SCIENCE SAYS: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY WHEN YOU HAVEN'T HAD SEX (FOR A WHILE)

Has it been a while since you got laid? Pay attention. Sex is really good for you – and not just for your mood. Because those who are active in the bedroom not only wake up a little happier every morning; a pleasant sex life is muy importante for your whole body and overall health. Read and remember.

Stress

Did you know that having sex is good for reducing stress? Those who are active in bed worry a lot less. And that's not all. During sex, the substance endorphin is produced in your brain. This makes you feel pain a little less quickly. In short: those who have little to no playtime in bed may suffer from ailments or complain about headaches, stomach aches, muscle pain...

Face

Having a worse skin can also be a possible consequence of a quiet (or non-existent) sex life. Your body produces estrogen during sex, which makes your skin glow beautifully. Moreover, you sweat quite a bit during a wild night – and that also cleanses your pores. Hi, pretty face.

Brain

A lot happens in your brain when you get laid. You also produce the substance oxytocin, which makes you a bit calmer. It's not surprising that you often fall asleep like a log after the deed. Additionally, your brain creates new cells after sex and the functioning of your brain is stimulated. Whether you actually become smarter from it is not proven, but new cells... That sounds interesting, right?

A few unsalted myths and facts in a row:

– Your libido decreases with less sex a bit.
– After a real ‘radio silence’, the next time you have sex may hurt a bit more.
– Your menstrual cramps get worse if you have little to no sexy time with someone.
– Reason enough to let that date go ahead, then. Or to grab your partner firmly tonight (bye bye, excuses). Your body happy, the other happy.

FACTS

– On average men think about sex 19 times a day. Women think about it about 10 times a day.
– Over 40 percent of young people do not use a condom during a one-night stand.
– We are starting to have sex later: half of young people have had sexual intercourse by the age of 18.6.
