Health Benefits of Regular Sex(1/4)
When it comes to sex, most of us already feel that regular intimacy brings benefits. However, you may be surprised at the range of uses of healthy sex, from reducing stress to lowering your risk of cancer or heart problems. According to recent studies, regular sex can provide many boosts to your wellbeing. This is because sex is just like any other physical activity, and the benefits it offers can eventually increase your life span. Here's a breakdown of the top benefits of regular sexual intercourse.
Helps Keep Your Immune System Humming
"Sexually active people take fewer sick days," says Yvonne K. Fulbright, PhD sexual health expert.
People who have sex have higher levels of defending their bodies against germs, viruses, and other intruders. Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that college students who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of a specific antibody than students who had sex less often.
Boosts Your Libido
Longing for a more lively sex life? "Having sex will make sex better and will improve your libido," says Lauren Streicher, MD. She is an assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Business Medicine in Chicago.
For women, having sex ups vaginal lubrication, blood flow, and elasticity, she says, all of which make sex feel better and help you crave more of it.
Improves Women's Bladder Control
A strong pelvic floor is essential for avoiding incontinence, something that will affect about 30% of women at some point in their lives.
Good sex is like a workout for your pelvic floor muscles. When you have an orgasm, it causes contractions in those muscles, strengthening them.
