Here are 5 Automatic Benefits of Sex!
1. Happy Hormones are
released when you have sex, oxytocin and endorphins to be exact. Calming
hormones are released in your body which can help to lower your blood
pressure as well. (FYI, solo acts don’t have this effect, only partner
sex with your hubby.)
2. Kissing, cuddling, and hugging
can help relieve stress too. Studies show that couples that kiss,
cuddle, and touch more are less depressed and stressed than their
non-touchy feely counterparts. In fact, couples that kiss a lot are
eight times less likely to be stressed!
Keep the smooching going ladies, especially in the tough stressful times (this will also keep your hubby in a good mood too).
3. Sex can keep you healthy! During the holidays the last thing anyone wants is to get sick. There’s just too much to do. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Sex releases a hormone that helps you ward off germs and viruses,
helping to keep you healthy. Being free of illness is a great stress
reliever in itself.
4. Less is More! I bet you thought I was going to say, having less sex is better for you. No silly! In fact, the more sex you have the more it will benefit you. The more you have the less stressed you’ll become.
It is true that sometimes we get a little
anxiety (stress) that comes on right before having sex. But, the more
sex we have over time that decreases, which means you will lower the
amount of cortisol in your body. That is a good thing since chronic
stress can lead to heart disease, weight gain, and other things we don’t want. More sex = less cortisol and in this case, less is well…more (it’s better for you).
5. Good sex and a good mood
seem to go hand in hand. Research has shown that after a woman has sex
not only is she less stressed that day, but women also tend to be in a
better mood the following day. What’s even better is the fact that when
you are in a good mood, it leads to more sex.
(I know your husband will probably be standing up applauding me after you tell him this.)
Beats going to the gym any day!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I brought T & I a homemade treat with coffee outside. He was silent. I asked him why, & he says he's scared. He wonders what I'm up to, and is waiting for the kibosh I'm going to lay on him! Too funny.
