Sexuality is a topic that is in the focus of many
scientists for many years and in the past few decades we’ve found a lot more
about sex and sexuality that we have known throughout our whole history. These
researches have confirmed one thing that was believed to be true for many
centuries – sex is very healthy. Regular sexual intercourses strengthen
muscles, reduce the possibility of heart attack, improve blood flow etc. Regular
sexual intercourses also act as analgesics and anti-depressants, promote
relaxation and have positive impacts on our overall appearance and condition.
According to some experts sex can extend our lifespan
up to ten years. There is no doubt that sexually inactive people die long
before those who practice sex regularly. The risk of sudden death is as twice
as lower in people that have experienced orgasms at least two times a week
compared to those who have experienced orgasms twice in a year. People who can
manage to achieve at least one hundred orgasms per year can expect extension of
their lifespan of up to eight years and reduce the mortality risk for 50%.
These numbers are really impressive and most importantly proven by experts.
As you probably know, when you practice sex, the brain
releases large quantities of endorphin (so-called “hormone of happiness”). This
hormone reduces stress levels and boosts mood. Another hormone that is released
during sex is oxytocin. Right before the intense orgasm, we have five times more
oxytocin in our body and this leads to release of endorphin. These hormones are
known to help with headaches, migraines, arthritis etc. The benefits of sex are
not felt only during the sex. Sexual intercourses strengthen the bond between
partners, improve self-confidence, and encourage positive thinking and
optimism. Regular sex can also improve your sleeping habits.
Sex is just like sport or some other physical activity
because we spend a lot of energy while doing it. According to some studies
people burn more than 400 calories during one sexual intercourse. You can
easily compare this with some physical activity like running for one hour. Sex
activates all our muscles and it is especially useful for the gluteal muscles,
pelvis, thigh and abdominal muscles. Instead of going to a gym every day you
can skip a session and have sex. A woman’s body produces two times estrogen
during sex which leads to synthesis of collagen. Collagen is very useful when
it comes to skin and hair quality. Sexual intercourse also causes increased
secretion of pheromones that subconsciously attracts the opposite sex. In this
way you will look more attractive and you will boost your self-confidence.
