Improves self-esteem
Having self-esteem is important for not only yourself but for those around you.
How you feel about yourself in the world dictates how you interact with it; and so can be a deciding factor on how you live your life both socially and at work.
Having the kind of sex you want when you want it can make you happier within your own skin. Being with someone who loves you for who you are and gives you what you need, can be a great confidence booster just for you.
Reduces stress
Long-term (chronic) exposure to stress can cause a whole series of actual physical problems to your body.
Raised blood pressure, lowered immune response and an increased susceptibility to anxiety and depression can be caused by increased stress levels. So it is important to keep your stress levels in check.
The actual act of sex and the cuddles after can decrease your blood pressure and make you more able to face some of the problems contributing to your stress.
Sex is also a great communicator and allows both you and your partner to express how you feel about each other.
Burns calories
If you're overweight, you are more likely to be diagnosed with a health problem.
If you’re not sure about your current weight, check out our BMI calculator and if you need to lose weight we have a weight loss plan that can help.
We are all guilty at looking towards new and 'trendy' routines to help us lose weight. However, the answer can be right on your doorstep, or your bedroom, or your front room – wherever takes your fancy!
Remember, sex counts as exercise and can burn up to 90 calories for every half an hour.
Strengthens relationships
Considerable research indicates that being in a positive relationship can improve your overall health and wellbeing. Happily married couples are less likely to develop health complications, such as cancer and heart failure , and so on average live longer.
Your body experiences a whole roller coaster of hormones when you have sex and during the pillow talk after.
The most important hormone is oxytocin, which is appropriately labelled the 'love hormone'. This particular hormone is important for the need to bond and nurture and is released when you are cuddled and have contact with your partner.
