10 benefits of sex you never thought about (+18)
I don't know how much sex you are having but if it less than twice a week, you are not having enough. Regular sex can be good for your heart, keep your brain sharp and make you appear younger among other things. Below are 10 reasons why you should be having more sex.
1. Stress
Even though a lot of people cite sex as the reason they are not having enough sex, missing the fact that sex has been proven to be an effective stress reliever. As research has shown that having sex shows a significantly reduced rate in the level of stress hormones that lead to high blood pressure .Men who have sex at least twice a week are less likely to have a heart attack compared to those who don't. When next you are feeling stressed, you can use sex to achieve that post-orgasm clear head and calmness.
2. Happiness
People that have sex often are generally happier. When we have sex, our body releases a feel-good hormone called oxytocin that creates a feeling of happiness and contentedness. So when next you are feeling sad, you probably need more sex.
3. Sleep
Not having enough sex has been linked to sleeplessness and irritability as the body releases a hormone that aids in sleep after orgasms. So before you pop that sleeping pill, have some sex first.
4. Fitness
In as much as we can't equate 'sexercise' with running or heavy lifting, it has been shown to improve fitness, increase oxygen flow to muscles, tone abdominal and pelvic muscles that leads to improved bladder control. An hour under the sheet can be equated to a 30mins brisk walking or running up and down 2 flights of stairs. To increase your heart bit rate and some light aerobics, have some sex.
5. Better Memory
Having frequent sex has been associated with better cognitive functions and growth of new brain cells as research has shown that adults 50 years and older that have frequent sex have better memory performance compared to those that don't. If you are not remembering things as you should, you probably need more sex.
6. Popping Skin
I am sure we have all heard of the post-orgasm glow, forget lotions and cream, the secret to a glowing youthful look is in-between your legs. Women who have more sex have higher levels of estrogen, which is essential to enjoying healthier, smoother skin. According to research, when you have sex an average of four times a week, you are more likely to look ten years younger, so before you start investing in expensive glow products, have you tried having more sex?
PS - casual sex with multiple partners has been shown to lead to premature aging, so don't go about having sex with everybody and anybody in search of the fountain of youth.
7. Pain Management
Sex has been shown to reduce sensitivity to pain and has been shown to relieve back and headache as the body releases endorphin natural pain-relieving hormones during sex. So when next you are having some pains, could it be that you just need more sex.
8. Period
Frequent sex has been shown to increase a woman's sensitivity to sex, boosts libido, increase vagina lubrication and reduce the pain associated with cramps and balances out hormones leading to lighter menstrual periods. So when next you want to reduce your chance of a less stressful period, have more sex.
9. Cancer
Men who ejaculate an average of five times a week are less likely to developed aggressive prostate cancer compared to men who ejaculate less than three times a week. As ejaculations prevent carcinogens from building up in the prostate. Next time you are looking at doing something your future self will thank you for, have more sex.
10. Commitment
You can have great sex without having a great relationship but you can't have a great relationship without great sex. Couples that have sex frequently are more likely to stay together as bonding hormones are produced sex that makes you more tolerable of one another. Having sex in a monogamous relationship increases commitment to one another and helps them connect emotionally. When things are going well in the bedroom it will most likely spill into other aspects of your relationship .
