: according to a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, getting enough shut-eye can improve your sexual response and may increase the chance that you'll engage regularly in sex. Researchers discovered that when women slept for longer periods of time, they reported greater sexual desire the next day.
6. Happier Mood and a Stronger Relationship It’s no wonder you’ve got a more positive outlook after sex: There are biochemical rationales for experiencing improved mood as a sex benefit, from the neurotransmitters that may be released during healthy sex to the mood enhancers contained in semen itself.
Plus, your frisky play may result in a serious afterglow that can, in turn, help you bond better with your partner. According to a study that examined newlywed couples who kept a two-week sexual diary, researchers found that partners were satisfied for a full 48 hours after sexual activity. And those who were lucky enough to experience this afterglow went on to report more happiness in their relationship several months later.

Women and Orgasm: Facts About the Female Climax
The female orgasm continues to be the subject of intense scientific interest. Doctors puzzle over the different means by which women can achieve orgasm and what can prevent orgasm in women.
Orgasm in Women: What Exactly Happens? When women climax, "there are changes throughout the whole body, a head-to-toe experience," says Michael Ingber, MD, a physician in urology and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at Garden State Urology in New Jersey, and a fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health.
RELATED: Healthy Sex: The Ultimate Guide
How Women Achieve Orgasm One of the ways that women experience orgasm is through a goal-oriented four-step process first described by sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson decades ago.[1] Excitement In a state of desire or arousal, the woman initiates or agrees to sex, and as it commences, she finds herself focusing mainly on sexual stimuli. Blood begins to engorge the clitoris, vagina, and nipples, and creates a full-body sexual blush. Heart rate and blood pressure increase. Testosterone and neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin are involved in these processes, says Dr. Ingber. Plateau Sexual tension builds as a precursor to orgasm. The outer one-third of the vagina becomes particularly engorged with blood, creating what researchers refer to as the "orgasmic platform." Focus on sexual stimuli drowns out all other sensations. Heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration continue to increase. Orgasm A series of rhythmic contractions occur in the uterus, vagina, and pelvic floor muscles. The sexual tension caused by lovemaking or self-stimulation releases, and muscles throughout the body may contract. A feeling of warmth usually emanates from the pelvis and spreads throughout the entire body. Resolution The body relaxes, with blood flowing away from the engorged sexual organs. Heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration return to normal.
The Orgasm Gap While researchers have carefully studied what happens to women during orgasm, they have also taken note that women do not have orgasms as often as men do in heterosexual sexual encounters. This is known as the “orgasm gap” and is a well-documented phenomenon among those who study sexuality.[2] However, a recent study by doctoral student Grace Wetzel showed that women who don’t have orgasms begin to believe that they are not going to have them and then indeed have fewer of them. This self-fulfilling sexual prophecy leads them to not prioritize their orgasms, which may make their sex lives less satisfying.[3] “The more orgasms that you have in your relationship, the more you expect to have and the more you want or desire them in that relationship,” Wetzel says. “The lower frequency of the orgasm gap disadvantages women, which may explain why women devalue orgasms. And that’s significant because if they place less emphasis on the orgasm, then they’ll have less pleasure. And if they continue to orgasm less and expect less, then the cycle will perpetuate.” As orgasm is one of the biggest predictors of sexual satisfaction and consequently a satisfactory relationship, Wetzel says, “there are benefits to working on this within people’s relationships.”
How do you close the orgasm gap? You need to emphasize sexual communication between partners,[4] prioritize clitoral stimulation for couples,[5] and de-emphasize the idea that biology stands in the way of a woman’s climax. “It’s not that women are difficult to bring to orgasm,” Wetzel says, adding that there’s nothing about their anatomy, genetics, or hormones that keeps women from orgasms — most women are able to have orgasms when they masturbate. Women should take the technique that works best for them in masturbation and bring that to their partnered sex.
Different Types of Stimulation, Different Types of Orgasm Women’s bodies are capable of experiencing orgasm in more ways than one. The most common type is a clitoral orgasm, says Ingber.

