An article written by Dr. Mercola on Sex and the benefits it has on your life he mentioned the top 11 health benefits:

  1. Improved Immunity - Studies done have proved that people who have sex frequently (1 or 2 times a week) have a better immune system as they have a higher IgA (immunoglobulin) count.
  2. Improved Heart Health- Men who have sex frequently (at least twice a week) are 45% less likely to develop a heart disease. This includes oral sex. (A great excuse to get more blowjobs)
  3. Lowers Blood Pressure

4.. It's A Form Of Exercise- Sex intensifies the heart rate, burns calories and strengthens muscles. studies shows that sex can burn up to 4 calories for men a 3 calories for woman a minute. It also assists with flexibility and balance. (great way to work off the box of chocolates your buying your significant other tonight. wink wink)
5.. Great Form Of Pain Relief- Sex releases pain-reducing hormones and can help reduce or block back or leg pain, as well as menstrual cramps, arthritis and headaches. (sorry ladies but it seems that next time the "I have a headache" excuse might not work)
6.. Reduces The Risk of Prostate Cancer- Studies show that men who ejaculate 21 times a month are at lower risk for prostate cancer.
7.. Improves Sleep- After sex two hormones Oxytocin and Prolactin are released. These help you relax and makes it possible for you to fall asleep quicker and easier.
8.. Stress Relief- Sex releases feel-good chemicals which ultimately makes you feel calmer and boosts self esteem.
9.. Boosts Libido- This one is for all the ladies out there... Basically the more you have sex, the more you want it because it increases blood flow, lubrication and ultimately makes sex more enjoyable.
10.. Improves Bladder Control- Ladies again this is for you. Although sex is not the only way to improve bladder control (I'm talking kegals), Its more fun. Sex strengthens the pelvic floor muscles which contract during orgasm.
11.. Increase intimacy and improves your relationship- sex releases Oxytocin "the love hormone" that keeps you and your partner bonded physically and emotionally.
