Our sexual bliss may go beyond the bedtime, but did you know that it extends beyond the bedroom? Scientific studies have found that sex can bring more than just pleasure; it can also have a variety of health benefits, from helping to reduce stress to lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, enhancing the relationship and bond between spouses, reducing anxiety and improving general health. Plus, exercise in bed can help strengthen the immune system and promote sleep. Here’s a quick rundown, listen to me slowly! 1, reduce colds, enhance immunity: more sex equals fewer sick days! This is what studies have found by comparing sexually active and inactive people. Sex improves immunity by generating protective antibodies against common diseases and inhibiting the attack of germs, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms. 2, improve libido: Believe it or not, the best antidote to decreased libido is sex! By the way, sex itself can stimulate libido. Some women have painful intercourse or vaginal dryness, sex itself can be an effective solution. Sex enhances vaginal blood flow, makes it lubricated and improves tissue elasticity, and all of this is to promote more enjoyable sexual activity and sexual desire. 3, improve female urinary control function: urinary incontinence affects a significant number of women at some point in their lives, and regular orgasms act on women’s pelvic floor muscles to give them tone. The pelvic floor muscles that are excited here and the so-called Kegel pelvic floor training target the same set of muscles. Strong pelvic floor muscles can effectively reduce the chance of urine leakage. 4, lower blood pressure: If you have high blood pressure, sexual activity can lower it. There are many studies have found a link between blood pressure and sexual intercourse (rather than masturbation), lowering systolic blood pressure, which is the first value when measuring blood pressure. Of course, sex can’t replace blood pressure-lowering drugs, but it can be a useful addition. 5, regarded as exercise, burning calories: like any other physical exercise, sex burns calories! Sitting and watching TV burns about 1 calorie per minute. During sex, the heart rate increases and multiple muscle groups are mobilized at the same time, burning 5 calories per minute. Can provide additional supplement for regular exercise. 6, reduce heart accidents: sex helps maintain hormone levels, such as estrogen and testosterone. If these hormones are out of balance, diseases such as heart disease and osteoporosis will come to you. For protecting the heart, the more often you have sex, the more beneficial it is. A study shows that people who have sex at least twice a week have only half the chance of heart disease of those who have less sexual activity. 7, pain relief: sexual stimulation (including masturbation) and orgasmic pain relief, both of which can make pain reduction and improve the pain threshold. Orgasm leads to the release of hormones to block pain transmission, some women’s masturbation behavior reduces menstrual cramps, arthritis pain and headaches. 8, reduce the risk of prostate cancer: men also have benefits! A study showed that frequent ejaculation (greater than 21 times / month) the chance of prostate cancer than ejaculation less often than those who are lower, and ejaculation itself is not necessarily sexual intercourse, masturbation, nocturnal emission, etc. can be counted. Although unexplained, is an interesting discovery. 9, improve sleep: sex makes you sleep better! Orgasm stimulates the release of lactogen, which itself is a natural sleep promoter, prompting relaxation and sleepiness. This is the reason why it is easy to get a good night’s sleep after sex. 10, decompression: sex is a stress reliever, touch, embrace, sexual intimacy and sexual intercourse to stimulate the body to release benign substances, promote bonding and calm. Sexual arousal also activates the reward and euphoria system in the human brain, and intimacy also eliminates anxiety. 11. Strengthening the self: People are a strange breed, and connections with family and friends can promote overall health and self-worth. In contrast, close relationships with other people, including your spouse, will make you happier and healthier. This is confirmed by multiple studies. 12, enhance intimacy: hugs and snuggles convey warmth and sweet relationship, sex and orgasm stimulation to strengthen people’s sense of contact with the release of posterior lobe oxytocin, which has been known as the “love hormone” substances to help build love and trust. The longer a woman and her spouse caresses and embraces, the higher the level of her love hormone, but also includes a generous component of tolerance. 13, make you young: sex makes you look younger, without cosmetic surgery or anti-wrinkle products. The sex hormones maintained by regular sex will maintain a young and vibrant appearance. A study through a single mirror is subjects guessed the age of the opposite person, more than 4 times a week sex life than the actual age of the person appears 7-12 years younger. 14, live longer: live a long time one of the secrets may be more sex, a study of middle-aged men over 10 years, with the most times orgasm than those who ejaculate infrequently mortality rate is lower than half. Of course there are many other factors that contribute to longevity, but an active sex life may be a simple and happy way to extend your life. 15. Maintaining the Brain: The benefits of sex go from head to toe, and it also makes for a healthy mind. Researchers have found that sex makes the brain shift into an analytical and thinking mode, and animal experiments have also shown that sexual activity enhances the activity of memory areas in the brain. 16, promote fertility: when the need to expand the size of the family, the accumulated practice and experience comes in handy. Research from the Fertility Center found that men who ejaculate more times a day have higher-quality semen and a lower percentage of broken and fragmented DNA in their semen, indicating healthier DNA. Healthier sperm (with intact DNA) naturally have a higher chance of conception. China is a relatively introverted society, with a conservative attitude towards sexuality and sexual health, and even the misconception of holding back on ejaculation in order to ensure “essence”. Now that society is opening up, many studies and knowledge have proved that a good sex life is an integral part of overall health, and that an active sex life is greatly beneficial to our health.
