Fights prostate cancer
The prostate is a small gland that's important in the male reproductive system. It produces the alkaline components of semen, which help protect the sperm.
Recent research states that those men who ejaculate on a regular basis (five or more times a week) are less likely to develop prostate cancer.
The process of ejaculation, which involves the prostate, actually flushes away the products that can lead to cancer.
Improves heart health
No matter how much you concentrate on your diet, you're still at risk of a heart attack if you don't exercise.
Not adopting enough exercise in your weekly routine is the single worst risk factor for heart problems, yet the majority of adults don’t do enough.
We have already stated that sex is an exercise and the heart above most benefits when we exercise. Even older men who fear that sex can trigger a stroke or cardiac event should not worry as long as you take it slow. Regular sex (2 or 3 times a week) has shown to decrease the risk of a heart attack in older men.
Reduces pain
Having chronic pain (lasting a long time) can create problems with how you live your day-to-day life.
Common problems with long-term pain sufferers include depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances, which are all completely understandable if you feel like there will be no end to your pain.
Your partner can help you get your prescription of natures painkillers. If you suffer from joint pain, headache or premenstrual tension, sex can offer great pain relief.
The hormone oxytocin and endorphins are released and help combat pain by lowering your perception of the pain signals from your problem areas.
Helps you sleep better
The importance of sleep is greatly known, yet we still don’t know why. Currently there are four main theories why we slumber.
• Sleep is a time where the body's cells repair themselves after the day's activities.
• Sleep allows us to replenish the body's fuel – so when we run low our brain tells us to rest so we can refuel.
• During sleep, the brain does a little 'tidying up' looking through what you've learnt and perhaps deleting what you no longer need.
• Whilst we sleep the brain takes this time to replay and commit new memories, making sure you remember what you wish to keep.
After sex you're more relaxed and receptive to sleep. This is due to the cocktail of hormones that are rushing through your system after an orgasm. Oxytocin and endorphins released after sex are sleep promoters, which help you get a good night's sleep.