Clitoral stimulation has proved the surest route to orgasm. "I think that clitoral stimulation [produces] probably the closest analogue to male orgasm, where you get erectile tissue, there is release, and after release, it is uncomfortable to continue," says Steven R. Goldstein, MD, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine.
Vaginal Stimulation, the G-Spot, and Intense Sexual Pleasure Some women can also experience orgasm through vaginal stimulation, though it’s not super common. A study published in 2018 in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy found that about 18 percent of women could achieve orgasm through penetration alone.[6] One group of researchers credit the G-spot, an area named and described by Beverly Whipple, PhD, RN, a professor emerita at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey, and a past president of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists.
The G-spot is an area felt through the wall of the vagina, an inch or two behind the back of the pubic bone near the junction of the bladder and the urethra. It is made up of tissues of the clitoris, urethra, and paraurethral, or Skene's, glands, says Dr. Whipple. Some researchers believe that when stimulated, the G-spot causes intense sexual pleasure in some women; others question whether the G-spot is even real.
A research review published in Sexual Medicine looked at 31 studies on the matter and determined that 63 percent of women reported having a G-spot. However, in anatomic studies, some researchers could identify the G-spot’s location, while others could not. This led the review authors to conclude that its existence remains unproven. What’s more, in the studies that considered it to exist, there was no agreement on the location, size, or nature of the G-spot.[7] This can all make it very confusing for those trying to find their own G-spot. The main thing to remember is that everyone is different. Find what’s pleasurable and works for your body.
Is There Such a Thing as Female Ejaculation? Female ejaculation, sometimes called “squirting,” is another hot topic when it comes to how women experience sex. There’s not a ton of research on how often or why female ejaculation occurs, but there is agreement that it can happen and that it is normal.
According to a research review published in Clinical Anatomy, female ejaculation and squirting are separate. In both instances, fluid is expelled from the vagina. According to the authors, squirting occurs when liquid similar to urine is expelled from the bladder during orgasm. With female ejaculation, fluid that’s typically thick and milky is secreted from the Skene's glands during sexual activity, but it isn’t necessarily associated with orgasm. Both squirting and female ejaculation can occur at the same time. Some women may experience either or both frequently, while others may never experience them.[8] Sensory Pathways, Stimulation, and Orgasm Generation Women have also been able to have orgasms through stimulation of the breasts or other parts of the body, or through the use of sexual imagery without any touch at all. Researchers have even found a nerve pathway outside the spinal cord, through the sensory vagus nerve, that will lead a woman to experience orgasm through sensations transmitted directly to the brain.[9] "There are many nerve pathways that are responsible for the experience of orgasm in women," says Whipple. The Female Orgasm: Problems Getting There It is estimated that as many as a quarter of American women have problems experiencing orgasm, and about 10 to 15 percent have never achieved one.[10] While physical problems can keep a woman from experiencing orgasm, emotions can play a role, too. Some sex researchers say that anxiety and depression can prevent a woman from progressing along the sexual response cycle, says Ingber. Feelings of fear, guilt, distraction, or loss of control can also affect orgasm. Similarly to men with erectile dysfunction, women can sometimes have problems achieving or maintaining adequate blood flow, says Ingber.
Treatments and Therapies to Help Women Reach Orgasm Whether the barrier to orgasm is physical, psychological, or a bit of both, there are many ways for doctors and therapists to help you get past it. https://finagarut22.diary.ru/p221948737_women-and-orgasm-facts-about-the-female-climax.htm Behavioral Interventions Directed masturbation, sex education, and behavioral therapy are some of the means a woman might want to investigate if she cannot reach climax.
Women may also want to try different sexual devices, such as a vibrator to provide increased clitoral stimulation or a dildo crafted for better stimulation of the G-spot. “Additionally, vacuum devices can be used to improve libido and arousal,” says Ingber. “This applies gentle suction to the clitoris.”

