Getting frisky between the sheets is the ultimate natural sedative. Orgasms cause a surge in the feel-good hormone oxytocin, which promotes relaxation and sleep.
A vigorous and sweaty bedroom session can burn up to 85 calories. After 42 half-hour sessions you could burn up to 3,570 calories, which is the equivalent of 1lb in weight. That means having sex three times a week for a year will help you burn off the equivalent of 5lbs in 12 months. Who needs the gym?
Feeling stressed? Studies show that having regular orgasms helps your brain produce serotonin, commonly found in antidepressants, leaving you more relaxed, less depressed and mentally, physically and emotionally satisfied.
An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away! According to research, getting down and dirty releases an antibody called immunoglobulin A (lgA), which helps protect your body from infections and illnesses. Also great news if you can’t manage an apple a day.
Research shows that engaging in regular heart racing romps releases the hormone testosterone. Although usually associated with muscled men, the female body releases the hormone too, which improves your energy levels and strengthens vital body parts, like your muscles, heart, and bones, making you an even more powerful force between the sheets.
Ditch the night cream for an evening of passion to get that youthful glow. Having sex raises your oestrogen levels, which makes your hair shiny and your skin looking fuller and healthier, leaving you feeling sexy and confident.
So, there we have it, Doctor's orders, but it's not as if we needed an excuse to have more orgasms though did we?
