The perks of s e x extend well beyond the bedroom...
There are many surprising health benefits of s e x such as relieving stress, boosting your immunity, and more.
s e x is not only pleasurable, did you know it’s also good for you? It’s true. The benefits of s e x range from slashing stress levels to lowering your risk of cancer and heart attacks. s e x facilitates bonding and feelings of intimacy with your partner. This kind of connectedness does more than make you feel warm and fuzzy, it actually reduces anxiety and boosts your overall health.
How would you like a stronger immune system or better sleep? Action between the sheets can help you get all of this and more.
1. Get Less Colds & Boost Your Immune System
s e x can help boost the immune system.
More s e x equals fewer sick days. That’s what the results of studies comparing Erotic active people to those who are not Erotic active say. s e x boosts your body’s ability to make protective antibodies against bacteria, viruses, and other germs that cause common illnesses. Of course, there’s more to cultivating a robust immune system than having a healthy s e x life. Eating right, exercising, getting adequate sleep, and keeping up to date with vaccinations all contribute to having strong and healthy defenses against contagious illnesses.
2. Boost Your Libido
Believe it or not, the best antidote for a waning libido is to have s e x ! Having s e x actually boosts desire. And if pain and hymen dryness make it challenging for some women to have s e x, Erotic activity can help combat these problems, too. s e x boosts hymen lubrication, blood flow to the hymen , and elasticity of the tissues, all of which make for better, more pleasurable s e x and heightened libido.
3. Improve Women's Bladder Control
Urinary incontinence affects about 30% of women at some point in life. Having regular orgasms works a woman’s pelvic floor muscles, strengthening and toning them. Orgasms activate the same muscles that women use when doing Kegel exercises. Having stronger pelvic muscles means there’s less risk of accidents and urine leaks.
4. Lower Your Blood Pressure
Are you one of the millions of people who suffer from high blood pressure? s e x can help you lower it. Many studies have documented a link between intercourse specifically (not masturbation) and lower systolic blood pressure, the first number that appears on a blood pressure test. That’s good news for individuals looking for an easy adjunct to lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress reduction) and medication strategies to get blood pressure into a healthy range. s e x sessions cannot replace blood-pressure lowering drugs to control high blood pressure, but they may be a useful addition.
5. Counts as Exercise
Like every other kind of physical activity, s e x burns calories, too! Sitting and watching TV burns about 1 calorie per minute. Having s e x increases your heart rate and utilizes various muscle groups, burning about 5 calories per minute. Regular s e x cannot replace sessions at the gym, but a having an active, healthy s e x life is a nice way to get some extra physical activity.
6. Lower Heart Attack Risk
Want a healthier heart? Have more s e x. Erotic activity helps keep levels of hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, in check. When these hormones are out of balance, conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis may develop. When it comes to protecting heart health by having s e x, more is better. One study in men showed that those who had s e x at least 2 times a week were 50% less likely to die of heart disease than their less Erotic active peers.
7. Lessen Pain
Erotic stimulation (including masturbation) and orgasm can help keep pain at bay. Both activities can reduce pain sensation and increase your pain threshold. Orgasms result in the release of hormones that can help block pain signals. Some women report that self-stimulation through masturbation can reduce symptoms of menstrual cramps, arthritis, and even headache.
8. May Reduce Prostate Cancer Risk
There are male-specific health benefits of s e x, too. One study showed that men who had frequent ejaculations (defined as 21 times a month or more) were less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who had fewer ejaculations. It did not matter if the ejaculations occurred through intercourse, masturbation, or nocturnal emissions. Of course, there’s more to prostate cancer risk than frequency of ejaculations, but this was one interesting finding.
9. Improve Sleep
s e x can help you sleep better. That’s because orgasm simulates the release of a hormone called prolactin, a natural sleep aide. Prolactin promotes feelings of relaxation and sleepiness. This is just one of the reasons you may notice that you have an easier time falling asleep after having s e x.
10. Relieve Stress
s e x is a great stress reliever. That’s because touching, hugging, Erotic intimacy, and emotional attachment stimulate the release of “feel good” substances that promote bonding and calmness. Erotic arousal also releases substances that stimulate the reward and pleasure system in the brain. Fostering intimacy and closeness can help relieve anxiety and boost overall health.
