Below are nine additional health benefits of
regular sex:
1. It boosts immunity : “Research suggests that
those who have had sex recently have higher
levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that
can help ward off common cold and flu
symptoms,” says Astroglide’s Resident
Sexologist, Dr. Jess.
2. You’ll live longer: Improved longevity,
balanced hormones and lower stress levels.
“These benefits are associated with the good
night’s sleep that often follows a romp in the
hay owing to the increase in oxytocin levels!”
says Dr. Jess.
3. Healthier heart: Couples who are in a happy
relationship have a decreased risk of
cardiovascular disease, higher survival rates
after serious surgeries and greater longevity
owing to healthier eating habits, stronger social
networks and an increased likelihood of seeking
medical care, says Dr. Jess.
4. Pain relief: Sex can be used as a pain
reliever especially during orgasm when levels
of oxytocin get exponentially elevated, says John
W. Beiter, Ph.D., CST, Licensed Psychologist and
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. So, stop using
those headaches as an excuse not to play!
5. Anti-aging : “Studies have shown that
couples having more sex can look seven years
younger!” says love and sex coach Kim Anami.
6. Exercise : According to psychologist and sex
therapist Dr. Estella Sneider, by having sex at
least three times per week it helps burn calories
and we get the benefit of using more than 500
muscles!
7. It’s great for your career : “Dr. Helen
Fisher, an anthropologist and biologist, states
that people who have sex regularly are more
successful at work,” says Sneider. According to
her, sex helps trusting oneself and increases
self–esteem.
8. Beauty treatment: Regular sex increases
estrogen production, which makes your hair
shiny and your skin smooth. “The pheromones
you release act as a natural perfume, so more
people are attracted to you!” adds Anami.
9. Stress relief: The oxytocin released at
orgasm wipes out cortisol, which is the major
stress hormone, says Anami.
