Hey ladies, did you know that getting intimate with your partner isn't just about pleasure? That's right, it can also bring a ton of health benefits! Let's dive into the top 10 benefits of sex that you might not have known about.

 

1. Boosts Your Immune System
   According to sex expert Professor Yvonne K. Fullbright, sexually active individuals are less likely to get sick. Plus, researchers from the Wilkes University of Pennsylvania found that having sex at least once or twice a week can help your body build up immunity to viruses and bacteria. So, why not get busy and give your immune system a boost?
   
   
2. Increases Your Sexual Desire
   Feeling a little less frisky than usual? Well, sex can actually help with that too! Assistant Professor Lauren Streicher from Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University of Chicago explains that sex can increase vaginal lubrication, blood flow, and skin elasticity, leading to an overall increase in sex drive.
   
   
3. Improves Bladder Control
   Urinary incontinence affects about 30% of women, but strengthening your pelvic muscles can help prevent it. And guess what? Sex is actually a great way to work out those muscles! During orgasm, the pelvic muscles contract and get a workout, which can help prevent urinary incontinence.
   
   
4. Lowers Blood Pressure
   If you're looking for a way to lower your blood pressure, you might want to try having sex with a partner instead of just masturbating. Research has shown that sexual intercourse with a partner can lower blood pressure more effectively.
   
   
5. Fun and Effective Exercise
   Who needs a boring workout routine when you can burn calories and have fun at the same time? That's right, sex is actually a great exercise that can help you burn more calories than watching TV. Plus, it gets your heart rate up and works out various muscles in your body.
   
   
6. Reduces the Risk of Heart Failure
   Not only does sex increase your heart rate, but it also helps maintain your estrogen and testosterone levels, which can reduce your risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. In fact, one study showed that men who had sex at least twice a week had a lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who rarely had sex.
   
   
7. Eases Pain
   Next time you're feeling some pain, you might want to try for an orgasm instead of reaching for the painkillers. Research has shown that orgasm can block pain by releasing hormones that increase our pain threshold. Plus, vaginal stimulation can actually help reduce waist and leg pain, and many women experience reduced menstrual pain, arthralgia, and headache after genital stimulation.
   
   
8. Reduces the Risk of Prostate Cancer
   Men, listen up! Studies have shown that ejaculating frequently (approximately 21 times a month) can lower your risk of prostate cancer. Of course, there are other factors at play, but sex can definitely help manage pain and reduce your risk.
   
   
9. Improves Sleep Quality
   Having trouble sleeping? Sex can actually help with that too! After orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released, which promotes relaxation and drowsiness. So, if you suffer from insomnia or other sleep disorders, getting intimate with your partner might just do the trick.
   
   
10. Relieves Stress
    Last but not least, sex is a great stress reliever! Physical intimacy with your partner can help ease tension and release hormones that make you feel good. Plus, the increase in intimacy can boost your self-esteem and overall happiness.
