Health Benefits of Sex
Sex not only makes you feel good; the health benefits of sex are considerable. It can even help you live longer.
Researchers from the Queen's University Belfast found that even the thought of sex can be healthy. It elevates your heart rate slightly and releases a range of positive hormones into your body.
How Sex is good for your Health
Sex is great for your general well-being. Here's how:
1. It's a mild antidepressant and can ease anxiety.
2. Sex is good for your heart and circulation.
3. People having sex once or twice a week has one-third higher level of immunoglogin A, which is well known to boost immunity.
4. Having more sex prevents erectile dysfunction (make sure you share this information with your honey!)
But wait, there's more!
Sex helps you Live Longer
When researchers tracked the death rates of 1 000 middle-aged men over 10 years, they found that those who had the most orgasms had half the death rate of those who were less sexually active.
A follow-on study revealed that having sex three or more times a week reduced men's risks of heart attack and stroke by half.
Other Health Benefits
The health benefits of sex also pertains to your emotional health.
Touch makes us feel loved, which creates emotional intimacy and increases self-esteem.
After all, sex with your partner is the one thing that separates the relationship with your partner from the other relationships in your life. Sexual intimacy makes it different and special.
