Sex is good for you
SEX IS GOOD FOR YOU!
Did you know that there are in fact lots of reasons to keep yourself between the sheets apart from the obvious. Curious to know more? Well, read on and be amazed!
Stronger Immunity
Firstly you’re not going to get sick, but stay fit and healthy! Pennsylvania psychologists have found that people who have sex once or twice a week have elevated levels of an immune protein found in saliva, compared to those who abstain from sex completely – fools! The protein, immunoglobulin A is the first line of defence against colds and flu. Its level in the body is an indicator of how strong our immune system is, so if you want to stay healthy just keep doing it!
Sexier Physique!
You’re also getting a vigorous but thrilling workout! If you’re the kind of person who finds strenuous exercise at the gym a daunting and unappealing option, yes there are lots of us out there, well just get back in that bedroom. You may not know it but you’re actually working your body very hard. Here’s an insight into how something wicked can be oh so very good for working those muscles.
As we become aroused our excitement triggers the hormone adrenaline, which plays a major role in the bodies reproductive and sexual functions. This is released from the endocrine glands into our system, relaxing the muscles in the lungs, and stimulating the heartbeat and then during sex, as our arousal heightens, our breathing deepens, nourishing and oxygenating our system on inhalation and purifying our system on exhalation. As our pulse rate speeds up our blood pressure increases therefore increasing our circulation and blood flow allowing our freshly oxygenated blood to reach our vital organs. Our muscles tense and flex in anticipation, our wombs start to contract and the sensitivity of our skin increases and we experience the feeling of exhilaration as we build towards that ultimate big O!
And just 26 minutes can burn off half a pizza, doesn’t it seem very worthwhile! If you’re feeling particularly energetic then an hour of vigorous pleasure can burn off an incredible whopping 250 calories! So never mind the workout in the gym or an hours brisk walk down the park, if you want to be body beautiful, just one piece of advice…get your kit off.
Just watch out for those edible knickers in foreplay!
Sex makes you happy
Just touching or being touched is very beneficial to the endorphins. Chemicals produced in the brain which enhance our pleasure are released, possibly taking you to an altered state of consciousness. After climax our muscle tension relaxes and our pulse rate, breathing, and blood pressure slow down leaving a feeling of wellbeing and closeness to our partner. At this point we experience a feeling of calmness and a sense of euphoria and vitality. Then suddenly all the problems of the day have just melted away. Plus more interestingly perhaps to know, researchers at the State University of New York at Albany have found that women who regularly come into contact with semen were significantly less depressed than those who didn’t get a dose of those potent sex hormones and naturally occurring opiates, fascinating stuff!
Sex reduces stress
The release at climax will get even the most anxious lover totally relaxed! The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality has found that people with fulfilling sex lives are in fact less anxious, violent and hostile, therefore the perfect tranquilizer for those stuck to their desks at work waiting for that big promotion! And the old headache excuse is no longer an excuse not to have sex but an excuse to have sex, did you know all you lovers out there, that lovemaking actually relieves headaches, sex can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.
You’ll look younger and live longer
And there’s more good news, forget cosmetics to cure that aging process indulge in more sex! Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce large amounts of the hormone oestrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth. Gentle relaxed love making can even reduce your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow. And more interestingly, neuropsychologist David Weeks, found that men and women who reported having sex an average of four times per week looked approximately 10 years younger than they really were. Also, a British study of 1,000 men found that those who had at least two orgasms per week had half the death rate of those who indulged less than once a month. So get active!
You’re going to get more
And the ultimate reason to have sex is, the more you have the more you’re going to get. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle but very effective sex perfumes drive the opposite sex wild! So when you get active the world is just a much happier place, you feel great, you look great and your partner just can’t get enough of you, so that leaves me with nothing else to say but get your kit off!
