Is sex really that important? Find out!
As more and more research is done on the subject, it’s becoming clearer that having healthy sex is essential to a healthy life. Sex can even help you to live longer. According to Dr. Irwin Goldstein, Director of Sexual Medicine at Alvarado Hospital, if you read the latest research, “you can’t conclude anything else but that it’s healthy to have sexual activity.”
The research being done pinpoints a few specific — and surprising — health benefits that result from having a healthy and active sex life. Healthline examines a dozen of the most proven and interesting findings.
• SEX FIGHTS COLDS AND THE FLU
According to a study done at Wilkes University, people who have sex a couple of times a week tend to have much higher amounts of the antibody immunoglobulin A (IgA) than those who have sex less than once a week. What does that mean? “IgA is the first line of defense against colds and flu,” says Carl Charnetski, one of the researchers on the Wilkes study.
• SEX BURNS CALORIES
Sex increases blood flow and gets your heart pumping. Simply put, sex is a form of exercise, and it’s more fun than running laps. Sex doesn’t burn a ton of calories. According to a 2013 article in The New England Journal of Medicine, a man in his mid-30s might expend 21 kilocalories during intercourse. However, it’s still more exercise than you’d get sitting on the couch in front of your TV.
• SEX REDUCES RISK OF HEART DISEASE
Numerous studies have shown that an active sex life is closely correlated with a longer life. Specifically, it seems like sex may lower the risk for heart attacks, strokes, and other heart diseases. In 2010, the New England Research Institute conducted a massive study. Its results suggested that regular sexual activity may reduce heart disease risk.
• SEX REGULATES HORMONE LEVELS
Why should you care? Among other things, a healthy hormone profile promotes regular menstrual cycles and decreases negative menopause symptoms.
• SEX CAN CURE HEADACHES AND REDUCE PHYSICAL PAIN
Although it doesn’t seem like sex would help relieve a headache, it actually can. How? During sex, the hormone oxytocin is released in your body. Oxytocin reduces pain. In a study published in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, volunteers who inhaled oxytocin vapor and then had their fingers pricked felt only half as much pain as others who did not inhale any oxytocin.
• SEX REDUCES STRESS AND LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE
There is another benefit of the oxytocin released during orgasm: it calms the nerves. Studies done on lab rats have shown that oxytocin counteracts the effects of cortisol, which is a stress hormone. Sex also helps you sleep better. When your partner rolls over and starts snoring after a good bout in the bed, it’s not just from physical exhaustion. Oxytocin not only calms you down, but it also specifically promotes sleep.
• SEX REDUCES RISK FOR PROSTATE CANCER
In 2003, Australian researchers published a study showing that the more often men ejaculate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop prostate cancer. According to the author of the study, men in their 20s should probably be ejaculating once a day. A similar study performed a year later by the National Cancer Institute showed that men who ejaculated at least five times a week, whether through sex or masturbation, were less likely to get prostate cancer. “The claim physiologically,” Goldstein told us, “is that if you empty out the tank every so often, it’s healthier than holding onto the material within the tank.”
• SEX REDUCES RISK FOR BREAST CANCER
Women can get in on this sex-as-preventive-care thing too. According to Goldstein, studies show that “women who have vaginal intercourse often have less risk of breast cancer than those who don’t.” Goldstein added that it’s “pretty interesting and exciting and needs to be studied more.”
• SEX BOOSTS SELF-ESTEEM AND IMPROVES MOOD
The psychological benefits of a healthy sex life are many. The feeling of walking around on cloud nine after sex lasts longer than you think. According to Goldstein, a healthy sex life leads to long-term satisfaction with one’s mental health and enhances your ability to communicate honestly and intimately. People who are sexually active are less likely to have alexithymia. This is a personality trait characterized by the inability to express or understand emotions.
• SEX PREVENTS PREECLAMPSIA
Preeclampsia is a condition where blood pressure rises and causes other organ dysfunction. It is common after 20 weeks gestation, but can sometimes occur earlier in pregnancy or even postpartum. A number of studies have shown that if a woman has had enough exposure to her partner’s semen prior to conception, she is significantly less likely to get preeclampsia. Tests conducted by Dutch biologists in 2000 confirmed that women who regularly practice oral sex — particularly those who swallow their partner’s semen — have a much lower risk of preeclampsia.
• SEX IMPROVES SENSE OF SMELL
Scientists knew for a long time that the hormone prolactin surges in both men and women after orgasm. In 2003, a team of Canadian researchers did a test on mice. They discovered that prolactin causes stem cells in the brain to develop new neurons in the brain’s olfactory bulb — its smell center. Dr. Samuel Weiss, one of the researchers, said that he suspects that the increase in prolactin levels after sex helps “forge memories that are part of mating behaviors.”
• SEX INCREASES BLADDER CONTROL
The pelvic thrusting involved in sex exercises the Kegel muscles. These are the same set of muscles that controls urine flow. So lots of sex now may help prevent the onset of incontinence later.
SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT SEX
Beyond the obvious, sexual intercourse has many healthy benefits. It can help you feel happier, be healthier, and live a longer life. It can also protect against disease and possibly prevent cancer. Here, we explore some of the additional benefits that having sex can give you.
• SEX SLASHES STRESS
Intercourse may cut your stress level. A study published in the journal Biological Perspective asked participants to take part in a stressful activity, such as giving a speech or taking a complicated math quiz. The participants who had vaginal intercourse before a stressful task had lower levels of stress and lower blood pressures when compared to people who had no sex, those who masturbated, and those who had sexual contact without intercourse.
