Sex—whether you think of it as dirty, for procreative purposes only, or just plain old animal behavior, the fact is it is simply a demonstration of healthy heart function, and a powerful and blood-pumping body that’s saying “all systems go!”
Not only is an active sex life proof of your good health, but having sex actually boosts your health in return.
Immune System
Your immune system gets a booster as you benefit from antibodies such as immunoglobulin A. According to Yvonne K. Fulbright, PhD and Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, people who were sexually active took fewer sick days, indicating higher resistance against viruses and infections.
Heart Health
Sex is also legitimate exercise, as it burns about five calories per minute and boosts your heart rate, which has the same effect as cardiovascular workouts. Sex also balances the hormones estrogen and testosterone.
If you can never seem to find the time or motivation to exercise, plan on having more vigorous and porn-inspired athletic sex. It’s far more enjoyable than doing nothing. WebMD quoted another study stating that men who had sex at least twice a week were less likely to die of heart disease than men who rarely had sex.
Prostate Health
Sex decreased instances of prostate cancer in men, as studies published in theJournal of the American Medical Associationstated that men who ejaculated at least 21 times a month were less likely to have the disease.
Better Sleep
Insufficient sleep is a major problems for Americans and much of the working population, as is constant stress. Sex can help alleviate both, as prolactin helps lovers feel relaxed and sleepy after orgasm. Sex, in addition to a dopamine high (feel good hormone) and endorphin high (pain killing relaxing effect), also releases the hormone oxytocin, which reduces anxiety, and promotes a feeling of security in the company of our partner.
Natural Feel Good Hormones
Lastly, having sex leads to desiring more sex. While you have to deal with the consequences of partaking in drugs and alcohol, a lifetime of safe and responsible sex has no real downside and it’s a pleasant way of enjoying natural feel-good hormones without the addictive and tolerance-building properties of drugs.
Lauren Streicher, MD of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. States that “Having sex will make sex better and will improve your libido”, since it helps improve blood flow, lubrication in women, and better prostate health in men.
It is a guilt-free way to enjoy your life, improve your health and promote positive thinking. Not surprisingly, happier people having more sex live longer according to statistical evidence, as some studies are suggesting.
A survey of 5,000 Australians stated that men who were married were 135% more likely to report being happy than single men. Women scored lower in the survey, with only 52% reporting being happier than single women. However, this could have something to do with marriage being a booster of sexual activity.
Janice Shaw Crouse writes inMarriage Matters: Perspectives on the Private and Public Importance of Marriage, that anywhere from 25 to 300 percent of married couples have higher sexual activity than non-married people.
Sex, like eating, sleeping and working is just part of the human condition and the more effort you put into improving this aspect of your life, the better you will feel!
