1. De-stress
Sex helps you reduce stress. When
deep breathing exercises fail to de-stress you, sex will do the needful.
During sex your body produces
dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka “happiness
hormones” and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary
gland. In a study, published in the Public Library of Science journal, three
neuroscience researchers conducted a test on male rats and found that the
sexually active rats were less anxious than rats with no sexual activity.
2. Great Form of Exercise
Making love is a form of physical
activity. During intercourse, the physiological changes in your body are
consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the respiratory rate
rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex
three times a week for 15 minutes (but we know you can do better than that)
you’ll burn about 7.500 calories in a year. That’s the equivalent of jogging 75
miles! Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the
testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.
3. Lowers high blood pressure
Hugs and sex can improve your blood
pressure. Sex reduces diastolic blood pressure, that is, the bottom number
while reading blood pressure.
Researchers with the University of
Paisley conducted an experiment on the same. They concluded that sex improves
blood pressure.
4. Builds your immunity
Trying to fight the sniffles? Sex is
the answer to fight cold and other health problems; sex can boost your
immunity.
Immunoglobulin A, an antigen that
fights the flu increases when the frequency of sex increases.
5. Makes You Look Younger
Making love three times a week can
make you look 10 years younger, claims a Scottish researcher. “It’s good for
you to have good sex,” says David Weeks, a clinical neuropsychologist at the
Royal Edinburgh Hospital, whose study on the effects of sex on aging appears in
his book, Secrets of the Super young.
6. Healthy heart
Sex helps you burn calories but it
can also improve your heart. Sex will take care of stroke and heart attacks;
you just have to enjoy the moment.
Scientists with New England Research
Institute examined the effect of sex on the heart. The study concluded that men
are 45 percent less likely to experience cardiovascular diseases. But the study
fails to study the effect of sex on a woman’s heart.
7. Pain relief
Pleasure is the measure to beat out
the pain. Do you experience migraines and body pain? Well sex is the answer.
But if you experience back pain, it is best to consult a doctor.
Dr. George E. Erlich, an arthritis
specialist from Philadelphia conducted a study on the link between arthritis
and sex. He narrows down that patients who engaged in sex experienced less
pain.
8. Builds trust and intimacy
The act of sex spikes the hormone
oxytocin; this hormone is responsible for your happiness and love. If your feel
your relationship is falling out, there is trust or you’re worried that your
partner will stay away, then sex will dispel these doubts. The hormone oxytocin
builds trust and brings couples closer and cupid too.
9. Less chances of cancer
Regular ejaculation reduces your chances of developing prostate cancer. In an Australian study men who ejaculated 21 times a month were least likely to develop cancer. It is further supported by other researches that sexual intercourse reduces the risk of prostrate cancer.

10. Stronger pelvic muscles
Sex involves the use of several
muscles; hence regular sexual intercourse can help you develop stronger pelvic
muscles. Further, since the act of sex involves a range of muscles, it also
helps strengthen these muscles – for ex: quads, your core, and the upper back.
Through regular sex, you can also maintain a strong bladder and bowel function.
Strong muscles, calorie burner,
improves heart health – sex seems to take care of you.
11. Prostate Protection
Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted
by the prostate gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland,
which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular ejaculation will wash
those fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age.
Problems may also occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.
12. Induces sleep
After that great, lovely workout you
are bound to get good sleep. But guess what? Sex works the same way as
exercise. The increased heart rate leads to increased post-coital relaxation.
Sex could be the next thing for insomniacs! So what really happens:
- Sex can relax you, hence if you are already tired, the act of sex will induce sleep.
- When men ejaculate they become lethargic, this can make them sleepy.

13. Regular periods
Apparently sex can improve your
menstrual cycle. Sex regulates hormones, which in turn regulate the menstrual
cycle. Sex reduces stress, which is one of the reasons women miss their
periods. Sex seems like a better option than pills.
14. Prevents Erectile Dysfunctions
Fifty per cent of men older than 40
suffer from erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they
won’t be able to get it up any more. The best medicine against impotence
is…sex. An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile arteries, so
the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic
reflex: the more you train the more capable you are to perform.
15. Live longer
A healthy heart, stronger muscles,
increased circulation of oxygen and happiness are some of the factors that add
life to the years and as a result – years to your life.
A study published in the British
Medical Journal reveals that men who engaged in sex often live twice as those
who rarely had any action.
16. Healthier semen
If you’re trying to conceive, you
increase the volume of semen if you have sex regularly. Regular sex replaces
old sperms from the testicles. If there is a natural build of sperms it can
lead to DNA damage.
