Sex is good, very good.

No matter what you think of it, sex is just one thing, which is why some folks cannot seem to get enough of it.

Interestingly, a few people however see sex as nothing but an exercise for pro-creation.

If you're not making babies, then there is no point to having sex.

The truth is that sex is not as pleasurable as it is healthy and a very active sex life — where health risks are eliminated, has many benefits for you as a person.

The following are some of the benefits of sex:


Sex keeps you fit: The physical exertion during sex is the same thing as a gym workout which keeps you in shape. Having sex regularly keeps your weight in check because you can burn up to 250 calories in an hour of sex. All major muscles in your body also get exercised during sex.


Sex relaxes you and lifts your your mood: During sex, especially when you have an orgasm, your body releases hormones, oxytocin in women, which generates emotional feelings such as warmth and nurturing. Sex also triggers the release of endorphins (feel-good chemicals) secreted that act as effective painkillers and takes pressure off the brain. Haven't you wondered why you usually feel relaxed after having good sex with someone you actually have feeling for?


Sex protects your heart, boosts your immunity and makes you live longer: Regular sex can help raise the level of testosterone which is said to protect the heart.


Sex keeps your skin fresh... makes you look young always: According to scientists sex is an aerobic form of exercise and having regular sex can make you look between four and seven years younger than your real age. During sex, blood being pumped around the body pushes up fresher skin cells to the surface of the skin — you then maintain an ever young appearance.


Sex boosts your immunity: Scientists have proven that regular sex also helps improve stimulate your immune system.

So go there and make love because sex is more than procreation. It is an act of love that can also have immense health benefits for you.
