7 reasons why your body is screaming for a round of sex
This is in the category of ‘what sex is good for‘. It makes you happy, it's nice (duh), and you also burn calories with it. If you want to hear more reasons, just stay here for a moment. Because there is more. These are the reasons why our body wants us to spend a little more time under the covers. Naked. With your love or your Tinder match.
1. Anti-aging
We all know that a dose of sex gives us that wonderful afterglow (for up to 48 hours afterwards), but it turns out that it works even longer. This is because sex boosts the anti-aging hormone DHEA, which gives almost the same effect as a dab of that ridiculously expensive anti-aging cream.
2. You live longer
Sex not only ensures a wrinkle-free face, but it can also actually help you live longer. Studies show that when you dive into bed with your loved one (or Tinder match) at least twice a week, your lifespan is extended by three to as much as eight years. So, back to bed.
3. It keeps you slim
Having a little fun equals burning 200 kcal. Well, if you can choose, then we skip those fifteen minutes on the treadmill. You know it, I know it.
4. Super healthy
We all know that exercising is good for your health and that it is the best remedy against heart and vascular diseases. The moment you get excited, your heart rate increases, and when you reach orgasm, your heart rate peaks. Studies show that having sex three times a week reduces the risk of a heart attack by as much as 50%.
5. Against a runny nose
A runny nose during your sexy time is of course anything but sexy. But let that quality time with your love just ensure that runny nose stays away. Having sex once or twice a week increases the Immunoglobulin A level (which keeps pathogens at bay) in your blood, thus preventing diseases from reaching your body. So sex is actually just a natural antihistamine that not only keeps colds and runny noses away but can also help against hay fever and asthma.
6. Fertility
Yes, this one is for the men. The quality of sperm increases when a man regularly gets laid.
7. PMS
Some ladies prefer to crawl deep under the covers with a bar of chocolate during ‘that time of the month’. Yet it turns out that an orgasm can help reduce PMS symptoms. The contraction of certain muscles during your orgasm causes the muscles around the uterus to relax, and that just happens to be the culprit of your stomach pain.
