Let’s strip down to our skivvies and turn on some soft music to set the mood because you are in for a treat! Here are eight Health benefits you can take advantage of by having sex (and orgasms!) on a regular basis.
1. Mental Health Support
The act of sex has been known to release specific hormones that have a significant connection to decreasing one’s anxiety and depression. So, the next time you feel the urge to skip out on the freaky fun, try to remember your Mental Health can always use a Boost. Who doesn’t want to feel better inside AND out?
2. Youthful Appearance
Sexual acts and reaching a climax will trigger the release of a beautiful hormone called DHEA, which can tighten muscles and repair muscle and skin tissues. In the past, researchers have found that men and women who have good sex on a regular basis (and are safe about it) tend to look many years younger than they are. No more need for any age-defying cream now eh?
3. Improved Memory Function
Next time you’re bumping uglies with your partner make sure to thank them for the memory boost! Sex increases blood flow within the body, which then causes an increase in the flow of oxygenated cells that reach the brain’s hypothalamus gland.
The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in memory function and, when it gets that sexy boost, you’ll be thinking more clearly in no time. You may even remember what you forgot to buy at the store the other day if you’re lucky.
4. Unleash the Endorphins
Just like exercise or doing something you enjoy, sex and having an orgasm will immediately release a rush of endorphins. Endorphins are those happy little chemicals that your body naturally produces in times of joy, and thus, lots of sex will help keep that beautiful smile steadily on your face. They also have a fantastic effect on relieving stomachaches, headaches, and the lovely cramping women endure on a monthly basis. No more “I have a headache, babe” excuses, give in to the cure!
5. Better Sex, Better Sleep
There’s a reason we’re ready to snuggle up for sleep after a good sex session: a slight drop in blood pressure follows after an orgasm. It helps to soothe the soul, relaxes the body, and put the mind into a peaceful state that’s perfect for a good night’s sleep.
6. Counts as a Workout If You Do It Right
If you feel like skipping the gym and hooking up with your partner instead: do it! Research shows that a half hour of romping around in the sheets can burn anywhere from 80 to 100 calories. Eye-rolling pleasure and staying fit? What are you waiting for?!
7. Anti-Cancer Connection
Oxytocin is a natural hormone that has anti-cancer properties known to be able to decrease the chances that breast cancer tissue will form into a tumor. This is only one of many reasons foreplay shouldn’t be neglected since even more oxytocin is produced when the breasts are fondled. Give those twins the attention they deserve!
8. Boosted Immune System
Having normal amounts of sexual activity will increase the production of an antibody called immunoglobulin A. This powerful antibody helps to boost the immune system so the higher the number you have coursing through you, the better off you will be to combat common sicknesses such as colds and the flu.
Anything in life that’s good will always come with something terrible, and that certainly includes having sex. None of these benefits will be much good to you if you don’t take the proper precautions first, i.e., play it safe and be responsible. Once you stick to the basic rules to keep you and your partner safe, break out that booty and have all the sweaty, sexy fun you want!
