Now to the Bedroom- the Benefits- Part 2

The Benefits are amazing. When singers sing about lovers living longer, they never lied.
According to the Journal of American Medical Association there are several benefits to consistent sexual activity.
  1. It relieves stress.
  2. Having sex once or twice a week lowers your blood pressure and creates higher levels of an antibody called Immunoglobin A (prevents colds and other infections)
  3. Thirty minutes of sex burns 85 calories or more (That totals 3, 570 calories in 42 sessions)
  4. Improves your cardiovascular health and boosts self esteem
  5. Achieving orgasms increase levels of oxytocin (love hormone) and helps build bond and trust
  6. Sex reduces pain
  7. Increases endorphins that alleviate headaches, arthritis pain, and PMS symptoms
  8. Frequent ejaculations or sexual activity can reduce one's risk for prostrate cancer
  9. Helps you sleep better and maintain a healthy weight

Sex also strengthens Pelvic floor muscles in women. If you perform Kegels during sex and leisure it will increase pleasure and decrease possible incontinence later in life. Kegels can be performed by imitating the squeezing that occurs when you are trying very hard not to urinate. If you do this several times a day it can strengthen those muscles. When you are really strong, you can squeeze and lengthen the time needed for your partner to ejaculate. A gentle squeeze right when ejaculation is about to occur will cause you both to experience heightened orgasmic sensations.
