Sexual Benefits On Health

Sex is something that we relate to pleasure only but study shows that apart from just pleasure sexual intimacy has lots of health benefits that you may not know. It may come to a big surprise to some people to know about the emotional and physical benefits of sexual intimacy.

Study says that safe sex does our body good in number of ways.

  1. Helps as a stress buster: Stress causes our blood pressure to rise but sex helps in relieving the stress by lowering the blood pressure of our body.
  2. Makes the relationship stronger: It’s been found that couples which are more active in sexual activities are better in handling their relationship compared to those who do not have any sexual chemistry. This is also because a good sexual chemistry between couples keeps them closer and they are also more loyal to their respective partners.
  3. Helps people sleep better: During orgasm a hormone is secreted which promotes sleep. A sound sleep is very important for maintaining good health.
  4. Relieves pain: Sex gives pleasure which helps in releasing hormones called endorphins in our body which relives any kind of pain like headache.
  5. Boosts Self-esteem: Research says that if the sex if loving and fulfilling in a way you want, it will really help in boosting self-esteem.
  6. Strengthens immunity: Healthy sex also helps in strengthening the immunity stronger by building antibodies, which helps fight disease better.
  7. Burn calories: During a sex of thirty minutes our body burns around 100-200 calories. Sex is surely a great mode of exercise and helps you keep fit by losing extra calories.
  8. Reduces risk of heart disease: Research also shows that having sex once or twice in a week helps improve the heart condition. There are no adverse effects on heart as some old chumps might worry about it. It only helps in making the blood circulation better and also giving a natural workout to our heart.
  9. Reduces the risk on Prostate cancer: Research shows that as men grow older and less sexually active, they are more prone to prostate cancer compared to those sexually active men.
  10. Makes you feel younger: Staying sexually active till the late ages doesn’t make you feel as old. When you are sexually active till late ages, it’s probably because of your good health condition.
