The Many Amazing Benefits of Sex

We all love sex. Whether we’re having it, talking about it, reading about it, watching it, we love it all. But did you know there are even more benefits to doing the dirty than simply feeling warm and fuzzy all over?

From feeling better to looking better, here are the biggest benefits to getting frisky:

Sex is Almost as Good as a Gym: We all know you can burn calories from having sex – about 86 calories in a half hour! So let’s do a little math: That’s 172 in one hour. Then if you do the nasty 5 days a week for an hour, that’s 860 calories burned. Sounds way better than a half hour on the treadmill to me.

Sex Keeps you Young: Apparently, having an active sex life reduces the process of aging. Your big O (and all the hormones that come with it) boosts collagen production which aids in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and age spots.

Sex is Cheaper than Proactive: Having sex regularly reduces your hormones levels and balances them out, thus clearing up your skin without wasting time and money on all those washes, toners and zit creams.

Sex Prevents Dry Skin: This time of year always brings out the worst scaly, dry, itchy skin that even a daily moisturizer can’t touch. But sex can! A roll in the hay increases blood circulation, making it more efficient. The more efficient your blood is circulating, the more moisture your skin has. Not sure how or why, but it’s true: sex will keep your skin glowing and looking fresh.

Sex Relieves Stress: So remember last semester (or even last week) when you were struggling to breathe with the amount of work being thrown on you? Yeah, a quick romp sesh would’ve helped you out. Orgasms release endorphins, endorphins make you feel good and relieve your stress. Something to think about as finals creep up once again.

God, I love sex even more than I did before. And I definitely didn’t think that was possible.
