Having sex can help your stress levels and improve your health
How many of you realise that stress is totally linked to how much sex you may or may not be having. Tayo Irvine Hendrix explains that when you have had a particularly stressful week at work the best thing to do to get off to a good weekend is to ring your partner tell them to meet you at home and have a long loving sex session.
For while stress can have an effect on your libido it is important to understand that sex is the greatest natural stress reliever. Hence the old joke about the boss needing a good roll in the hay!
Tayo says that in the USA a study of over fifty middle aged women found, sex, or even simply physical affection with your partner significantly reduced negative mood and stress and created higher positive moods in the following days. However, ladies the sad fact is, the result was not the same when women had orgasms without a partner. So home play does not reduce stress however satisfying it may be!
Five Thing That Release Stress:
- Massage reduces stress
- Physical Touch reduces stress
- A healthy sex life reduces stress
- A good strong orgasm reduces stress
- Deep breathing reduces stress
Tayo adds that having two or more orgasms per week can improve your health. A UK study has shown this to be the case. It looked at the relationship between having frequent orgasms (two or more per week) and mortality in men. Men who had frequent orgasms had a lower risk of death than men who did not have frequent orgasms.
Five Things A Good Orgasm Will Improve:
- A good sex life reduces blood pressure
- Research points to the sedative and relaxing effect of oxytocin and other endorphins.
- Masturbation can aid a restful sleep... that is why so many masturbate at bed time
- A good sex life reduces prostate problems in your man
- An orgasms can relieve migraine headaches (remember he feign headache)
So if you're feeling ill or stressed out, don't whinge about it, get down to it and leave your worries behind!
