1. Immune system booster

 “My headache is killing me.” may now be your best reason to have sex! A startling number of medical professionals are now recognising how sexual and emotional health affect our entire well being as how our brain directly impacts our immune system. Those who enjoy a regular and fulfilling sex life (i.e. regular orgasms) are less stressed and generally more well physically, mentally and emotionally. It is also said that sexual contentment leads to less severe headaches and reduced discomfort from arthritis in both genders.

2. Calories burner

Forget about those fad diets you’ve been experimenting! It’s time to get busy in the bedroom. A mere 30-minutes of sex burns 90 calories and while that may not sound very impressive, at an average of three times a week, you’re burning 5 pounds in a year!

3. No more pain

Believe or not, orgasm is one fully loaded tranquilizer. Oxytocin, a naturally occurring chemical in the body flows during and after climax while working in together with a few other endorphins ensure you feel no pain.

4. Aging buster

Regular sex releases a loads of “feel good” chemicals into your bloodstream, including testosterone. As we age, our testosterone levels decrease. Sex is a wonderful way to build your reserves back up, helping build new bones and muscles while putting a youthful glow on your face.

5. Feel good factor

In a recent MSNBC article, researchers believe that sex helps the brain produce serotonin which, in turn, prompts new neurons to grow. Most antidepressant medications, like Zoloft, work to increase serotonin levels. These drugs usually take three to four weeks to take effect – about the same amount of time required for new neurons to generate. One reason these drugs could be an effective treatment is because they increase cell growth – just as sex does!
