Love & Sex

7 reasons why sex is hugely healthy

Sex is healthy, that's no rocket science. But did you know that a little wrestling between/on/next to/under the sheets has many more benefits for your health than you think? No? Just read along, it could very well be seven reasons to get it on more often.

1. It helps you breathe easier and even acts as a natural antihistamine to combat hay fever and asthma.

2. Sex burns a ton of calories that your gym could only dream of, uh, sucking. About 96 in 20 minutes of hanky-panky.

3. You might find that after a round of sex, you have less pain. Stimulating the clitoris has a pain-relieving effect on migraines, menstrual cramps, and arthritis.

4. It makes you younger. Well, not literally, but it does make you look younger. Through sex, you have less stress and sleep better, which in turn makes you the best-looking version of yourself.

5. Sex can help you fight diseases. If you have sex, say, once or twice a week, you produce thirty percent more antibodies that strengthen your immune system.

6. Sex makes you happy; research shows that people who have frequent sex are overall much more satisfied.

7. You live longer, allowing you to enjoy all those benefits for a while longer. The more sex, the better, is the motto.
