Sex is not just about pleasure and getting close to your partner, it is also has certain health benefits that we have listed below.
Lowers stress
Sex helps to create a balance between our emotional and mental health as it is a great stress buster. After sex, the brain releases endorphins that decrease stress, inducing a state of euphoria, in an individual.
Boosts our immune system
Regular lovemaking boosts the body’s production of virus fighting chemicals. Recent research has revealed that regular sex can maintain antibodies at a higher level, thereby protecting us against infection.
Improves sleep
If you suffer from insomnia, then try having sex before you head to bed, as it induces sleep.
Promotes heart health
A recent study shows that men who have sex more than twice a week, have a lesser chance of having a heart attack, when compared to men who avoid sex.
Balanced hormone level
Have trouble with your menstrual cycle? Then, make love with your partner, as this will help regulate the menstrual cycle and also decrease cramps as sex helps maintain a balanced hormonal level.
Strengthens pelvic muscles

Look beautiful
