We all know that sex feels incredibly good, but did you know that it is also incredibly healthy? There are a number of health benefits to having sex, here are just a few of them!
Do you need to have sex?
As much as many of us would like to have sex all the time, it just isn’t possible. Thankfully, many of these benefits can be obtained if you go ‘solo’ as well. You may need a bit of assistance, but thankfully there are many sites for women which are going to have more than enough adult entertainment to keep you excited.
Boost Your Immune System
Study after study has shown that sexually active people tend to have fewer days off of work. It doesn’t really take a lot either. Having sex just once or twice per week will seriously benefit your immune system. This is because sex, or the process of reaching orgasm, helps to release certain antibodies into your system which can provide your immune system with a nice ‘kick in the teeth’.
Boost your libido
The more you have sex, the better sex is going to end up feeling. Once again, studies have shown that regular sex helps to boost your libido. For starters; this is going to make you want to have sex a whole lot more, but it is also going to help when it comes to vaginal lubrication and helping to ensure sex feels ‘better’ on the whole.
Increased bladder control
It is no secret that one of the main health issues that women face when they get older is incontinence. In fact, a good portion of women are going to suffer from it at some point in their life.
A lot of guides for dealing with incontinence will tell you that you need to give your pelvic area a good workout. What better way to work out your pelvic area than actually having sex? We can’t think of anything better than that! You will need to orgasm, because the process of reaching orgasm helps to tighten up the muscles in your pelvic floor area which, in turn, strengthens them.
Lower Blood Pressure
If you have high blood pressure, then regular sex may be good for you. In fact, it is important that you try to keep your blood pressure as low as possible, even if you have not actually been diagnosed with the condition. Remember; high blood pressure can lead to early death through heart conditions.
Interestingly, studies indicate that you don’t really see lower blood pressure if you are masturbating. If this is one of the sex benefits that you want to enjoy, then you are going to need to find a partner to do it with.
Burn Off Calories
Not many people like to talk about this, but regular sex will count as cardiovascular exercise. Your heart rate will be boosted during intercourse and, of course, will give various muscles quite a workout. You could burn a few hundred calories during a sex session, particularly if you throw some foreplay in there too.
Reduce The Risk of Heart Disease
As a woman, you should have both estrogen and testosterone in your body. Both are hormones which are incredibly important for a variety of different reasons. If either one of them starts to fall too low, then you are going to have issues. If this happens long term, then you are more likely to suffer from heart disease. There is some evidence that having sex at least twice a week will cut your risk of dying early from heart disease in half.