Consulting a sex therapist could be very helpful, too. Sex therapists are specially trained licensed counselors who may be psychologists, psychiatrists, or other mental health professionals. They aim to help you get to the bottom of your sexual issues. Your therapist will help you work through emotional issues that may be contributing to sexual issues, according to Drogo Montague, MD, a urologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. They can help you see if issues in your relationship are causing you stress, he adds.

How Many Calories Do You Burn During Sex?
Let’s be real — for most of us, calorie burning isn’t top of mind when we’re about to get busy in the bedroom. But in this world of multitasking, it’s nice to know that while you’re connecting with your partner or playmate, you’re also moving your body and using up calories.
Although it might seem like a stretch to think of sex as a form of exercise, the two have more in common than you might think. For starters, both sex and exercise connect us to our bodies, says Jason Karp, PhD, a visiting professor of exercise science at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro and the author of Sexercise: Exercising Your Way to Better Sex.
“Research has shown that both exercise and sex are good for our health — and the more of each we get, the better,” says Dr. Karp.
And just as the intensity of exercise determines the number of calories used, the same goes for sex — as in, if your heart rate goes up when you’re fooling around, that’s a good start!
Now that we’ve gotten your attention, here’s what experts have to say about the calories you burn while engaging in sexual activities.
What Happens When You Get Physical in the Bedroom The energy expenditure (otherwise known as calories burned) of sex can be estimated by calculating the activity's intensity, the body weight of the person, and the time spent.
While there isn't much research on the calorie-burning benefits of sex, there are small studies that focus on younger adults. In those studies, sex is considered a form of physical activity that scientists say is equivalent to climbing two flights of stairs or walking briskly.
In studies on healthy men and women, it’s estimated that sex expends an average of 101 calories (4.2 calories per minute) in men and 69 calories (3.1 calories per minute) in women.
By comparison, a 160-pound person burns about 124 calories jogging for 10 minutes, burning an average of 12.4 calories per minute, according to the American Council on Exercise.
“Whoever is taking the more active role is burning more calories — women will burn more calories during sex if they are on top. In general, men tend to burn more calories during sex than women,” says Leah Millheiser, MD, a clinical professor and female sexual medicine expert at Stanford Health in California.

It isn’t just sex that gives males the calorie burning advantage. Because (in general) men have more muscle and less body fat than women, they use more calories at rest and while exercising, according to Mayo Clinic.
Number of Calories Burned During Sex Falls Short of Regular Exercise “Despite increases in breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure that occur during sex, it seems that sex, as a form of exercise, falls short of the cardiovascular and calorie-burning benefits of other types of exercise, like running, cycling, and lifting weights,” says Karp.
Heart rate and oxygen consumption during sexual intercourse are similar to values achieved during normal daily life activities, with sex being about as physically strenuous as walking two to four miles per hour, he adds.
Given that research suggests the average session of sexual activity lasts between 3 and 13 minutes, many of the estimates around sex and calorie burning are factoring in lots of foreplay or nonpenetrative sex. The more time you spend on oral sex, petting, hugging, and kissing, the more calories you’ll burn, says Dr. Millheiser.
Certain Sex Positions Require Strength and Endurance Many sex positions require muscular strength and muscular endurance, which burn calories, says Karp. “These include the Standing 69, the Aerial Dancer, Arm Hang, the Squatting Cowgirl, among others,” he says. Anyone attempting the Standing 69 needs to be strong and somewhat flexible — the move requires one person to lift the other off the ground so that each participant can give and receive oral sex.
There isn’t specific research into how many calories the different positions burn, but it’s safe to say it’s in the same 3 to 4 calories per minute range, says Karp.
Getting Creative With Your ‘Pregame’ Burns Calories, Too It takes energy to get into the mood with your partner. A 160-pound female in her thirties burns an estimated 145 calories giving a 30-minute massage. Take turns massaging each other; that way, you can both take advantage of the calorie burn (and its arousing effects).
