The Health Benefits of the Sex

"Sex is more than a hormonal discharge and momentary pleasure. Increasingly more researches point the health benefit brought by sex. And it's not about mental and emotional health, whose balance is obviously tuned by sex. The lack of sex is known to induce from
anxiety to paranoia and depression...

A 10 year research made on 1,000 middle-aged men at Queens University in Belfast, Ireland, revealed that sex on a regular basis is not just healthy, but increases our lifespan.
Men of similar age and health with the highest orgasm frequency displayed half of the death rate of men who did not have such frequent orgasms. Researchers believe this is due to the stress drop induced by sex.

But sex also boosts our body's senses, at least the smell. After the orgasm, a rise of the hormone prolactin occurs inside your body. This chemical makes the brain's stem cells to grow new neurons in the olfactory bulb, where smell is formed, increasing a person's olfactory abilities.

Sex is also a pain reliever: immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin increase by five times, triggering the release of endorphins. These chemicals alleviate pain, from a minor headache to arthritis or migraines. So, a woman's headache is rather a good reason for sex, not against it." -Stefan Anitei
