An Orgasm A Week Keeps the Doctor Away?
It has been well documented that frequent sex can have a multitude of health benefits, but what are the benefits? Are they quantifiable, or is it just one of those things we like to believe because it’s just so darn fun to do all the time, and if there are health benefits too, then that just makes it all that much more fun and justified. You see, not only is sex our human race’s natural way to further our species and reproduce, but nature also made it so that having sex frequently is good for us and feel so good that we want to do it a lot. I think you can probably relate this to your life. How good do you feel when you’re having sex often? Probably a lot more relaxed and focused than when you aren’t.
Sexual frustration mounts quickly for both men and women when they are not having sexual relations often enough or when they have not orgasmed in a long time. The male orgasm is a powerful thing, and having them often transcends into every other facet of our lives (see male orgasm tips on how to have better, more powerful orgasms). This is only natural. There is a whole rush of chemical reactions that occur when we – both men and women – have orgasms, that affects us in a positive way when it comes to our physiological responses.
There have been studies that suggest that having at least two orgasms per week for men and women can increase your life expectancy in fact. So, if you’re not having sex all that often, this might be a good thing to tell your sexual partner so that you two can start making plans to get friendly in the bedroom more often! The suspected reason for this increase in life span related to frequency of orgasms is that there is a chemical called DHEA (for short) released which improves your immune function, helps repair your tissues, improves focus and mental acuity, and may even improve your mood and your skin. So wait a second, not only is it a benefit to your health, but it can also help you look prettier? Good deal!
This chemical is released both during sexual excitement and during sexual arousal in fact. Having sex also helps to boost the male and female hormones, respectively, in the body, which are necessary for bone health, heart health and an array of other bodily functions which can potentially lengthen your life when they are released. Not only that, but the actual act of having sexual intercourse is often an act that requires aerobic activity which is good for the circulation, heart health, mood boosting and also for your overall cardiovascular health. It has also of course been linked to an array of other defenses against diseases that can be potentially deadly.
