Why is it good to have frequent sex?

When you think of sex, such questions probably do not fill your head because you love having sex and you truly do not need to seek the reasons for it. However, a plus or two cause no harm. It is scientifically proven that active sex life has a beneficial effect both on your health and soul. Let us look at 10 perfect reasons to hop into bed.

10 reasons for having frequent sex

1. Frequent sex is like physical exercise

Everyone is probably familiar with the pleasant fatigue after sexual activity after which you can sleep as a baby. Dr. Michael Cirigliano of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine says that making love three times a week burns about 7,500 calories in a year, which is the equivalent of jogging 75 miles.

2. Heavy breathing

An increase in the amount of oxygen in cells caused by heavy breathing during sexual activity helps keep vital organs and tissues functioning at their peak.

3. Frequent sex keeps your bones and muscles strong

Dr. Karen Donahey, director of the Sex and Marital Therapy Program at Chicago's Northwestern University Medical Centre, says an increase in levels of testosterone is one of the results of active physical activity in sexual intercourse. An increase in amounts of the male sex hormone thus helps keep bones and muscles strong.

4. Frequent sex lowers your cholesterol

Lowering levels of cholesterol is one of the effects of active sex life as well.

5. Pain can be relieved with frequent sex

Lovemaking helps to relieve pain, says Dr. Beverly Whipple, president-elect of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counsellors and Therapists, as well as alleviate headache pain and the pain caused by arthritis. This is done by the hormones released during sexual arousal and orgasm.

6. DHEA – without supplements

During sexual activity and just before reaching orgasm and ejaculation, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a supplemental hormone, is released to levels three times higher than usual, without supplemental artificial agents, which contributes to a considerable improvement in your mood. This is also the reason why it is so famous.

7. Frequent sex protects your prostate

Studies show that making love is great for protecting the prostate as regular ejaculation helps wash out the build-up fluid within the gland.

8. Stress relief

Making love is an effective way of reducing stress levels because it has a positive effect on your mood and it helps keep your distance to external problems.

9. Love will keep us together

Regular sexual relations are the main element of a relationship as affectionate touch increases levels of Oxytocin, the “bonding hormone” between the partners, which encourages a desire for frequent lovemaking.

10. Hormones - naturally

Lovemaking increases amounts of estrogen, the female hormone, which protects the heart and helps keep the stamina of your partner.

When you think of having intercourse with your partner today, tomorrow or perhaps you are thinking of it right now, do not let it be for the purpose of mere satisfaction. You should make love with all your senses because in this way you will contribute the lion’s share to your health and relationship.
