Benefits of Complete Sexual Intercourse
It's
fun to have sex, but did you know that is also offers many health benefits? Sex
does a body good in a number of ways, and the health benefits aren't just
anecdotal or hearsay -- each of these 10 health benefits of sex is backed by
scientific scrutiny.
Sex Relieves Stress
¬ A big health benefit of sex is lower blood pressure and overall
stress reduction, according to researchers from Scotland who reported their
findings in the journal Biological Psychology. They studied 24 women and 22 men
who kept records of their sexual activity. Then the researchers subjected them
to stressful situations -- such as speaking in public and doing verbal
arithmetic -- and noted their blood pressure response to stress.
¬ Those who had intercourse had better responses to stress than
those who engaged in other sexual behaviours or abstained.
¬ Another study published in the same journal found that frequent
intercourse was associated with lower diastolic blood pressure in cohabiting
participants. Yet other research found a link between partner hugs and lower
blood pressure in women.
Sex Boosts Immunity
ü Good sexual health may mean better physical health. Having sex
once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called
immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other
infections.
ü Scientists at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., took
samples of saliva, which contain IgA, from 112 college students who reported
the frequency of sex they had. Those in the "frequent" group -- once
or twice a week -- had higher levels of IgA than those in the other three
groups -- who reported being abstinent, having sex less than once a week, or
having it very often, three or more times weekly.
Sex Burns Calories
- Thirty
minutes of sex burns 85 calories or more. It may not sound like much, but
it adds up: 42 half-hour sessions will burn 3,570 calories, more than
enough to lose a pound. Doubling up, you could drop that pound in 21
hour-long sessions.
Sex Improves Cardiovascular Health
v While some older folks may worry that the efforts expended
during sex could cause a stroke, that's not so, according to researchers from
England. In a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community
Health, scientists found frequency of sex was not associated with stroke in the
914 men they followed for 20 years.
v And the heart health benefits of sex don't end there. The
researchers also found that having sex twice or more a week reduced the risk of
fatal heart attack by half for the men, compared with those who had sex less
than once a month.
Sex Boosts Self-Esteem
¬ Boosting self-esteem was one of 237 reasons people have sex,
collected by University of Texas researchers and published in the Archives of
Sexual Behaviour.
Sex Improves Intimacy
ü Having sex and orgasms increases levels of the hormone oxytocin,
the so-called love hormone, which helps us bond and build trust. Researchers
from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of North Carolina
evaluated 59 pre menopausal women before and after warm contact with their
husbands and partners ending with hugs. They found that the more contact, the
higher the oxytocin levels.
ü Higher oxytocin has also been linked with a feeling of generosity.
So if you're feeling suddenly more generous toward your partner than usual,
credit the love hormone.
Sex Reduces Pain
v As the hormone oxytocin surges, endorphins increase, and pain
declines. So if your headache, arthritis pain, or PMS symptoms seem to improve
after sex, you can thank those higher oxytocin levels.
v In a study published in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and
Medicine, 48 volunteers who inhaled oxytocin vapour and then had their fingers
pricked lowered their pain threshold by more than half.
Sex Reduces Prostate Cancer Risk
- Frequent
ejaculations, especially in 20-something men, may reduce the risk of
prostate cancer later in life, Australian researchers reported in the
British Journal of Urology
- International.
When they followed men diagnosed with prostate cancer and those without,
they found no association of prostate cancer with the number of sexual
partners as the men reached their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
- But
they found men who had five or more ejaculations weekly while in their 20s
reduced their risk of getting prostate cancer later by a third.
- Another study, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that frequent ejaculations, 21 or more a month, were linked to lower prostate cancer risk in older men, as well, compared with less frequent ejaculations of four to seven monthly.
- Sex
Strengthens Pelvic Floor Muscles
- For
women, doing a few pelvic floor muscle exercises known as Kegels during
sex offers a couple of benefits. You will enjoy more pleasure, and you'll
also strengthen the area and help to minimize the risk of incontinence
later in life.
- To
do a basic Kegel exercise, tighten the muscles of your pelvic floor, as if
you're trying to stop the flow of urine. Count to three, then release.
Sex Helps You Sleep Better
v The oxytocin released during orgasm also promotes sleep,
according to research.
v And getting enough sleep has been linked with a host of other
good things, such as maintaining a healthy weight and blood pressure. Something
to think about, especially if you've been wondering why your guy can be active
one minute and snoring the next.
