If you ever needed an excuse to
have sex, there are a lot of them. Aside from the fact that it is obviously
enjoyable and fun, there are so many wonderful and blissful reasons to have
sex. Not only will it reduce pain, your health status will be better:
1. Cardio
Activity: sex is classified as a form of cardiovascular exercise, by this we
refer to the heart and blood vessels – tubes that carry blood around the body. This,
as an exercise, is said to be more enjoyable than going for a jog. The more sex
you have, the better your heart health is likely to be. And in the course of
this, though, you have to take an active role, or you won’t reap the same
benefits.
2. It
Reduces pain: if headache has been an excuse for you not to have sex, it sure
will not be an obstacle any more after you have read this. When women reach
orgasm, that is, the moment of greatest pleasure and excitement during sexual
activity, the body produces an analgesic effect, which means the pleasure gives
you a type of drug which stops you from feeling pain. Your pain or headache won’t
necessarily go, but you’ll certainly feel less pain.
3. Good
Hormones: the general feeling and benefit sex provides, whether or not you
achieve an orgasm, is that your body releases oxytocin and dopamine. Oxytocin hormone
increases its levels when we hug or kiss a loved one. These hormones are also
released when you simply cuddle, and help to improve your mood and increase
feelings of happiness.
4. Better
Sleep: Ever wondered the reason you feel so tired after having sex? It could, of
course, be that you’re just a bit worn out, but it’s also because sexual
activity promotes the release of prolactin. This hormone determines feelings of
satisfaction, and is higher during sleep. Because of this positive correlation,
it’s likely that having sex can increase your chances of sleeping without
trouble.
5. Healthy
Glow: again, if you play a more active role, having sex will get your body
circulating. This, in turn, brings fresh blood cells and oxygen to the surface
of the skin, and gives you a healthy glow.
6. Stronger
Immunity: according to a study, having frequent sex can strengthen the immune
system, helping the body to fight against disease.
7. Weight
Loss: Because sex is technically cardiovascular activity, it’s a great way to
burn some fat while spending quality time with your partner. On average, 30
minutes of sex will burn 85 calories. This means that if you have sex every day
for a week, you have burned an extra 595 calories without even really trying.
8. Confidence
Boost: Having sex can give you a confidence boost, whether you suffer from low
self-esteem or are already happy with yourself.