Dancing — whether you head out to the club or make some suggestive moves in the privacy of your own bedroom — can be a fun and sexy way to connect. Bonus: A recent meta-analysis published in PLoS One revealed that dancing also promotes fat loss. A 140-pound woman burns about 100 calories during 30 minutes of dancing.
Sex and Exercise Connect Us to Our Bodies Moving more — through both sex and exercise — can have benefits for our health that go beyond fat burning, says Karp. Studies show that body image, which is enhanced with exercise, plays a vital role in sexual desire and satisfaction. But the benefits of exercise and sex transcend our sexual satisfaction and physical health — they connect us to who we are, notes Karp.
“The human experience is physical, and sex and exercise are perhaps the best expressions of our physical being,” he says. Not only can the activities connect us with other people (and sometimes, even to love) they can both help us live life more fully, adds Karp.

5 Common Nutrient Deficiencies Know the Signs
You may think vitamin and mineral deficiencies are a thing of the past, experienced only by sailors on long sea voyages. But even today, it’s possible to lack some of the essential nutrients your body needs to function optimally.
“Nutrient deficiencies alter bodily functions and processes at the most basic cellular level,” says Tricia L. Psota, PhD, RDN, a partner at Nutrition On Demand who is based in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. “These processes include water balance, enzyme function, nerve signaling, digestion, and metabolism. Resolving these deficiencies is important for optimal growth, development, and function.”
Nutrient deficiencies can also lead to diseases. “For example, calcium and vitamin D deficiencies can cause osteopenia or osteoporosis, two conditions marked by brittle bones,” says Kate Patton, RD, a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. “And inadequate iron can cause anemia, which zaps your energy.”
Telltale symptoms are usually the first clue that you are low in one or more important vitamins or minerals, says Patton. Here’s how to recognize seven common nutrient deficiencies.
1. Calcium: Numb, Tingling Fingers and Abnormal Heart Rhythm Calcium is important for maintaining strong bones and controlling muscle and nerve function, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Signs of severely low calcium include numb, tingling fingers and abnormal heart rhythms, says the Cleveland Clinic. That said, there are no short-term, obvious symptoms of calcium deficiency.
Most adults need 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium each day, though women over 50 and men over 70 need 1,200 mg, per the Mayo Clinic. Patton says you’ll likely get enough from at least three servings of milk or yogurt a day. Cheese is another good source of calcium, but if you’re not big on dairy, you can find this nutrient in calcium-fortified plant-based milks or breakfast cereal (check the nutrition facts label of the food to see if calcium has been added), and dark leafy greens like kale and broccoli, according to the NIH.
2. Vitamin D: Fatigue, Bone Pain, Mood Shifts, and More This vitamin is another that’s crucial for bone health and may also prevent some cancers, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency can be vague — fatigue, bone pain, mood changes, and muscle aches or weakness may set in.
“If it goes on long term, a vitamin D deficiency can lead to softening of the bones,” Dr. Psota says. Long-lasting deficiency also may be linked with cancers and autoimmune diseases, says Michelle Zive, PhD, a nutrition coach based in San Diego.
According to the NIH, most adults need 15 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin D each day, and adults older than 70 need 20 mcg. Patton suggests having three servings of fortified milk or yogurt daily and eating fatty fish, such as salmon or tuna, twice a week, as these are foods that contain vitamin D. Spend some time outside in the sunshine every day, too, as this is a great source of the nutrient. Ten to 30 minutes a few times a week of direct sunlight exposure should help, Dr. Zive says. But the NIH also notes that it can be hard to get your vitamin D needs solely from food and time in the sun, and so a supplement is often the best way to meet daily requirements for many people.
3. Potassium: Muscle Weakness, Constipation, Irregular Heart Rhythm, and More Potassium helps your heart, nerves, and muscles work properly and also delivers nutrients to cells while removing waste, according to MedlinePlus. Plus, it’s a useful nutrient that helps offset sodium’s negative impact on your blood pressure: “It’s important in maintaining a healthy blood pressure,” Zive says.
