  1. 1. s*x is beneficial for both the heart and the blood circulation, especially in the brain. While having s*x, the heart rate goes from 70 beats per minute to 150, a good training for the heart. Having s*x thrice a week decreases the risk of heart attack by 50 %. Also during the s*x intercourses, the breath is deeper, meaning a better oxygenation.

    2. The mental and emotional health balance is clearly tuned by s*x. People who are involuntarily celibate or abstinent and often exhibit depressive feelings (like anger, frustration, self-doubt, paranoia and even depression) are driven into this by "missed opportunities", due to living without having s*x.

    In fact, in case of light depressions, after having s*x the brain releases endorphins, that decrease stress, inducing a state of euphoria.

    It seems also to be something in the sperm contributing to the good effect on the mood. Researches showed that women whose partners used condoms were more prone to depression than others. This is supposed to be linked to prostaglandin, a chemical found in the sperm and absorbed in the vaginal tract, modulating the woman's mood. s***n appears to act as an antidepressant in women.

    Women who have s*x without condoms are also more likely to be victims of the rebound effect following the breakup of their relationship, pointing that there is a withdrawal effect that influences depressiveness when s***n exposure stops.

    Anyway, protected or not, s*x and o****m do cause a release  of endorphins, the "happiness" brain hormone that ‘brings’ the good mood.

    Even more important is the fact that s*x strengthens the bound of the couple, self esteem, positive thinking and optimism.

    A 2007 British research proved that s*x is better than money in making you happy, and being sexually active indeed brings a happy life. But more financial power doesn't bring you more s*x.

    s*x "enters so strongly (and) positively in happiness equations" that a higher frequency of sexual contacts from once monthly to once weekly is similar to the happiness level increase brought by an additional $50,000 in income for the average American. The happiest individuals were those getting the most and regular s*x: married people, or those involved in a relationship, who declared 30% more sexual activity than bachelors. A stable marriage was figured out to bring the same happiness levels provoked by an extra $100,000 earning annually, while divorce was equivalent to a happiness decrease of $66,000 each year.

    Psychologists already knew that happy people are usually more sexually active, and many studies confirmed that people who are depressed have less s*x. It is sure that mind and s*x fuel each other.

    3. s*x eliminates stress. You know the feeling of total relaxation and calm following a sexual intercourse. A subsequent profound calming sleep follows, with great effect in combating the stress, and persons with a regular s*x life sleep better and feel better the next day.

    4. s*x means softer skin. While having s*x, a woman's body doubles the estrogen level, and this makes her hair shine while the skin becomes softer.

    5. Long term researches showed that regular basis s*x increases the humans’ lifespan. For the same age and health, those who had orgasms more frequently had half the death rate of men who did not have such frequent orgasms. This could be due to the plummeting stress hormones, reaction that installs after we have s*x. Frequent orgasms (about 100 per year) have been linked to an increase of 3-8 years in a person's lifespan and a decrease of death risk of 50%.

    6. Sweating while having s*x cleanse the skin pores, making the skin brighter and decreasing the risk of developing dermatitis.

    7. s*x can keep you fit, burning extra-pounds. Quickies of 20 minutes weekly mean 7 500 calories annually, that’s as much as you consume on 120 km (745 mi) of jogging. A s*x session can burn about 200 calories. This is like running 15 minutes on a treadmill!

    8. s*x strengthen muscles. So much pushes and flexions... It depends on your stunts in bed, of course, but it's clearly a lot more fun than running for miles. Bed fitness sessions clearly improve muscles of your pelvis, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, chest and arms.

    9. The more active your s*x life is, the more attractive for the opposite s*x you are. High sexual activity makes the body release more pheromones, chemicals that attract the opposite s*x, but also to display a security given by experience.

    10. s*x improves senses, at least the smell. Following the o****m, a rise of the hormone prolactin makes the brain's stem cells form new neurons in the olfactory bulb, boosting a person's olfactory abilities.

    11.s*x is also a pain reliever, ten times more effective than Valium: immediately before o****m, levels of the hormone oxytocin rise by five times, determining a huge release of endorphins. These chemicals calm pain, from a minor headache to arthritis or migraines, and with no secondary effects. Migraines also disappear because the pressure in the brain's blood vessels is lowered while we have s*x. So now we see that actually, a woman's headache is rather a good reason for having s*x, not against it.

    s*x also stimulates the release of estrogen, decreasing the PSM pains.

    12. Kissing stimulates salivation, which cleanses food left between the teeth and lowers the acidity in the mouth, the main cause of the tooth decay and bad breath.

    13. s*x fights off allergies. A good s*x session can be a good remedy against stiff nose, being a natural antihistaminic that helps combating asthma and high fever.

    14. Regular s*x balances the ratio good cholesterol: bad cholesterol.

    15. s*x balances s*x hormones: estrogen protects a woman's heart but on the long term, it can be efficient also against Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis while testosterone spurs the growth of the bones and muscles.

    16. The sexual activity means less colds, flu and infections. 1-2 intercourses weekly means 30 % higher levels of the antibody immunoglobulin A, that spurs the immune system.

    17. s*x means a better control of the bladder, as pelvis muscles controlling the urine flow are stronger.

    18. After o****m, especially in the evening, we get sleepy. s*x increases sleep quality. Following an o****m, the body of both males or females becomes completely relaxed, so they may have a good deep sleep.

    19. Most pregnant women stop having s*x a few weeks before giving birth, as there is a widespread idea that having s*x late in pregnancy could trigger labor. But studies shows this is not true. Prostaglandin is released in huge amounts by the woman’s body as it triggers labor. Also, o****m can induce uterine contractions. Still, there is no scientific proof that sexual intercourse close to the end of pregnancy starts the labor.

    20.s*x fights cancer! Various researches have shown that a high ejaculation frequency and sexual activity are linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer later in life. A study found out that men who ejaculated 13 to 20 times monthly presented a 14% lower risk of prostate cancer than men who ejaculated on average, between 4 and 7 times monthly for most of their adult life. Those ejaculating over 21 times a month presented a 33% decreased risk of developing prostate cancer than the baseline group.
