The Health Benefits of Having Fabulous Sex!

By now, we should all know the health risks of unprotected sex. But did you know there are health benefits to having great sex in a monogamous relationship, too?

(1) Lose That Weight - Sex is exercise and you can burn over 200 calories in a single vigorous bout. Muscular contractions during sex work all parts of your body including the pelvis, buttocks, arms and thighs.

(2) Smell the Roses - After you’ve had sex, a hormone called prolactin surges through your body. This hormone causes the brain to produce new neutrons in the brain’s olfactory center, which controls your sense of smell.

(3) Pain Relief - Ditch the Tylenol and find your lover. Bet you didn’t know that immediately before orgasm, levels of a hormone called oxytocin surge to five times their normal levels in the human body. This releases endorphins, which alleviate the pain of migraines, arthritis and any other ache you can think of. In women, sex also increases estrogen production, which makes the PMS pain easier to handle.
