The 5 scientific reasons to have more sex
Monday, January 15, better known as Blue Monday. A bit nonsense actually if you ask me and Simone, but well, it seems to be the most depressing day of the year (in terms of weather it does make sense). There are of course several ways to ensure that today is really not that bad – going to The Greatest Showman for example, going for a nice walk, bingewatching Friends or just comfortably diving back into bed with your loved one for a good round of sex. Good for your mood, but if we are to believe science, also good for the following five points:
1. It makes you smarter
Research from the University of Maryland in the United States and the University in Seoul shows that one does not suddenly become a mastermind, but it does show that stress levels decrease through sex. And less stress naturally means improving your brain function.
2. It keeps that cold away
Wondering what the right amount of sex is to avoid that cold? Twice a week, as revealed by an analysis from Wilkes University.
3. You gain a boost
Okay, how this research at Oregon State University worked was like this: 159 people were followed to see if there were changes in their behavior at work if they had sex the night before. roll in the hay. Sex = positive mood = an increase in job satisfaction. If you are happier at work, then your boss is also happy and it could very well lead to a promotion.
4. It helps reduce menstrual cramps
Is being on your period a disaster for you every month and can't you do without paracetamol? To reduce the pain, you don't even need a partner in bed; a survey among 1900 women showed that 91% of the ladies regularly used masturbation to get rid of menstrual pain.
5. It does the work of 1,001 anti-aging serums
This will save you a lot of money, because if you want to age beautifully, then all those creams and serums that you always spend so much money on can just be thrown in the trash. According to Scottish neuropsychologist David Weeks, having sex two to three times a week leads to a younger appearance. You will never feel old again.
Happy humping!
