A good sex life is good for your heart
Health Benefits of Sex: Females
Helps Keep Your Immune System Humming:
You should still do all the other things that make your immune system happy, such as:
- Eat right.
- Stay active.
- Get enough sleep.
- Keep up with your vaccinations.
- Use a condom if you don’t know both of your STD statuses.
Sexually active people take fewer sick days.
People who have sex have higher levels of what defends your body against germs, viruses, and other intruders.
Boosts Your Libido
Longing for a more lively sex life? Having sex will make sex better and will improve your libido.
For women, having sex ups lubrication, blood flow, and elasticity, all of which make sex feel better and help you crave more of it.
A strong pelvic floor is important for avoiding incontinence, something that will affect about 30% of women at some point in their lives.
Good sex is like a workout for your pelvic floor muscles. When you have an orgasm, it causes contractions in those muscles, which strengthens them.
Counts as Exercise
Sex is a really great form of exercise. It won’t replace the treadmill, but it counts for something.
Sex uses about five calories per minute, four more calories than watching TV. It gives you a one-two punch: It bumps up your heart rate and uses various muscles.
So get busy! You may even want to clear your schedule to make time for it on a regular basis. Like with exercise, consistency helps maximize the benefits.
A good sex life is good for your heart. Besides being a great way to raise your heart rate, sex helps keep your estrogenand testosterone
When either one of those is low you begin to get lots of problems, like osteoporosis and even heart disease.
Lessens Pain
Before you reach for an aspirin, try for an orgasm.
Orgasm can block pain. It releases a hormone that helps raise your pain threshold.
Stimulation without orgasm can also do the trick. We’ve found that stimulation can block chronic back and leg pain, and many women have told us that genital self-stimulation can reduce menstrual cramps, arthritic pain, and in some cases even headache.
May Make Prostate Cancer Less Likely
Going for the gusto may help ward off prostate cancer.
Men who ejaculated frequently (at least 21 times a month) were less likely to get prostate cancer.
You don’t need a partner to reap this benefit: Sexual intercourse, nocturnal emission, and masturbation were all part of the equation.
Improves Sleep
You may nod off more quickly after sex, and for good reason.
After orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released, which is responsible for the feelings of relaxation and sleepiness.
Eases Stress
Being close to your partner can soothe stress and anxiety.
touching and hugging can release your body’s natural “feel-good hormone.” Sexual arousal releases a brain chemical that revs up your brain’s pleasure and reward system.
Sex and intimacy can boost your self-esteem and happiness, too. It’s not only a prescription for a healthy life, but a happy one.
