5 Reasons Sex is Good for your wellbeing

Did you know there are some health benefits to having an orgasm? Sexual stimulation with a partner or by yourself can do so much for your wellbeing. Here is where the old saying "if it feels good do it" applies.

Relieves tension

If you’re feeling stressed out from overwork or as a result of a stressful day having an orgasm can really take the edge off. There is increased blood flow from sexual stimulation which comes to a relaxing climax with an orgasm. The tension in your body relaxes you and in pent up nerves in your nervous system. The end result is a calming effect and a relaxing of your whole body and its muscles. So when you are stressed out having an orgasm can relieve you of all the stress that has built up that day.

Helps you sleep better

Orgasms release endorphins which is a natural tranquilizer. These endorphins when released calm you and help you to relax. Can't sleep? Maybe you should wake up your partner. It’s amazing how relaxed you can feel after sex. In short order you should be relaxed enough to fall off to sleep.

Calms cravings for junk food

Sexual stimulation produces phenetylamine (PEA) which is a natural amphetamine which controls your appetite. You don't need those potato chips you just need a good time in the bedroom. A good orgasm will make you forget all about that piece of chocolate cake in the kitchen.

Burns Calories

On average you can burn 1000 calories having an orgasm. Very few activities can burn that many calories in such a short time and be as enjoyable. All your muscles get exercise in sex it’s no wonder it burns so many calories. Plus some people can tend getting a little sweaty which is sign of good successful workout.

Helps with Pain

“Not tonight darling, I have a headache”. Why not try some sexual healing. Sexual stimulation releases endorphins which is also a natural pain reliever. Endorphins that are released during sex can raise your tolerance to pain by as much as 70%. Of course this varies by person. Endorphins are the body’s natural morphine which helps to relieve pain, so what are you waiting for?
