Why do we have sex? You might think the answer is obvious: to have an orgasm. Or to procreate? Fewer and fewer people actively engaging in intense sex are driven by these motivations.
The majority of progressive humanity has long used sex as the most pleasant and cheapest remedy for… Yes, for a host of problems!
1. You have permanent depression, and everything around you is terribly irritating.
So, during sex, your mood noticeably improves. Beyond just psychological satisfaction, intercourse releases endorphins, a hormone responsible for a good mood and a positive outlook on life. Some researchers also claim that this improved mood is linked to changes in the body's hormonal status, caused by the activation of certain centers of the brain. Phew, I barely said it! It's actually quite simple: quality sex improves your mood chemically—and you don't have to put in any special effort. It truly is “relax and enjoy.”
2. You constantly have pain somewhere.
Onward to sexual exploits – reducing pain sensitivity! Before orgasm, a person's bloodstream
A hormone with the mysterious name oxytocin is released, which triggers the production of pain-relieving endorphins—natural analogues of morphine. And in women, sex actually stimulates the production of estrogens, which suppress the pain associated with premenstrual syndrome. So sex is the best painkiller.
3. You are unhappy with your weight, you are constantly on diets, but this does not help you lose weight.
Bedtime is the best piece of exercise equipment ever invented! An aroused person's heart rate increases from 70 to 150 beats per minute—the same as a weightlifter lifting weights. A single sexual encounter burns about the same number of calories as 15 minutes of brisk running on a treadmill—how much more enjoyable is the former? And finally, a little math: 30 minutes of intercourse burns 200 calories. So, if you have sex once a day, you'll lose a pound in a week! And in a month?
4. You regularly catch all kinds of viruses.
Strengthen your immune system with sex! People who do this regularly have 30 percent more antibodies in their blood than abstinent individuals. That's why sexually active women and men are much less likely to catch the flu, colds, and other infectious diseases. As for illnesses contracted in other ways, the answer is obvious: condoms, condoms, and more condoms. Not, of course, in the sense of putting on three at once, but in the sense of remembering to buy one! Fortunately, these super-necessary items are sold everywhere—at the pharmacy or at the checkout counter of any supermarket.
5. You are not satisfied with the size of your breasts.
It's unbelievable, but true: regular sex actually increases breast size! Blood flow increases during arousal, and breasts can “grow” by up to 25 percent!
6. Your memory often fails you; you have trouble absorbing information.
It's hard to believe, but with every orgasm, women… increase their IQ! American scientists, tirelessly researching the sexual potential of bipeds, have discovered that during orgasm, blood circulation in the body reaches its maximum speed, and oxygen-rich blood quickly reaches all organs, including the brain. And the hormonal system's control center, the hypothalamus, also controls the memory and learning centers. So, students should do more than just cram during exams…
7. You suffer from insomnia.
And how sweet it is to fall asleep after an orgasm, right? That's because the increased levels of the hormone oxytocin during sex have a powerful calming effect and are an excellent natural sleep aid.
8. You are not satisfied with the tone of your skin.
So what's the matter? Sex exercises virtually every muscle group, especially those so important for women, such as the pelvic floor, thighs, buttocks, abdominal muscles, and arms. Furthermore, during intercourse, the hormone testosterone is released into the bloodstream, which has a beneficial effect on the musculoskeletal system. Regular sex also improves posture. Twenty minutes of sex is equivalent to a half-hour of morning exercise. So, if you're generally thin but can't seem to get rid of that pesky belly, now you know what to do.
9. You are horrified to discover new signs of aging on your face.
Regular sex increases the body's levels of collagen, which is essential for women and is known to make skin smoother and silkier. And progesterone, produced during sex, helps reduce acne. According to the same American studies, couples who consistently have sex at least three times a week after age 30 ALWAYS look two to three years younger than their peers who practice abstinence.
10. You are constantly dissatisfied with yourself.
Any long-legged beauty, especially one younger than you, quietly irritates you, and photos of models in magazines ruin your mood for the entire day… Only passionate sex can cure this affliction. When the man you desire tells you that you're the most beautiful woman on earth and proves it with your actions, you'll finally stop worrying about how many extra inches have encircled your waist or how your butt isn't as firm as it once was. When a man wants you, it's much easier to accept and love yourself!
