The benefits aren””t just anecdotal or hearsay but are actually backed by scientific scrutiny. Studies have established that enjoying a rigorous romp can do wonders for both physical and psychological health! Here are a few perks for enjoying some midnight nooky with your steady partner!
Beauty benefits of sex
Forget your blushers and overly expensive face serums gals! If you want a heavenly glow on your skin make sure to get some alone time in with your guy! Regular sex flushes out toxins, improves blood circulation which helps to pump oxygen to your skin and make it brighter. Sweating while having sex cleans the dirt grime form skin pores.Getting busy beneath the sheets boosts collagen production, which wards off age spots and sagging.
Helps burn calories
Sex can be a great exercise and is comparable to a modest workout on the treadmill. Getting frisky in the sack can burn anywhere from 85 to 250 calories, depending on whether it is a quickie or an all-night pleasure fest.
Improves women””s bladder control
Incontinence is something that will affect about 30% of women at some point in their lives. Good sex strengthens the pelvis muscles controlling the flow of urine which leads to a better control of the bladder.
Better sleep
An evening romp promotes good sleep. That intense relaxation you feel due to an oxytocin rush right after the big O can actually make you doze off faster. According to experts, regular romps are the all-natural way to help catch that much needed shuteye.
Revs up immunity
People who engage in sex once or twice a week have higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin which strengthens the immune system. Sexual activity shields your body against germs and viruses that can help you avoid coming down with the sniffles.
Pain reliever
Sex is more effective than typical painkillers. The rush of endorphins released right before a climax are similar in structure to opiates and can help ease any annoying ache, from a head pounder, strained back, to arthritis or migraines.
Sex fights cancer
Various studies have shown that sex protects against prostate cancer. According to an Australian research, high ejaculation frequency and sexual activity are tied to a lower threat of the malignancy later in life. Additionally, women who are sexually active have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who abstain.
Heart healthy
A healthy sexual life is good for your heart. Apart from raising your heart rate, getting hot and heavy in the sack helps keep estrogen and testosterone levels in balance.
Now that you know that sex not only feels good but is a cure-all you have a pretty legitimate reason to regularly work up a sweat in bed!
