Have sex be happy - and healthy

Cm’on - you really need a study to tell you that sex is good? On my previous post, the article mentioned says that having sex before a public speaking can lower your stress level while this latest article gives more reason to have sex more often.

Of course, I would recommend getting married first before applying this new exercise ya?


The article revealed that sex offers protection from depression, colds, heart disease and even cancer. It also lowers your blood pressure. Here are other positives :

The health benefits for middle-aged men are also particularly persuasive. Recent studies suggest that men who have orgasms twice a week are half as likely to die early as men who orgasm less than once a month.

The more frequently men ejaculate, the less likely they are to develop prostate cancer, and if middle-aged men have sex twice a week or more they also have a lower risk of heart attack.

…. In fact, sex probably burns off about the same number of calories per minute as a brisk walk.

Not only guys benefit from it, even the ladies too

Such sex has been linked, in women, to a heightened emotional awareness, possibly because the “love hormone” oxytocin is released. One study even found that semen is a mood-enhancing ingredient.

Doctors speculate that this is because semen contains several other mood-altering hormones — including testosterone, oestrogen, prolactin and several different prostaglandins — which can pass into the woman’s bloodstream.

Woah - I am a walking love hormone. Hehe. Read the article here.
