Get over it, we’re all sexual creatures, there is nothing raunchy about sex! We all love sex… I think… or at least you should love sex and want to engage in the act. Besides feeling fantastic, sex is working in your favour in so many other ways! You think milk does a body good? Ha! SEX DOES A BODY GOOD! Sex is both physical and psychological.
Sex and Sleep
Research shows that oxytocin is released during orgasm which promotes sleep. This might explain the man who’s not so into the cuddle after and who passes out after he’s done his job. We know that sleep is vital to good health and can help with weight loss, mental state and over all well-being.
Sex and Calorie Burn
Sexathon! Go at it, 85 calories per 30 minutes. Get freaky hot and sweaty and increase that number. 42 half-hour sessions will burn 3,570 calories, more than enough to lose a pound!
Immunity Boost
Having sex on the regularly increases your physical health. Having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other infections.
Stress Reliever
Enough said — Sex reduces blood pressure, stress levels and cortisol levels.
Sex for the Heart
If you don’t love the guy or girl you’re with, make sex about your heart. Having sex twice or more a week reduced the risk of fatal heart attack by half for men, compared with those who had sex less than once a month.
Sex and Esteem
You all know about that glow you get after sex? This glow comes from the endorphins released during orgasm. The same endorphins are responsible for making you feel on top of the world.
Sex Makes You Nice!
Getting up close and personal increases levels of the so-called love hormone oxytocin, which helps us bond and build trust. Oxytocin allows us to feel the urge to nurture and to bond. Higher oxytocin has also been linked with a feeling of generosity.
Sex and Pain
When oxytocin surges, endorphins increase, and pain declines. So if you have a headache, backache, stomach ache or even PMS, get between the sheets.
Get freaky, get nasty, enjoy sex! Be safe and smart— Wrap it up boys!
