Heard that song called Sexual Healing? It's not just a metaphor. Sex can actually heal. It can heal your body and mind and also prevent lots of diseases. Some say it's the first medicine ever known to man and it should be administered daily. Sounds too good to be true? Let's discover the five reasons to have sex each day.
Great Form of Exercise
Making love is a form of physical activity. During intercourse, the physiological changes in your body are consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the respoiratory rate rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex three times a week for 15 minutes you will burn about 7,500 calories in a year. That's the equivalent of jogging 120km! Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.
Pain Relief
The "honey, not today. I have a headache" cannot be an excuse anymore. During sex, both male and female bodies produce endorphins, hormones that act as a weak painkiller. A study conducted by reknowned sex therapist, Gina Ogden, showed that during sexual stimulation and especially during orgasm, we don't feel pain. If shefind another excuse, remind her that sex is good for the entire reproductive system, because it trains the PC muscle, which keeps the reproductive organs in shape. In women, sex can also increase fertility, postpone the menopause and relieve PMS symptoms.
Prostate Protection
Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular ejaculation will wash those fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age. Problems may also occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.
Prevents Erectile Dysfunctions
Fifty percent of men older than 40 suffer from erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they won't be able to get it up anymore. The best medicine against impotence is... sex. An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile arteries, so the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic reflex: the more you train the more capable you are to perform.
Stress Relief
It's a scientific fact; sex can be a very effective way of reducing stress levels. During sex your body produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, also known as "happiness hormones" and oxytocin, a desire enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.
