No, the answer isn\u2019t in\n a magic pill \u2014 it\u2019s between your sheets. That\u2019s right: A little loving \ncan boost your overall health in many surprising ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere have been lots of studies describing the health benefits of sex,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/edhd\/facultystaff\/sandy-caron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sandra L. Caron, PhD<\/a>,  sex therapist and professor of family relations and human sexuality at  the University of Maine\u2019s College of Education and Human Development  inOrono. \u201cMost of them relate to achieving orgasm. Nobody says you have  to be with someone to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s\n an intriguing sex tip for people who do not have a committed partner: \nSelf-pleasuring can offer sex benefits, especially those specifically \nrelated to having a good orgasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So whether you\u2019re coupled up or flying solo, check out this list of healthy side effects of regular sex:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Improved Heart Health \u2014 Yes, Sex Is Exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like any physical activity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/sexual-health\/basics.aspx\">healthy sex<\/a> is good for your heart. A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2824175\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study published in January 2015 in the <em>American Journal of Cardiology<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;found that men who had sex twice weekly or more had less risk of cardiovascular diseases, like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/stroke\/guide\/\">stroke<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5052677\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">heart attack<\/a>,&nbsp;than those who had sex once a month or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for those who worry that the exertion involved in sex is a threat to the heart, the <a href=\"http:\/\/circ.ahajournals.org\/content\/circulationaha\/early\/2012\/01\/19\/CIR.0b013e3182447787.full.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Heart Association&#8217;s Scientific Statement on Sexual Activity and Cardiovascular Disease<\/a>&nbsp;says\n that having sex is safe for people who can exercise with no heart \nproblems in the range of 3 to 5&nbsp;metabolic equivalents (METs). METs&nbsp;are a\n measure of the energy (calories) expended during an activity. \nExercising at 3&nbsp;METs&nbsp;is about the same as walking at a moderate pace, \nwhile 5&nbsp;METs&nbsp;is like a low impact aerobic workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having sex can actually be considered a rather good form of exercise: A small&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0079342\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study published in October 2013 in the journal&nbsp;<em>PLoS&nbsp;One<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;showed\n that men burned an average of 4 calories a minutes during sex sessions \nthat averaged 25 minutes, and women burned off 3 calories.&nbsp;That&#8217;s a lot \nmore fun than toiling away on a treadmill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Sweet Pain Relief, Even&nbsp;From Menstrual Cramps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just looking at your partner \u2014 or even a photo of your partner \u2014 can help ease pain. In another&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0013309\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study&nbsp;published in&nbsp;<em>PLoS&nbsp;One<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;that\n was performed at Stanford University in California, anesthesiologists \nshowed participants photos of their romantic partners or photos of \nattractive strangers, or asked them to engage in a word game. They found\n that looking at romantic partners significantly dulled the experience \nof pain. So even though you might think pain is a barrier to sex, \nconsider this a sex benefit worth the time and effort: Take a moment to \nreally look at your lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other studies have found that women may get some relief from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/menstrual-cramps\/guide\/\">menstrual cramps<\/a> through a good orgasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Less Stress and Lower Blood Pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sex\n can help relieve stress by raising endorphins and other hormones that \nboost mood. As a form of exercise, it can also help calm you down. In \naddition, a Scottish&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/15961213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study published in the journal&nbsp;<em>Biological <\/em><em>Psychology<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;found\n that sexual activity prevents increases in blood pressure during \nstressful events. While this effect was more pronounced in people who \nhad sex with penetration, nonpenetrative sex and masturbation can also \nhelp you stay serene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Possible Reduction of Prostate Cancer Risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeanurology.com\/article\/S0302-2838%2816%2900377-8\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study published in December 2016 in the journal <em>European Urology<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;found\n that men who who ejaculate more than 21 times per month, compared with \nthose who do so four to seven times times per month, were 20 percent \nless likely to develop prostate cancer. While more research is needed to\n confirm this link, it appears that men who ejaculate regularly may \nreduce their risk of prostate cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Better Sleep With a Bonus: Increased Sexual Desire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/sleep.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Sleep Foundation<\/a>,\n orgasms release the hormone prolactin, which can help you feel sleepy \nand relaxed. So don\u2019t be too surprised if you and your partner doze off \nshortly after a satisfying session \u2014 and wake up feeling refreshed. This\n sleep connection also works in reverse: According to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/25772315\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study&nbsp;published in May 2015 in the<em> Journal of Sexual Medicine<\/em><\/a>,\n getting enough shut-eye can improve your sexual response and may \nincrease the chance that you&#8217;ll engage regularly in sex. Researchers \ndiscovered that when women slept for longer periods of time, they \nreported&nbsp;greater sexual desire the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Happier Mood and a Stronger Relationship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s\n no wonder you\u2019ve got a more positive outlook after sex: There are \nbiochemical rationales for experiencing improved mood as a sex benefit, \nfrom the neurotransmitters that may be released during healthy sex to \nthe mood enhancers contained in semen itself. \u201cAnd,\u201d adds Dr. Caron, \n\u201cthere\u2019s a lot to be said simply for the mood-boosting effect of having a\n nice connection with somebody that you trust and care about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus,\n your frisky play may result in a serious afterglow than can, in turn, \nhelp you bond better with your partner, according to a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0956797617691361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report published in March 2017 in the journal<em> Psychological Science<\/em><\/a>.\n In this study, which examined newlywed couples who kept a two-week \nsexual diary, researchers found that partners were satisfied for a full \n48 hours after sexual activity. And those who were lucky enough to \nexperience this afterglow went on to report more happiness in their \nrelationship several months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Glowing, Younger-Looking Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\n fabled &#8220;morning after&#8221; glow? It\u2019s not just your imagination; you really\n do look better after having sex. \u201cSex even helps you look younger,\u201d \nsays Caron. That glow can be attributed to a combination of stress \nrelief, better mood, and the flush of blood under your skin that\u2019s a \nnatural part of the arousal process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoying a healthy sex life  is one of the great joys in life. Knowing intimacy could be a boon for  your long-term health as well make it that much more pleasurable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/sexual-health\/seven-healthy-reasons-to-have-sex-right-now.aspx\">everydayhealth.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Want to clear your complexion, boost your mood, and cut your risk of cancer, heart disease, and other health hazards?
