Orgasm is the ‘climax’ of sex that everyone wants to experience. If you can’t reach an orgasm, you’re probably desperate and wonder what’s wrong with you and how you can fix it. After the climax, you usually feel happy and revived, as if you were reborn. Did you know that orgasms also have a beneficial effect on your health and general well-being? Below you can read why they’re so good for your health.

Reducing tension

The feelings you have immediately after an orgasm could be described as a blissful feeling of being at ease. There are rare moments when you can just relax and don’t have to think of everyday things you usually lose sleep over. So, if you need to relax, you know what to do!

Treating insomnia

After a man reaches an orgasm, his blood pressure drops rapidly, which makes him feel at ease and slightly drowsy. In women, the drop in blood pressure occurs gradually, but it has the same consequences. So, don’t take sleeping pills if you suffer from insomnia, rather have sexual intercourse and see if it has any effect on you.

Treating depression

Who’d be pleased with only one orgasm a day? Sexual intercourse and orgasm help produce different hormones that improve our mood. The only obstacle of this “self-treatment” is that depression can considerably decrease your sex drive. So you have no desire for sex and can’t improve your mood. It’s like a vicious cycle.

Instead of exercise?

Are you tired of sweating in fitness studios and gasping for air on a treadmill just to keep your body fit? We may have a solution for you. Your muscles also contract during sexual intercourse and orgasm, which improves your muscle tone and makes your body fit. The only problem could be the extent of such an “exercise” to achieve the same or similar result as in the gym.

Losing weight

For comparison: you burn 150 calories in half an hour of sex, 114 calories in half an hour of yoga, 129 calories while dancing, 153 calories while lifting weights and 174 calories while playing volleyball. You don’t have to be a mathematical genius to figure out that sexual activity is good for your health, and it helps you lose weight too. This, of course, doesn’t mean that you can have as many high-calorie treats as you want. If you really want to lose weight, you also have to find the energy to have sex and burn all those calories.

Increasing blood pressure

Your blood cells need fresh oxygen and hormones supplied by your blood. Heavy breathing and muscle contractions during sexual intercourse and orgasm increase the supply, so it’s no wonder that sex increases the flow of blood through your body.

Alleviating pain

Orgasm also increases the level of oxytocin. This hormone alleviates different kinds of pain, from a headache to severe pain due to arthritis. It’s certainly one of the recipes you have to try out.

Prolonging life

Interesting findings of a study conducted in Britain, which included 1000 people, show that sexual intercourse and orgasm prolong life. In couples who had sex at least twice a week, the mortality rate was twice as low as in couples who had sex less often. Although sex isn’t the key to immortality, it’s much more amusing and, above all, pleasurable than any other method used to achieve immortality.

If you don’t believe that the above-described tips are good for your health, why don’t you try whether orgasms really have such a beneficial effect on your life and help solve everyday problems? You may be pleasantly surprised and include sex among your self-treatment methods.