• LESS SEX, MORE WORK
Researchers at the University of Gottingen in Germany found that people with a less-than-robust sex life tend to take on more work to compensate for their lack of fulfillment in the bedroom. The study asked 32,000 people to describe their sex and work habits. The researchers found that 36 percent of men and 35 percent of women who have sex only once a week plunge themselves into their work. The more work you have, the more stress you have — and the more stress you have, the less sex you have. It’s a truly vicious cycle.
• SEX IS GOOD FOR YOUR TICKER
Intercourse certainly gets your heart beating, but that’s not where the heart health benefits end. A study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community HealthTrusted Source found that sex can actually decrease a man’s risk for a fatal heart attack. Researchers found that men who had sex two times or more each week were less likely to die from a heart attack than men who had sex less often. The study found no relationship between the frequency of intercourse and the likelihood of dying from a stroke.
• BETTER SELF-ESTEEM
The sex and self-esteem street has two sides: people who have sex feel good about themselves, and people have sex to feel good about themselves. A study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior looked at the many reasons humans have sex and found that one of the most common driving factors is the self-esteem boost many get from doing the deed. These same people report that sex makes them feel powerful and more attractive. Also, some people in the study had more altruistic intentions and wanted their partner to feel good about themselves.
• SEX RELIEVES PAIN
Sex can make you feel good in more than one way. There’s the obvious physical benefit, and then the less obvious: pain relief. During arousal and orgasm, the hypothalamus in the brain releases the feel-good hormone oxytocin. Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey found that this surge of oxytocin may actually help women feel less pain, especially during menstruation. A study published in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine found that oxytocin in men cuts pain perception by half.
• SEX PROTECTS AGAINST CANCER
According to some research, men aged 50 and over who have frequent sex are less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than men their same age who do not have sex often. A study published in the journal BJU InternationalTrusted Source found that intercourse and masturbation may reduce the risk of prostate cancer in older men. Another study published in the Journal of the American Medical AssociationTrusted Source found that frequent ejaculations in a man’s ’20s may also help decrease his risk of prostate cancer.
• ORGANSM IMPROVES SPERM QUALITY
Frequent sex may improve a man’s sperm quality, reduce DNA damage to sperm, and increase fertility. According to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, men who had sex daily, or ejaculated daily, had more viable and higher quality semen after seven days than men who did not have sex. The study suggests this approach may help couples with mild fertility problems conceive.
• CONSIDER SAFETY
Sex is a chance for couples to explore their passions, connect with one another, and enjoy their relationship. It also has several additional benefits that are icing on the cake. Of course, to maintain a healthy sex life, don’t forget to practice safe sex. Use protection, especially if you’re not in a monogamous relationship, and get tested for sexually transmitted infections regularly.

WHY MEN LOVE SEX SO MUCH
Ladies and gents, put religion whatsoever aside. This purely a d practically natural. It's just the way it is 🤷
Shout out to those who have chosen the celibate way both male and female for a good and definite purpose, especially the reverend Father's and Sisters Pastors and Apostles amongst several others I can't mention.
May the Lord you devoted you whole lives to uphold you. It takes a lot of self-discipline and determination to be down some natural forces.
I am not say that this of us who choose marriage are obscene, nasty or unholy, no. We are all the children of YAHWEH and in all our chosen ways or lifestyles, our GOD is to be glorified.
So I want to secure a permission from all of you to share this information
Please read the following..
Women find it hard to understand why men love sex so much,
They want to help you, they want sex.
They say they love you,they want sex.
You mistakenly sleep over,they want sex.
They want to borrow you money. They want sex.
They want to give you a job. They want sex.
They want to pass you. They want sex.
First of all You need to understand the system of men. Men are naturally created that way, Do you know that 95% of healthy men wake up with an Erection?
Do you know that the penis has a mind of his own?.
A man can be sleeping, once you start rubbing the penis, it stands even when the man is asleep.
Have you asked yourself why men are never on any periods? Cramps or bad moods.
That's how God created Men.
A man is naturally always ready for sex. Rub a man on his head, he already thinks you want sex, wink at him, he's already seeing you naked. wave at a man walking with his wife, he will lose focus.
That's why churches don't allow ladies with short dresses to sit in front because they will confuse pastor.
Its not by anointing or by speaking in tongues.
Men didn't manufacture the high libido by themselves.
Men are all created in God's image. The Bible recorded only few men who overcome sex in the Bible, Jesus Christ himself and Joseph, Joseph didn't just run away, he fled.
Jesus was God and on top that, he was very careful not to include a woman in his disciple train.
So many great men have fallen because of sex. Do you think they wanted to?. Soldiers in front of war still develop urge for Sex. So many soldiers were killed during war's because a woman may lure them Inside bush.
David in the bible sent a woman's husband to the war front for him to die so he can have sex with the wife. do i need to tell you about Samson?. Solomon and other bible characters?
It can only take the grace of God, and some level of maturity to curtail this.
The way a man's body react to this is not the same way a woman's body react to it.
How many great women have you heard messed up because of sex, None or even few. So next time a man 'misbehaves' because of sex, don't see it as he's a beast or an animal.
Men are just responding to nature.
It is not easy for him to easily abstain from sex that is why you need to pray for your man, stand by him, never push him away, help him build himself to be able to resist the temptations of sex. With God and you he can become a better man.
Additionally, most of our woman are pretenders. if a woman is comfortable with her man, then you will see that they love and enjoy sex most.
