For many people, it can be a challenge to book quality time for sex every day. Whether it’s because their libidos don’t match, or life’s requirement has made them too tired for anything sensual other than a goodnight kiss, a lot of couples fall into the trap of frequently putting off sex for another night, and then another night, (and then another night)…. and so on.
It’s a real shame when you think about it because the benefits of sex are endless! Yeah, it feels good, but more importantly, it is optimum for your health and overall quality of life.
Here are just 10 ( of many) reasons to have sex every day (or at least try). With any luck, these reasons might just be the passkey to getting you and your partner more eager for romance!
1. Higher resilience
People who have sex 1-2 times a week have three times as much Immunoglobulin (a significant player in the natural antibody game) coursing through their bodies.
2. Stress Reducer
Endorphins and oxytocin get released during sex, two potent chemicals that can help ward off anxiety and depression!
3. Mood Booster
Again, a surge of endorphins and oxytocin profoundly elevates your mood.
4. Natural Pain Reliever
Endorphins released during orgasm resemble morphine and have the same feel-good effects by stimulating morphine receptors in the brain and effectively relieving pain.
5. Deep Sleep
During sex, the brain releases norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, and vasopressin, which can trigger the urge to cuddle or pass out. Those endorphins that make you feel great and relieve pain can also relax your mind and body and get you primed for sleep.
6. Higher Energy Levels
A shot of glucose into your system after an orgasm sharpens your brain performance, and your body can use it as energy.
7. Youthful Skin
Increased blood circulation and a rush of oxygen in the blood means a glowing complexion. An orgasm triggers a rush of endorphins and growth hormones like DHEA (a hormone produced by your body’s adrenal glands) that can even help heal damage caused by the thinning of the skin.
8. Healthy Heart
Studies show that your risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke goes DOWN as the frequency of orgasms goes UP. And just like other cardio, exercise between the sheets has the benefits of strengthening muscles and reducing your risk of heart disease.
9. Libido Booster
Having more sex makes you crave it more! Lauren Streicher, MD, an assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago says: “For women, having sex ups vaginal lubrication, blood flow, and elasticity, all of which make sex feel better and help you crave more of it.”
10. Confidence booster
Partners often have increased relationship satisfaction and confidence when they fulfill one another’s sexual desires. Positive growth in your relationship develops as a result of being able to express yourself and your sexual desires.
Life gets busy, we know. However, we guarantee that you will reap the benefits of sex if you make it a priority in your life. Not is only is sex good for your relationship but its so good for your health.
It’s good for you muscles, it’s an excellent antidepressant, and it can renew your energy (amongst many other things) – all of which goes far deeper than just a quick routine to complete when you’ve got a few spare minutes. It’s actually an investment in your relationship and your HEALTH.
