Besides being the most pleasurable physical activity that we humans experience, sexual intercourse has got many surprising health & happiness benefits. At least 2 explosive orgasms per week can have amazing effects on one’s health – here are 6 benefits of sex you may not be aware of:-

1. Sex builds a special bond between 2 people

Sexual Intercourse provides a beautiful, intimate bonding experience between a man and a woman unlike any other activity that lovers can experience together. Having sex and orgasms increases levels of the hormone oxytocin, the so-called love hormone, which helps us bond and build trust. The best thing is that it’s FREE. Especially with the current Global Economic Crisis, a bit of hot and steamy action in the bedroom should definately be on the list of fun activities.

2. Sex provides  good exercise

The average lovemaking session lasts between 10-15 minutes and in the process burns between 50 and 100 calories.

This means that having sex three times a week burns 7500 calories per year, the equivalent of jogging 75 miles.

3. Sex makes us feel really good and boosts self esteem

A good sexual experience leaves both lovers feeling really good, almost proud of themselves for what they have accomplished. This is just wonderful, suddenly the world doesn’t seem like such a bad place after all if there is stil an activity which can make you feel THAT good. Your mind is clear and you are now ready to take on those challenges which you have been puting aside. Sex is also an instant cure for mild depression, it releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being and relaxation.

4. Sex reduces pain

Yes, it’s true! Sexual activity results in a surge of the hormone oxytocin. Headaches, toothaches and various other aches and pains actually get better after a good round or two of passionate love making.

5. Sex improves blood circulation and makes the brain function better

Recent studies have shown that women can raise their IQ with every orgasm that they experience. WOW !

The study also  found that the moment of orgasm causes the speed of blood circulation to reach its maximum. This means oxygen-enriched blood reaches organs, including the brain, very quickly.  This results in an overall healthier body and a smarter mind.

6. Sex Helps You Sleep Better

The oxytocin released during orgasm also promotes sleep, according to research.

And getting enough sleep has been linked with a host of other good things, such as maintaining a healthy weight and blood pressure. Something to think about, especially if you’ve been wondering why your guy can be active one minute and snoring the next.
