The Blessings of Sex

Its pretty obvious that when people have sex, its being done to achieve a climax or a state higher than they were before they started. Most would not realize that having sex has many advantages, on top of the good ole Mr. Pleasure. Quick fact to begin with that most people would not think of; More sex means living longer.

A typical male or female that has 350 orgasms a year , lives four years longer. Also on top of living four years longer, they will feel eight years younger. With a simple conclusion sex definitely extends the lifespan. Recent Duke study also concluded that a frequency of intercourse was a significant predictor to longetivity.

There would most likely be questions as to why sexual intercourse actually increases your lifespan. One huge factor is the hormones that flood the blood before ejaculation. A hormone that floods the blood stream is oxytocin. Oxytocin relieves a few things but the most important is stress. To much stress on the body can bring about depression which all together can reduce your lifespan.

This issue being directed to males and females, we all must understand that even though it is said that sex has benefits, we still have to think about things that would be disadvantages. A number one disadvantage would be disease. Disease not only can reduce your lifespan, but it can be fatal. You must first trust your partner, and if you do not trust them wear a condom or refrain from sexual intercourse.

Moreover if your in a relationship where trust is present, then the next move is living longer. More sex each week means a longer life, and a release of stress. Remember that oxytocin is a huge factor to making your life better longer and relaxing.
