Sex Does A Body 

Good

Sex...okay now that I have your attention I am going to just touch on a couple of ways that sex is not only for your body, but it's good for the soul.  One shouldn't be amazed that something that was created for good and feels good would have so many mental and physical benefits. 

Having sex regularly with your partner not only brings you closer, this is closeness and intimacy bleeds into your daily dealings with your partner, thus, benefit number one, is reducing of stress.  Research shows that having sex once or twice weekly can reduce stress enabling you to be a better and happier employee. This is because when we have sex it releases endorphins and oxytocin. These are feel good hormones which gives you that feeling of relaxation.  These endorphins and oxytocin also have another benefit.  These good feeling hormones stave off and or decrease levels of depression and anxiety.  

For people with a chronic illness, sleep is a necessity.  Sex on a regular basis, doctors state at least twice weekly, more is ofcourse better, aid in sounder sleep.  The same hormones that destress you are the same hormones that prep you for sleep.  Now ofcourse, if you have a very rousing round of sex, it will take you longer to go to sleep due to the body's need to come back to calmer levels.

Pain. Pain is something that I with MS and others with chronic illness contend with daily.  The endorphins that are released during orgasm closely mimic that of morpheine.  And what is morpheine? Morpheine is a narcotic pain reliever.  The orgasmic endorphins mimic morpheine, thus releasing pain for a certain period of time after. 

Also, people with chronic illnesses take medication that is for their condition, but also suppresses their immune system.  A compromised immune system is a great place for nasty little colds that come around this time of the year. People who have sex were found to have higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobuliin A. So with regular sex, your immune system is a little stronger, thus aiding in reducing your incidences of catching colds or getting over them more quickly. It just gets better and better.

Did you know that having sex four time a week will make you  look younger?  Research showed that couples who had sex at least four time a week look on average 7-12 years younger than their actual age! Regular sex releases hormones of testosterone and estrogen which keep the body youthful and vital.  And not only does it help you look younger, regular sex does a body good by keeping it toned. It is one of the best cardio exercises that you can do, and you are sculpting your body as you squeeze and move during lovemaking.

I can go on and on about this subject because there are just so many benefits to having REGULAR sex the list is endless.  Yes, there may be many kinds of medications that you are on for your illness.  I know that myself I am a walking pharmacy, but one of the most pleasurable ways to aid in your overall health is good, regular sex. It really does a body good.  

Enjoy, as I will also.