You could become low in potassium in the short term because of diarrhea or vomiting; excessive sweating; antibiotics, laxatives, or diuretics; excessive alcohol consumption; or because of a chronic condition like kidney disease, per the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms of a deficiency include muscle weakness, twitches, or cramps; constipation; tingling and numbness; and an abnormal heart rhythm or palpitations, says MedlinePlus.

For natural potassium sources, try bananas, milk, acorn squash, lentils, and kidney beans and other legumes. Adult men need 3,400 mg each day, and women need 2,600 mg, according to the NIH.
4. Iron: Fatigue, Shortness of Breath, Cold Hands and Feet, Brittle Nails, and More Iron is necessary to produce red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body, according to UCSF Health. When iron levels get too low, there may be a deficiency in red blood cells, resulting in a condition called anemia. Some groups at increased risk of iron deficiency include menstruating women, growing individuals (such as children and pregnant women), and those following a vegan or vegetarian diet, Zive says.
Anemia can leave you with symptoms including weakness and fatigue, shortness of breath, a fast heartbeat, pale skin, headache, cold hands and feet, a sore or swollen tongue, brittle nails, and cravings for strange things like dirt, according to the Mayo Clinic. The symptoms may be so mild at first that you don’t notice something’s wrong, but as iron stores become more depleted, they will become more intense.
To boost iron levels, Patton recommends eating iron-fortified cereal, beef, oysters, beans (especially lima, navy, and kidney beans), lentils, and spinach. Adult men and women over 50 need 8 mg per day, and adult women younger than 50 need 18 mg each day, according to the NIH.
5. Vitamin B12: Numbness, Fatigue, Swollen Tongue, and More Vitamin B12 aids the production of red blood cells and DNA, and also improves neurotransmitter function, according to the NIH. Vegetarians and vegans may be at particular risk for vitamin B12 deficiency because plants don’t make the nutrient, and people who’ve had weight loss surgery may also lack B12 because the procedure makes it difficult for the body to extract the nutrient from food, according to Harvard Health Publishing.
Symptoms of severe B12 deficiency include numbness in the legs, hands, or feet; problems with walking and balance; anemia; fatigue; weakness; a swollen, inflamed tongue; memory loss and difficulty thinking, per Harvard. These symptoms can come on quickly or gradually, and since there’s such a wide range of symptoms, you may not notice them for a while.
Adults need 2.4 mcg of B12 per day, according to the NIH. It’s most commonly found in animal products, and Patton recommends fish, chicken, milk, and yogurt to boost your B12 levels. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, Zive suggests opting for foods fortified with B12, such as plant-based milk and breakfast cereals. You can also find B12 in most multivitamins, notes the NIH, but if you’re at risk of being deficient, you can take a supplement specifically containing B12.

Greece shipwreck up to 100 children were below deck survivors say
Survivors from an overcrowded fishing boat that capsized and sank on Wednesday off the Greek coast in one of the worst disasters in the Mediterranean in recent years have told doctors and police that women and children were travelling in the hold of the vessel.
Seventy-eight people have been confirmed dead, but there are fears the number of victims could run into the hundreds.
“Right now everything is guesswork but we are working on the assumption that as many as 500 are missing,” said Nicolaos Spanoudakis, a police inspector. “Women and children, it seems, were in the hold.”
Doctors at Kalamata general hospital told Greek media and the BBC that survivors said as many 100 children had been in the bottom of the ship.
It has not been possible to verify the figure, though asked by a reporter from Greece’s ANT1 channel if there were 100 children onboard, one survivor replied: “Yes.”
On Thursday night it was announced that Greek authorities had arrested nine suspected people-smugglers believed to have piloted the vessel before it sank off the southern Peloponnese.
Skai TV reported that the nine – all men – were of Egyptian descent and were suspected of masterminding the illegal voyage of hundreds of people to Italy from Egypt, from where they had set out with the trawler.
