Health benefits of sex

March 2, 2010


Sex can be a healthy activity. There are various reasons why sex can be good for you. Sex can help you get relief from head aches. During sex, endorphins are released into the body and these act as a form of morphine. This helps to relieve pain in the body, including headaches.

Your fitness levels can also be improved through sex because it is a great workout. This is because your body muscles are working during sexual activity and blood can start pumping faster taking oxygen throughout the body.

You can also burn calories and lose weight through sex. Every half an hour you can easily burn up to 150 calories. Your immunity against germs can also be improved with sex. This is because release of antibodies takes place inside the body during sex which can help in combating various types of germs mainly germs from the common cold. More antibodies get released with more sex. Hence those who have lots of sex suffer from lesser illnesses.

Men who have frequent sex also reduce their chances of developing prostrate cancer later in life according to a study conducted in Australia. You can also enjoy better sleep following sex. Sex helps in releasing endorphins which helps to relax the body and enables a person to have better sleep.

You can also enjoy healthy skin because of sex. This is because of the hormone called DHEA which gets released into the body. This hormone helps to clean skin and keeps it shiny and younger looking.  Your brain can also work in a better way when you have regular sex. This is because sex helps in better circulation of blood to the brain and all other parts of the body. This helps the brain to perform better.

You can also find relief from stress because of sexual activity. The hormones that are released into your body makes you feel better almost immediately while getting your blood up. You can also feel more intimacy with others apart from experiencing improved mental well being. However stress can increase if you start having sex with multiple partners. Also health problems may surface by having sex with many partners.
