4. Sex helps fight depression.
Women who have regular orgasms are generally more relaxed, less depressed, and physically and emotionally more satisfied.
Sex also helps you fall asleep better and releases nervous tension by producing serotonin in the brain – which controls mood and is also found in antidepressants.
5. Sex keeps you young.
Sex is said to be one of the essential components to looking about ten years younger!
A psychologist compiled the lifestyles of around 3,500 people, aged 18 to 102.
The people interviewed had at least three sexual relations a week and they all had the particularity of appearing several years younger than their marital status announced.
These beneficial effects have been confirmed by numerous other studies.
6. Sex protects against incontinence
In women, regular sex promotes a healthy pelvic floor and thus reduces the risk of age-related incontinence.

Making love is a joy in life.
A pleasure that we give ourselves, that we offer, that we share.
Making love is a healthy need of the body and the mind that fills us with energy, tenderness and life.

Lack of sleep has a negative impact on our daily lives.
To fight insomnia, experts recommend, among other things, stopping alcohol and caffeine, watching TV less often and taking a bath before bed.
Making love can be added to this list of tips for sleeping well.
Men fall asleep almost instantly afterwards, and the toxins released during intercourse have a tranquilizing effect on women.
10. Sex protects against skin diseases.
Having sex regularly therefore releases a plethora of hormones in the body, called “the hormones of happiness”.
And they contain testosterone.
With age, the level of testosterone decreases.
Thus, many sexual intercourse ensures a good level of testosterone in the body.

it keeps bones and muscles healthy, not to mention the youthful appearance of the skin.
11. Sex protects against breast cancer.
Orgasm is said to prevent the onset of breast cancer.
An Australian study suggests that stimulating the breasts in women releases a hormone called oxytocin.
The study specifies that oxytocin is released in large quantities at the time of orgasm, and therefore sexual activity may have a protective role against this type of cancer.
12. Sex protects against cardiovascular disease.
Sex is good for your heart.
A study from Queen’s University Belfast shows that having sex three times a week halves the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
In women, sex increases the production of estrogen, which is known to fight heart disease.
And there’s good news for your man, too:
Another study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health claims that having sex twice or more a week reduces the risk of a fatal heart attack, by 50% more, compared to men who only have sex once a month.
13. Sex boosts self-esteem.

Having sex at least twice or thrice in a week, researchers say, increases the production of antibodies (immunoglobulins A) that protect us from viral infections like the flu.
Sex is also a natural antihistamine: it fights asthma and hay fever.
16. Sex makes you live longer.
Sex doesn’t just make you feel younger – research shows that it can actually slow down the aging process.
When you reach orgasm, the body secretes DHEA (dehydro-epiandrosterone or prasterone), a hormone known to improve immune system health, repairing tissue that helps keep skin youthful.
DHEA also promotes the production of other hormones such as estrogen, which can extend life by improving cardiovascular health.
So it’s proven, sex is rejuvenating!
A 1981 study showed that the death rate among those over the age of seventy was lower among men who still had sexual activity.
17. Sex tones your pelvis.
Kegel exercises, by Dr. Kegel, consist of the contraction and then relaxation of the muscles of the pelvis.

Fortunately, there is another way to strengthen these muscles, indeed, without realizing it, by having sex you tone your pelvis.
And the firmer the muscles, the better the pleasure.

And the impact appears to be strongest among highly educated individuals.
