Reasons for having sex each day
Have you ever heard that song called "Sexual healing"? It's not just a metaphor. Sex can actually heal.
It can heal your body and mind and prevent lots of diseases. Some say it's the first medicine ever known
to man and it should be administered daily. Sounds too good to be true? Let's discover the four reasons
for which a man should have sex each day.
1. Exercise
Making love is a form of physical activity. During intercourse, the physiological changes in your body are
consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the respiratory rate rises, which means you get tired.
Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex three times a week for 15 minutes (but we know you can do better
than that) you'll burn about 7.500 calories in a year. That's the equivalent of jogging 75 miles!!
Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the testosterone produced during sex
keeps your bones and muscles strong.
2. Pain relief
The "Honey, not today, I have a headache" cannot be an excuse any more. During sex, both male and female
bodies produce endorphins, hormones that act as weak painkillers.
A study conducted by Gina Ogden showed that during sexual stimulation and especially during orgasm we
don't feel pain. If she finds another excuse, remind her that sex is good for her entire reproductive system,
because it trains the PC muscle, which keeps the reproductive organs in shape. In women, sex can also
increase fertility, postpone the menopause and relieve PMS symptoms.
3. Prostate protection
Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid
stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular ejaculation will wash those
fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age. Problems may also occur when you
suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.
4. Preventing erectile dysfunctions
50% of men older than 40 suffer from erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they
won't be able to get it up any more. The best medicine against impotence is…sex. An erection keeps the
blood flowing through your penile arteries, so the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection
to an athletic reflex: the more you train the more capable you are to perform.
5. Stress relief
It's a scientific fact: sex can be a very effective way of reducing stress levels. During sex your body
produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka "happiness hormones" and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.
