Sex and science: the health benefits of lovemaking

 

Sex Relieves Stress: a big health benefit of sex is lower blood
pressure and overall stress reduction.

Sex Boosts Immunity: having sex once or twice a week has
been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin which
can protect you from getting colds and other infections.

– Sex Burns Calories: thirty minutes of sex burns 85 calories or
more.

– Sex Reduces Pain: as the hormone oxytocin surges, endorphins
increase, and pain declines.

– Sex Helps You Sleep Better: the oxytocin released during orgasm
also promotes sleep.
