3 Health Benefits of Sex

Who says pleasure can’t be good for you? Even though most of life’s more, shall we say, hedonistic pursuits tend to have a bad rap, there is one that remains beneficial to body and mind: sex.

Science and the fun side of your brain both agree on this. And so does Big Ass Anal Porn. But you might wonder, what exactly are the benefits of sex?

We have a guide to help you get, ahem, started. Read on for 3 health benefits of sex.

  • Boosts Your Immune System 

Scientific studies show that people who have sex regularly have a higher concentration of the antibody, IgA, in their salvia. This study was done a while ago, so feel free to test the results yourself. Sex also contributes to better physical health and less emotional stress, both of which make your healthier and keep chances of illness lower.

When you get stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline into your bloodstream. These act like a combined accelerator, raising your heart rate and blood pressure while increasing alertness. It is a form of arousal, but not the kind you want!

Prolonged stress has been shown to hinder your immune system. Spend too long in fight-or-flight mode, and you may find you get sick more often. Sex offers an antidote!

  • Helps You Lose Weight and Get in Shape

Sex is fantastic exercise! You may be distracted at the time, but all that activity burns calories, and the movement of your muscles helps you tone up.

This works both ways too. The better your fitness level, the higher your libido in most cases. Physical exercise releases endorphins, like sex does, and it also releases hormones to help you repair muscle tissue and get stronger. 

You may well find that you are in the mood after a gym session. You know you deserve some fun, and all that effort builds your confidence and lowers your stress. However, if you work too hard it the gym, you may have little energy left when you get home. 

Like the more exotic positions, it’s all about balance!

  • Improves Your Mental Health

We already mentioned about endorphins. They give you that buzz you feel after sex or exercise. But there is far more going on it your brain when you get intimate.

Oxytocin, the cuddle hormone, makes you feel warm, safe and loved. You can get it by hugging, as the moniker suggests, but sex is one the most powerful sources of it. 

Along with serotonin, dopamine and endorphins, oxytocin is one of our feel-good neurotransmitters. Together with the feeling of trust and emotional closeness, this is one of the reasons sex can banish depression and anxiety in the right situation.

What do we mean by the right situation? Let’s get serious for a moment. 

All these benefits depend largely on safe sex in a loving relationship. Sure, you can get your kicks in other ways, but to get the most out of your sex, building a trusting, caring relationship with the right partner is key to all of it.
