We all like sex, we all crave sex, we all need sex! So it’s nice to know that in addition to being really fun, sex has many health perks as well. Stand prepared and gird your loins for the top health benefits sex can bring to your life.
1. Boosts your Immune System
Sex can help boost your antibody count which is good. Antibodies fight off infections and any other nasty things that like to make you ill or rundown. More sex = better immune system.
2. Boosts a Woman’s Bladder Control
Sounds funny but the more sex a woman has, the greater her bladder control becomes. A strong pelvic floor helps to fight incontinence in later life and helps strengthen the muscles needed in child birth. When a woman has an orgasm it causes the pelvic muscles to contract which strengthens them.
3. Increases Libido
Less sex means your body has a lower libido. More sex increases the libido.
4. Lowers blood pressure
Like all relaxation activity, sex will lower your blood pressure. Just more so.
5. Lowers the risk of a heart attack
Sex increases your heart rate and gets the blood pumping. This helps to unclog blocked arteries lowering your risk of a heart attack in later life.
6. Like the gym but more fun
Yep, sex counts as exercise. The more vigorous the better.
7. Can reduce the chances of prostate cancer in men
The prostate controls and regulates ejaculation and a study found that a man who ejaculates more than 21 times a month is less likely to develop prostate cancer. To be fair you don’t have to have sex to do this, but having sex is more fun than masturbating.
8. Lowers stress levels
If you’ve been stressed out at work or at home, sex can greatly reduce the levels. Endorphins flood the body during sex and have a calming and relaxed effect.
9. Improves your sleep
You’ll always get a better night’s sleep after a good sex session. It relaxes your body which prepares you for sleep.
10. Good for pain
Sounds bizarre, but not that much when you think about it. The more endorphins are released into your body, the lower your pain level becomes.
