Many would agree that sex is essential for a fulfilling life, and they would be right. We all know that sexual intercourse is not limited to procreation but is also a source of positive emotions. However, there are lesser-known areas of life where sex brings enormous benefits.
1. Sex boosts intelligence. European medical professionals have published studies claiming that during sex, the body produces hormones that increase nerve tone and influence mental performance. Older people who are sexually active maintain mental clarity longer and are less susceptible to age-related brain diseases.
2. After years of research, British scientists made a sensational announcement: regular sex helps preserve youth. The bodies of people who have regular sex are less susceptible to the effects of age. According to scientists, sexual intercourse releases pleasure hormones into the bloodstream, stimulating the body.
3. Active sex increases attractiveness. Our appearance is largely determined by heredity, but genetics is not the only determining factor. According to psychological research, women who have regular sex are perceived as more attractive by members of the opposite sex.
4. According to cardiac surgeons, sex is essential for training the heart and strengthening blood vessels. Medical studies show that regular sex reduces the risk of heart attack.
But if sex is so beneficial to health, why do people so often give it up? There are a number of reasons. Psychological: numerous insecurities stemming from adolescence and prejudices acquired during upbringing often stand in the way of a fulfilling sex life. Medical: health problems inevitably lead to sexual problems. Others include physical fatigue due to an “overly active” lifestyle, lack of time, the absence of a suitable sexual partner at the moment, and much more.
And yet, don't forget that all problems are solvable if you have good health. Take care of it, have sex, and be happy.
