Having s*x every day of your life could actually be saving you from a lot of health hazards and prolonging your life.

Are you stressed? Struggling to sleep? Turns out there are a number
of ailments that can be cured simply by having s*x regularly. Here are
twelve reasons why you and your partner should be having s*x daily!
1. S*x Reduces Stress.
If you’ve had a long day at work or you’re simply feeling a little
overwhelmed, then s*x will help you relax and reduce your stress levels!
During sex our bodies produce dopamine, endorphins and oxytocin which
together help us to de-stress, increases our natural happiness levels
and enhances desire.
2. S*x Is An Enjoyable Exercise.
When faced with the word ‘workout’ many of us will recoil in
horror, unless of course that workout involves sex. Throughout s*x our
bodies are continually experiencing physiological changes that are
consistent with an exercise routine. Our breathing rates rise which in
turn burns calories, which means that if you have sex just three times a
week you can burn around 7,500 calories a year. That’s the same as
running 75 miles!
‘Sex is a really great form of exercise,’ says Joseph J. Pinzone, MD. CEO and medical director of Amai Wellness. ‘Like with exercise, consistency helps maximize the benefits.’
3. S*x Helps Your Immune System.
Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that their
students who stated they had s*x at least twice a week had higher levels
of particular antibodies than those who had no sex at all. During sex,
antigens like immunoglobulin A are released which are proven to fight
the common cold and even flu! Even more good news: the more frequently
you engage in sex the more antigens will be released and the healthier
you’ll get.
4. S*x Lowers Your Blood Pressure.
Even if it’s just a quickie, some forms of physical contact can
improve your blood pressure significantly. A study conducted by the
University of Paisley found that sex reduces diastolic blood pressure –
which is the bottom number on a blood pressure reading – making us
healthier all around!
5. S*x Helps a Healthy Heart.
As our bodies burn calories, it also improves our heart health.
Researchers from the New England Research Institute found that men are
45% less likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases if they have
regular s*x.
6. S*x Helps Pain Relief.
If you’re experiencing aches, pains or migraines then s*x may be a
better form of pain relief than pills! Arthritis specialist Dr. George
Erlich conducted a study on his patients and found that those who had
s*x often experienced significantly less pain than their counterparts
who went without.
7. S*x Ensures Regular Periods.
If your periods are a bit erratic, it could be down to a stressful
lifestyle. As mentioned previously, s*x reduces stress and so will also
have an impact on your menstrual cycle!
8. S*x Creates Powerful Pelvic Muscles.
As well as quads, back and core muscles, s*x also works out your
pelvic muscles! Is there a better way of building muscle? I don’t think
so! By creating stronger pelvic muscles you also benefit by having
better orgasms according to the National Health Service (NHS).
‘For women, as well as helping improve symptoms of urinary
incontinence, strong pelvic floor muscles can also mean increased
sensitivity during sex and stronger orgasms,’ the NHS states. ‘Pelvic
floor exercises can also benefit men with problems such as erectile
dysfunction (difficulty getting or keeping an erection) and urinary
incontinence’.
9. S*x Reduces The Risk Of Cancer.
Particularly for men, regular s*x reduces the chances of developing
cancer. In an Australian study published the Journal of the American
Medical Association, it was found that men who ejaculated at least 21
times a month were much less likely to suffer form prostate cancer.
10. S*x Makes You Sleep Well.
Like exercise, s*x increases your heart rate which leads to
relaxation. In addition to this, it’s common knowledge that male
ejaculation leads to lethargy which can make men extremely sleepy after
s*x.
‘After orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released,’ says Sheenie
Ambardar, MD. a psychiatrist in West Hollywood, California, ‘which is
responsible for the feelings of relaxation and sleepiness after s*x.’
11. S*x Makes You Look 10 Years Younger.
Having s*x three times a week can apparently make you appear 10
years younger than your real age! In his book Secrets of the Superyoung,
Scottish researcher and clinical neuropsychologist at the Royal
Edinburgh Hospital, David Weeks states: “It’s good for you to have good
sex.” What more incentive do you need?
12. S*x Lengthens Your Life.
The ultimate culmination of all of these wonderful, positive
effects regular s*x has on our health and minds is that we will add
years to our life spans. In fact, a study published in the British
Medical Journal revealed that male participants who had s*x regularly
lived twice as long as those who rarely got any action!
So there you have it: there are officially no downsides to having sex regularly, so get at it!
