The Health Benefits of Sex

Sex is one of most enjoyable activities a man and woman can partake in. Not only is it fun, but it is also good for you. Studies have shown that sex can improve your health as well as reduce your physiological age by six years. Having frequent sex, which is about 200 hundred orgasms a year, will help prove that your body is functioning as it is supposed to be. Furthermore, having sex with someone you love and care for deeply strengthens the bond between the sexes. There is nothing else like having sexual intercourse with the one you love. But if that is not enough for you, here are other reasons you should be having sex tonight:

Sex Can Help Boost Your Immunity

Better than vitamin C. Having sex will help you better fight off infections as well as heal you faster if you are already sick. When you have sex once or twice a week, it will cause an increase in your immune function since sex will boost the number of antibodies that fight off germs.

Sex Can Help Reduce Chronic Pain

This is a natural painkiller that everyone will appreciate. When you have sexual intercourse, natural opiates in the brain such as corticosteroids and endorphins are released, which help soothe pain such as a headache or backache. But for it to work, you have to have an orgasm, which causes the release of oxytocin and morphine-like endorphins that nullify the nerve endings that cause pain.

Sex Can Help You Lose Weight

This is one exercise that everyone can enjoy. By just having one hour of sex over the course of a week, which is about two or three times a week, you will burn up to 100 calories. Now that is a workout everyone will like!

Sex Can Help You Sleep Better

Forget the sleeping pill. During sex, endorphins are released, which are your body’s natural painkillers. They not only make you feel good, but can also help you relax and make you sleep better.

Sex Can Help Strengthen Muscles

Thats right, ladies! When a woman has sex, it helps make her vaginal muscles stronger by contracting and stretching during intercourse. And because the muscles are stronger, there is an increased sensation during orgasm.

And If That Is Not Enough…

For men, it can help prevent prostrate cancer.
