Benefits of Sex
Benefits of Sex/Lovemaking? Isn't it a strange and unusual topic? But it is true. Whereas some people simply enjoy a healthy sex life purely because sex is pleasurable, there has been researches that proved that beside being pleasurable, sex can be quite beneficial to your health. It has been proved that running 75 miles per year or having sex 3 times a week for the whole year would burn same amount of calories, that is 7,500 calories. Sexual activity is beneficial both physically and psychologically and may help you live a longer and healthier life. Interesting!!!
You can tell from the skin whether a person is sexually active or not. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when woman make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which make hair shiny and skin smooth. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.
All those times that you were told, "Not tonight honey, I have a headache," all you had to do was inform your woman that sex can be a pain reliever. In women, the sexual act triggers the release of Oxytocin. The hormone Oxytocin (a nine amino acid peptide that is synthesized in hypothalamic neurons and transported down axons of the posterior pituitary for secretion into blood) secretes within your body whenever you engage in sexual activity. Because of this secretion, endorphins (hormone-like chemicals that bear a close functional resemblance to morphine) are released. Whenever one is aroused or excited, Oxytocin levels not only begin to increase, they are the reason that orgasms come about. Studies have shown that a rise in Oxytocin levels can relieve pain; everything from headaches, cramps and overall body aches can be diminished with a simple roll in the hay.
In men, sex encourages the flow of testosterone, which strengthens bones and muscles and helps transport DHEA, a hormone that may be important in the function of the body's immune system.
In a recent survey, people who have more sex reported that they felt more at ease, happier and have learned how to handle stress better. So perhaps the term "sexual frustration" is not too far from the truth. After an orgasm, an intense wave of calm and relaxation overcomes humans (that's why men usually fall asleep) and it's a time when people can truly liberate themselves and let go. Plenty of people who enjoy a regular dose of sex convey that they sleep much better during the night and feel alive and refreshed throughout the day.
When we get aroused, our blood starts to pump at a much quicker pace and thus blood flow increases to our brain. Both an increased heart rate and more blood pumping through the brain result in better performance. What this ultimately means is that the fresh supply of blood that is constantly pumping through your body supplies it with a healthy dose of oxygen while getting rid of the old and wasteful products in your body. So it cleanses your system more often with the help of a little excitement.
The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!
