I love both, the fantasy aspect of it, and the release. Humans are social animals, as we love to interact physically with the opposite sex for mental and physical health. Us men need to get our oil changed, so to speak, by getting our balls drained once every few days, or kms, whichever comes first. Lol.
Here is a list of just some of health benefits of sex:
1) IMPROVED IMMUNITY: People who have sex once or twice a week have significantly higher levels of immunoglobulin A. (IgA). Your IgA immune system is your body's first line of defense. It's job is to fight off invading organisms at their entry points, eliminating the need for activation of your body's immune system. This explains why people who have sex frequently also take fewer sick days.
2) HEART HEALTH: Men who have sex regularly (at least twice a week) are 45% less likely to develop heart disease than those who did so once a month or less. Sexual activity not only provides many of the same benefits to your heart as exercise, but also keeps levels of estrogen and testosterone in balance, which is important to heart health.
3) LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE: Sexual activity and intercourse is linked to better stress response and lower blood pressure.
4) IT'S A FORM OF EXERCISE: Sex helps boost your heart rate, burns calories and strengthens muscles, just like exercise. Sex burns about 4 calories per minute for men, and 3 for women. It also helps maintain your flexibility and balance.
5) PAIN RELIEF: Sexual activity releases pain - reducing hormones. It can reduce leg and back pain, menstrual cramps, arthritis and headaches.
6) MAY REDUCE PROSTATE CANCER: Preliminary studies have shown that men who ejaculate at least 21 times per month, have a much lower risk of prostate cancer.
7) IMPROVES SLEEP: After sex, the relaxation - inducing hormone, prolactin is released, which may help you nod off more quickly. The "love hormone" oxytocin, released during orgasm, also promotes sleep.
8) STRESS RELIEF: (How do you spell Relief? ROLAIDS. Just kidding).
No, really, sex triggers your body to release it's natural feel-good chemicals, helping to ease stress and boost pleasure, calm and self-esteem. Research also shows that those who have sexual intercourse responded better when subjected to stressful situations like speaking in public.
9) BOOST YOUR LIBIDO: The more you have sex,the more likely you are going to want to keep doing it. There's a mental connection there, but also a physical one, particularly for women. More frequent sex helps increase vaginal lubrication, blood flow and elasticity, which in turn make sexual activity more enjoyable.
10) IMPROVED BLADDER CONTROL IN WOMEN: Intercourse helps strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which contract during orgasm. This can help women with their bladder control and avoid incontinence. You can boost this benefit even more by practicing Kegel exercises during sex. (A Kegel squeeze is performed by drawing your lower pelvic muscles up and holding them up high and tight, as if you're trying to stop a flow of urine)
So there you have it Jaime. A good question deserves a good answer. I hope this answer helps people realize the importance of the spa and sex industries.
