FOR LADIES ONLY: Top 9 Unusual Reasons Why Sex is Good for You




This article is for ladies only, especially the married ones, So girls and guys dear, get busy with other posts in this blog. Thank you...Good, now that we have gotten rid of  the 'poke-nosers', leggo!
These top 9 healthy benefits of good sex for ladies are backed up by experts. Research from around the world shows that the benefits of sex for couples extend well beyond the bedroom and should be embraced with gusto:

 1: Sex calms headache and other pains - No reason now to say, "Not tonight darling, I'm having a headache." A woman's headache is actually a good reason for having sex not an excuse. Sex is ten times more effective than typical painkillers. Studies show that vaginal stimulation results in increased pain tolerance, and pleasurable self-stimulation of the clitoris also has an analgesic effect. Re­searchers report that this type of stimulation eases pains. Levels of the hormone, Oxytocin, rise by five times immediately before orgasm determining a huge release of your body’s painkillers called endorphins. These chemicals ease the pain of menstrual cramps, arthritis, migraines and other conditions with no secondary effects. Migraines also disappear because the pressure in the brain's blood vessels is lowered during sex. In one study, 48 people inhaled oxytocin vapor and then had their fingers pricked. The oxytocin cut their pain threshold by more than half.

2: Sex boosts immunity:  The sexual activity lowers the risk of getting colds and the flu. 1-2 intercourses weekly means 30 % higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A, or IgA, that spurs the immune system and protects you from getting colds and other infections.  A good sex session can also be a good remedy against stiff nose, reputedly a natural antihistamine that helps combat asthma and hay fever symptoms.

3: Sex helps your body fight diseases: The hormone, estrogen, released during sex helps protects a woman's heart, helps blood circulation and on the long term, it can be efficient also against Alzheimer's disease.  Sex is not beneficial only for the heart, but also for the blood circulation, especially in the brain, because of the increased heart rate and deep breathing.

4: Sex aids quality sleep: The oxytocin released during orgasm helps you catch more z’s, research shows. Following an orgasm, the body becomes completely relaxed, so you feel sleepy and have a good deep sleep. This is the effect of some good sex: it increases sleep quality. Getting enough sleep has also been linked with a host of other health benefits, such as a healthy weight and better blood pressure. That's something to think about, especially if you've been wondering why your husband can be active one minute and snoring the next.

5: Sex sharpens the sense of smell:  Following the orgasm, a rise of the hormone prolactin makes the brain's cells form new neurons in the olfactory bulb, boosting a person's olfactory abilities. 

6: Sex boosts self esteem and can be a beauty treatment: The more active your sex life is, the more attractive you will be to your husband.  High sexual activity makes the body release more pheromones, chemicals that attract the opposite sex. While having sex, a woman's body doubles the estrogen level, and this makes her hair shine and the skin becomes softer.

7: Sex balances cholesterol level and burns calories: Having sex regularly drops the cholesterol level, balancing the ratio good cholesterol: bad cholesterol. Sex is a great mode of exercise. You also burn all that fat and carbohydrates from the romantic dinner and also burn off the calories from that extra glass of wine at dinner (which may have been what put you in the mood in the first place!). Quickies of 20 minutes weekly burns 7500 calories annually, that's as much as you burn on 120 km (745 mi) of jogging. Thirty minutes of sex burns 85 calories or more. It may not sound like much, but it adds up: 42 half-hour sessions will burn 3,570 calories, more than enough to lose a pound. Doubling up, you could drop that pound in 21 hour-long sessions. A sex session can burn about 200 calories. This is like running 15 minutes on a treadmill! Talk about sex versus the gym!

8: Sex cleanses the skin:  Sweating while having sex cleanse the skin pores, making the skin brighter and decreasing the risk of developing dermatitis.

9: Sex counters depression, anxiety, paranoia, lowers blood pressure, and increases lifespan: Our mental and emotional health balance is clearly influenced by sex. Abstinence is known to cause from anxiety to paranoia and depression. In case of light depressions, after having sex, the brain releases endorphins that decrease stress, inducing a state of euphoria. A Scottish study found that diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number of your blood pressure) tends to be lower in married women who have sex often. Another study in a University in Belfast, Ireland, showed that sex on a regular basis increases the humans' lifespan. For the same age and health, those who had orgasms more frequently had half the death rate of those who did not have such frequent orgasms.  

 
The reasons above are by no  means exhaustive. Scientists show that sex is extremely beneficial for health, while the lack of an active sex life might have negative effects. And dear guys, if in spite of my earlier warning  you went ahead to read this, just remember, too much sex can also be harmful: more than thrice a week and it can weaken the immune system, making you vulnerable to infections.

    1. Thank you Jeff. Most women really are guilty of this and it has led to many divorces that could have been avoided if, maybe, they were informed. Sex is a vital part of marriage and I hope we can spread the word to help others at the verge of breakup due to lack of intimacy and sex. Imagine headache as an excuse for not having sex when it really is a remedy! information is priceless.

    1. Thank you for your comment, Monica. And yes, most women that used sex as a tool to capture the hearts of their would-be husbands are still the same ones that will use it as a tool to destroy the marriage they wanted so badly. Talk about irony!
