10 Unbelievable Health Benefits Of Sex Only a Few Are Aware Of

The perk of sex goes wildly beyond physical pleasures as some people may have realized by now. The urge to indulge in intercourse is often so overwhelming that much attention is paid to physical satisfaction rather than other possibilities. There are numerous health benefits of sex for females and males alike.

People often ask, is daily sex good for health? How much sex is healthy? For very virile couples, sex can take on a whole new meaning and function, leveraging on the various chemical reactions that occur in the body which can offer many therapeutic effects.

Studies show that the average adult may indulge in sex approximately 54 times yearly, with an average of once a week. There is no right amount or an excessive amount; this is completely dependent on the consent and capacity of one’s partner. Here are 10 unbelievable health benefits of sex.

Benefits Of Sex

  1. Boosts the immune system

Experts have confirmed that sexually active people are less likely to fall sick. The mechanism is uncertain as it is believed that those who indulge in sexual activities often have higher amounts of active antibodies to ward off infections and germs.

  1. Stronger bladder for women

The female reproductive anatomy is very delicate and can adjust to accommodate as well as contract. Having regular sex is a great form of workout for the female pelvic muscles. During orgasm, the muscular contractions strengthen the bladder which is necessary to avoid an overactive bladder which is often a health issue experienced by at least 30% of females.

  1. It is a great work out

A lot of people complain of the inability to commit to a workout lifestyle due to the hassles and stress of actually dragging themselves to the gym to lose some calories. Well, sex can easily do that for you. Does sex help with weight loss? Yes, it does. A study showed that an average person may lose up to 85 calories or more during sex with an average of 3.6 calories per minute.

  1. Helps with sleep disorders

Many people experience a lack of sleep (insomnia) for various reasons. In some cases, they require sleep inducers such as drugs and alcohol in order to get some shut-eye and this takes a toll on physical and mental health over time. During sex, certain hormones are released which act as depressants, completely shutting down brain activities and causing the body to go into a relaxed state. One is more likely to get more sleep after sex than without it.

  1. It regulates blood pressure

Does sex lower blood pressure? Yes, it does. According to reports, sexual activities have been found to regulate the flow of blood leading to healthier blood pressure especially in hypertensive people, also reducing the risk of a heart attack.

  1. Cures headaches and pains

Less aspirin, more orgasm! Experts say that pain receptors are likely blocked by hormones (endorphins) released during sex. The threshold for pain also increases significantlyFor women, sex, as well as self-stimulation, can help with menstrual cramps, headaches, arthritic pains, leg pains, and other forms of pain.

  1. NO to prostate cancer!

As men age, diseases of the prostate become a possibility. One common disease is prostate cancer. A report published in the American Medical Association journal showed that sexual intercourse, as well as masturbation, greatly reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

  1. Boosts memory retention in women

This report is based on a test conducted in 2017 where a set of female volunteers were tested on their memory retention capabilities. It was found that those who had indulged in more frequent sexual activities did incredibly better than those with lesser experience. Tasks that required memorizing and recalling were less tedious for women who had had more sex.

  1. Sex mitigates Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a medical condition that often occurs during pregnancy which causes swollen arms and legs, nausea, seizures, headaches, and other serious complication. Having adequate sex with exposure to semen can help to decrease the possibility of experiencing these complications. How does this happen? HLG-A is a protein which is found in semen. This protein has the ability to regulate the immune system in women. This is why some medical practitioners discourage the use of barriers such as female diaphragms for couples during sex, as this can help boost the female’s immune system in preparation for pregnancy.

  1. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle

The “visitor” can become more predictable when one indulges in sex at least once or twice a week.  In many cases, the pain and cramps are often lighter and more forgiving with those who get it on more often than those who do not. Not to mention that it reduces stress, depression, anxiety, irritability, and other emotions that come with periods.

What happens during sex?

Sex helps to mitigate the build-up of homocysteine, a chemical that is linked to an unhealthy blood clot. However, this only occurs in men.

Sex increases the production of a hormone called “oxytocin” which is responsible for pleasure.

Endorphins are natural body hormones that function as pain killers in the body. Sex activates the releases of endorphins.

It is true that when women have sex, high levels of estrogen is released into the blood, this causes the body to change in many ways. The skin becomes smoother, diseases such as osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and others are kept at bay.  Sex expedites the production of collagen which gives more elasticity and glow to the skin.

There are many more benefits of sex and some are yet to be uncovered. Isn’t it amazing how one can stay healthy under the sheets!
