17 Little Known Benefits Of Having Sex by healthprincipa2: 8:16am On Aug 08, 2017
Beyond the pleasure that sex brings, there are other healthy sidekicks that comes with sex.

The legal and moral license for sex is in marriage and we will explore sex from this pedestal. Regular sex can increase intimacy .
Sex is a beautiful experience when done within the right environment and with the right person. From ridding you of stress, aches, to giving you a glow, sex is no doubt good for your health. So let’s read on to see the amazing health benefits

Sex Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Stuart Brody (Phd), author and psychology professor in his study said that the reason this is so is because during sex, feel good hormones such as endorphins and oxytocin are released in the body. These feel good hormones help to create feelings of intimacy and relaxation by activating pleasure centers in the brain. These hormones then help to ward off any form of anxiety or depression.

2. Better Sleep

It’s a no brainer that a good session of sex can send you to lala land. This is because the same hormones (endorphins) responsible for helping you de-stress and relax can also send you to sleep.

Cindy M. Meston, Ph.D., co-author of ‘Why Women Have Sex;, director of the Sexual Psycho-physiology Laboratory at the University of Texas(Austin), said that during an orgasm prolactin is released. According to her, when we sleep or have sex, our prolactin levels go up a notch

3. An Anaesthetic

This may sound surreal but research has shown that sex can help ease excruciating aches and back strains. The powerful surge of hormones released after an orgasm can relieve a pounding headache or aching back. A study conducted at the Headache Clinic of Southern Illinois University revealed that half of the females who suffered from migraine sufferers were reported to experience relief after climaxing.

Meston says that the endorphins or feel good hormones that are released during an orgasm act like morphine( a pain reliever), and they can effectively relieve pain or stress.

4. Stronger Immune System

You are cold and your nose is running? Not to worry, just get under the sheets with your partner. Regular sex can help strengthen your immune system when you have a bad cold or fever. A research at Wilkies University showed that people who have sex regularly were found to have higher levels of Immunoglobin A. Immunoglobin A is an antibody that helps the body combat diseases and keeps it secure from flu and other infections. So be sick no more. You know just what to do.
