10 Reasons To Have More Sex

This is a bit outside our normal realm but many of us are looking for reasons to have sex. Well, here are some health reasons why we all should be doing it more often.

Here are the top 10 reasons to have sex:

1. Exercise: Most people might not know that sex counts as a form of physical activity. Having sex three times a week burns around 7,500 calories a year. This is equivalent to jogging 75 miles.
2. Strong Bones and Muscles: The increase of testosterone while having sex helps keep the bones strong.
3. Pain Relief: Hormones are released during sexual excitement and orgasm that can elevate your pain thresholds including: arthritis, headaches and whiplash. It’s so funny because I always wondered how I would sprain an ankle or cut my finger and the pain would be completely gone while I was having sex. The body is so amazing.
4. Heavy Breathing: An increase of oxygen in the cells due to heavy breathing helps keep your organs and tissues functioning at their peaks.
5. Lowered Cholesterol: Making love regularly can help lower your cholesterol levels slightly, while positively changing the ration of good-to-bad cholesterol.
6. Stress Relief: Having sex regularly can also help reduce stress, which in turn can help with weight loss.
7. Prostate Protection: Having sex is very important for men because ejaculating regularly will wash out the fluids in the prostate gland. Researchers say that a build up of fluids in the prostate gland can cause prostate trouble. Be cautious when suddenly changing frequency because sudden changes may also trigger prostate problems.
8. Hormones: For women, regular sex can increase their estrogen levels. In return protecting their heart and keeping vaginal tissues more supple.
9. DHEA: This is a popular supplement hormone that is produced naturally during sex just before ejaculation and orgasm. DHEA spikes an incredibly three to five times higher than usual.
10. Oxytocin: Affectionate touching and regular love making will increase oxytocin known as the bonding hormone. Regular oxytocin release may help encourage frequent lovemaking.

There you have it. Go ahead and have more sex knowing that you are taking care of your health.
