6 Health Advantages Of Sex - Check It Out by Revolva(m): 1:45pm On May 07, 2019
Sex is of course important for a loving relationship. But did you know that your immune system, blood pressure and heart also Advantage greatly? Lustplugs discussed six health Advantages of sex that have emerged from scientific research.

Advantage 1: Sex reduces stress Sex helps to reduce stress.

This emerged from a Scottish study published in Biological Psychology . In the study, 46 participants kept a diary of their sexual activities. This included sex with penetration, sex without penetration and masturbation. The participants were then exposed to stressful situations such as a calculation test and public speaking. The participants with the least sexual activity showed the highest increase in blood pressure and feelings of stress. The participants who had regular sex showed the lowest increase in blood pressure . This outcome suggests that sex has a stress-reducing effect. Incidentally, pet, hugging or stroking have the same positive effect on your blood pressure.

Advantage 2: Sex strengthens your immune system

There is a link between the amount of sex you have and how strong your immune system is. At least, scientists at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania claim this. Their research showed that people who have sex regularly (once or twice a week) have a higher level of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) than people who have sex less often. IgA are antibodies that protect you against bacteria and viruses. However, this does not mean that the more sex you have, the stronger your immune system is. The people who had sex more than three times a week, on the other hand, had a lower IgA content than the people who had sex once or twice a week.

Advantage 3: Sex improves the condition of the heart and blood vessels in men

During sexual activity, the heartbeat speeds up and the blood flows through the blood vessels faster. Just like with sports, this is good for the heart and blood vessels and thus reduces the risk of getting a heart attack. The elderly may be concerned that exercise during sex is bad for their heart. But according to English scientists these worries are not necessary. They followed 914 men for more than twenty years and found that a heart attack was not a result of sex. The opposite turned out to be true. The risk of having a heart attack decreased by half with sex twice a week, compared to men who had sex less than once a month.

Advantage 4: Sex relieves pain

Through sex your body produces the hormone oxytocin (also known as the hug hormone). This hormone provides a feeling of trust, attachment and connectedness. Around the birth women make extra oxytocin, so that they start to attach themselves extra to their child. Oxytocin then stimulates the production of endorphins : also known as the lucky hormone. This hormone works as a natural painkiller. It is therefore possible that you have less headache , menstrual complaints or muscle aches after sex .

Advantage 5: Sex reduces the risk of prostate cancer

According to Australian scientists, regular ejaculation (ejaculation) would reduce the risk of prostate cancer. They wrote this in the British Journal of Urology International. Men who had five or more ejaculations every week in their twenties reduced their chance of developing prostate cancer by a third later. Another study found that older men also Advantage from regular ejaculation. Older men who ejaculated 21 times or more per month were less likely to have prostate cancer than men with four to seven ejaculations per month.

Advantage 6: Sex helps women against incontinence


Women train the pelvic floor muscles through sex. They contract and become stronger during orgasm. Relaxation of these muscles, which, among other things, keep the bladder in place, can cause accidental loss of urine. So with a good condition of the pelvic floor muscles, women not only enjoy sex more but also reduce the risk of incontinence.