“They are in custody and will appear before a local magistrate,” Nikos Alexiou, the Hellenic coastguard spokesperson, told the Guardian. “They are being held by the coastguard in Kalamata.”
A public prosecutor is likely to press several charges against the group including that of mass murder. Local media reports said the ship’s captain was not among them and had died when the vessel went down.
Erasmia Roumana from the United Nations’ refugee agency described the disaster as “really horrific” and added that the survivors were in a very bad psychological state. “Many are in shock, they are so overwhelmed,” she told reporters in the port of Kalamata. “Many worry about the people they travelled with – families or friends.”
All 104 survivors were men aged between 16 and 40, authorities said. Most spent the night in a warehouse in the port. “They’re from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and Egypt,” said Giorgos Farvas, Kalamata’s deputy mayor. “We’re talking about young men, mostly, who are in a state of huge psychological shock and exhaustion. Some fainted as they walked off the gangplanks from the vessels that brought them here.”
About 30 people were treated in hospital for pneumonia and exhaustion but were not in immediate danger, officials said, and several had been discharged.
Reports suggested up to 750 people had packed on to the fishing boat that capsized and sank early on Wednesday about 50 miles (80km) from the southern coastal town of Pylos while it was being shadowed by the Greek coastguard.
“The fishing boat was 25-30 metres long. Its deck was full of people, and we assume the interior was just as full,” a coastguard spokesperson said. A government spokesperson said smugglers were known to “lock people up to maintain control”.
Greece’s caretaker government has called three days of national mourning, with electoral campaigning ahead of polls on 25 June suspended.
Early on Thursday, a coastguard vessel sailed into Kalamata, transporting victims. After an official count, authorities revised the death toll to 78 from 79.

The coastguard said a surveillance plane from Europe’s Frontex agency had spotted the boat on Tuesday, but officials said people on the boat, which had set off from the Libyan port of Tobruk, repeatedly refused offers of help.
“It was a fishing boat packed with people who refused our assistance because they wanted to go to Italy,” the coastguard spokesperson, Nikos Alexiou, told Skai TV. “We stayed beside it in case it needed our assistance, which they had refused.”
A senior prosecutor on Thursday took over supervision of the investigation into the incident. Alexiou suggested the boat may also have capsized if the coastguard had attempted to stop it without the crew’s and passengers’ cooperation.
But Alexis Tsipras, the leftwing opposition leader, said during a visit to Kalamata port that survivors told him they had “called for help”.
He said:“What sort of protocol does not call for the rescue… of an overloaded boat about to sink?”
Tsipras, who was prime minister from 2015 to 2019 at the peak of Europe’s migration crisis, blamed the continent’s migration policy for the incident. “There are very big political responsibilities,” he said. “The immigration policy that Europe has been following for years … turns the Mediterranean, our seas, into watery graves.”
An independent refugee activist, Nawal Soufi, said on Facebook she had been in contact with people on the boat until 11pm on Tuesday. “The man I was talking to expressly told me: ‘I feel that this will be our last night alive,’” she wrote.
The boat’s engine gave up shortly before midnight UK time on Tuesday and it capsized soon afterwards, with coastguard experts saying the movement of people inside may have caused it to list and overturn. No one onboard was thought to be wearing a life jacket.
The acting Greek migration minister, Daniel Esdras, told the TV station ERT that Greece would examine survivors’ asylum claims but those not entitled to protection would be sent home.
The search operation was due to continue until at least Friday morning, according to government sources. The chances of retrieving the sunken vessel were remote, they said, because the area of international waters where the incident occurred was so deep.
“The chances of finding more people alive are minimal,” a retired Greek coastguard admiral, Nikos Spanos, told ERT. “We have seen old fishing boats like this before from Libya. They are not at all seaworthy. To put it simply, they are floating coffins.”
The deadliest migrant tragedy in Greece was in June 2016, when at least 320 people were listed as dead or missing in a sinking near Crete. Reuters and Agence France-Presse contributed to this report
