Lovemaking is no longer about mere procreation. In generations past, lovemaking act was a “necessary evil” to have children.
Women were raised with the idea that making love was a duty they had to perform to keep their husbands happy. Many young ladies got married with no understanding of what awaited them. The sexual liberation of women meant that, for the first time, they began to consider it as a pleasurable experience.
from this act was not reserved for men alone. Making Love was meant to be mutually pleasurable. Women were able to express their physical needs and desires.
1. It’s great exercise
Forget going to the gym or walking the long road to nowhere on your treadmill. Take advantage of your partner’s readiness and willingness to make love as a great workout opportunity.
Lovemaking burns a significant number of calories. In men, it burns 100 calories. In women, it burns 69 (no kidding). It’s the equivalent of a 10-minute sustained jog. This is based on a 30-minute vigorous lovemaking session.
Surely not all physical encounters are the same. Those of you who are prepared to try some of the more challenging positions from the Kama Sutra will burn quite a few more calories. You’ll be toning some hard-to-reach muscles as well! Many couples report that a lovemaking session lasts longer than 30 minutes (as well it should)
2. Lovemaking is good for a woman’s heart
A study indicates that women who enjoy a couple of lovemaking sessions each week stand a smaller chance of developing heart disease. That’s in comparison with their counterparts who indulge in the physical act only once a month. While men didn’t form part of this study, it’s easy to predict that the results would be the same.
No one is quite sure why this is the case. We do know that raising one’s heart rate is good exercise for the heart. The heart is a powerful muscle that needs strength to pump blood through the body.
It’s likely the biweekly workout is just what the heart needs to keep it in top form. Once a month, it would appear, isn’t enough to make your heart stronger. A stronger heart works better and lasts longer. Such a heart is less prone to deterioration and disease.
If you’ve been looking for a good reason to get intimate with your partner more regularly, do it for your heart. After all, you don’t want to have a heart attack, do you?
3. Not tonight, I have a headache
There are dozens among us who have used this well-worn excuse when we’re not up for a session between the sheets. A headache is a great excuse to get out of having love making if you’re not in the mood.
Well, you can lay that excuse to bed (literally) because it just isn’t true. Studies demonstrate that lovemaking can relieve the pain caused by migraines and cluster headaches.
Get ready for some astounding statistics. 70% of migraine sufferers reported moderate to complete relief after engaging in sexual activities. 91% of cluster headache sufferers reported the same result. 60% of respondents said there was an improvement in pain levels for migraine attacks. 37% of cluster headache respondents said the same.
The improvements they report when taking painkillers aren’t nearly the same. It’s time to accept that a headache isn’t a reason not to have intercourse. It is a reason to let loose and get into the groove. Not only will you feel amazing afterward, but your headache will be history too.
4. Lovemaking relieves stress
We are bombarded by sources of stress all day long. Stressors from work follow us home. Stressors from home follow us to work. There seems to be nowhere on the planet we can go to get away from stress.
Or is there? The answer to your need to temporarily escape all the stress in your life is not too far away. It’s a simple walk down the hallway to your bedroom, or anywhere else the mood takes you.
When your body is stressed, the adrenal glands release a hormone called cortisol. This is the so-called “stress hormone.” It stimulates our fight, flight or fright responses. Continuous stress means your adrenal glands are always at work.
The body is designed to absorb doses of cortisol for brief periods of time. Prolonged exposure to cortisol isn’t what your body was designed for. So many hormones are at work (and play) in your body during the act. Cortisol is not one of them. Let the other hormones take over and give your body’s cortisol production a break!
5. Frequent Intercourse results in longevity
Longevity has nothing to do with the length of anything in the bedroom! It has to do with how long you live. Our bodies have a lifespan. Stress, poor diet and lack of exercise affect the lifespan of our organs.
This brings D-Day a little closer. D-Day is the time when our organs will cease to function, and we die. Regular physical involvement with your partner is a good exercise for the body. It also reduces stress. Both of these factors indicate that your life gets prolonged.
In a study conducted with a follow-up after ten years, the sexual habits and lifespans of men were studied. It was found that men who had frequent orgasms had a 50% lower mortality risk than those who did not.
Gentleman, this means that your very existence is reliant on frequent orgasms! And frequent means twice a week. The next time your partner is giving you the brush-off, all you need to do is remind them that your life depends on it!
6. Intercourse sharpens your mind
That’s right; making love with your partner is a physical and emotional experience. It’s a mental one, too. Making love regularly sharpens the mind and keeps the brain fit. A recent study showed that people over the age of 50 who have indulge in regular love making act could recall numbers and basic mathematics better than those who didn’t. There was an improvement in both men and women.
On the whole, however, men showed the most significant improvement. The reason for this is that love making gets linked to the production of new brain cells. As we approach the autumn years of our lives, we need all the brain cells we can get to help us remember everything!
Brain exercises like crossword puzzles and Sudoku are good for you. They stimulate your mind and challenge the brain. They’re nowhere near as much fun as a stint between the sheets, though.
Perhaps it’s the reason so many people survive their crazy partying 20s. They have enough regular intercourse to produce brain cells to replace those they killed by drinking too much!
7. Love making makes you happy
It’s true that making love with your partner makes you happy at that moment. Studies suggest, however, that your happiness can be more long-term if you have it regularly.
They warn that this increased happiness relates only to people in committed relationships. It doesn’t apply to those who embark on one-night stands or even friends with benefits. The emotional connection between two people in a relationship is augmented by making love. It is this factor that brings on their happiness.
Exercise in general releases endorphins and “feel-good” hormones into your body from the brain. The most common one is serotonin. It’s what makes you feel exhilarated after exercise or lovemaking.
You feel like you have a bit of a buzz and then a great sense of satisfaction with the world around you. It puts a smile on your face and gives you a sense of well-being. That feeling is one you tend to enjoy and want to feel again and again. Mmmm … how to achieve that? A-ha, regular love making is the answer!
8. Lovemaking strengthens a relationship bond
The physical act of love releases a hormone called oxytocin into the body. This hormone is what makes us feel close and bonded to another human being. It stimulates affection and a willingness to be intimate.
In a deeply committed relationship, lovemaking becomes less about the physical connection and more about the emotional bonding. The bond you have with a friend is not the same as the bond you have with your partner.
You may enjoy yourself and have fun with your friends, but this doesn’t release that particular hormone. That hormone comes from engaging in the most physically intimate act of all: lovemaking. Couples who don’t have regular physical act complain that their partner is more like a friend.
They think it’s the passing of time that wears away at intimacy.It’s not the passing of time. It’s the wasting away of their physical life. A lot of marriages and relationships break down because of intercourse or lack thereof. It’s not the act itself that’s the problem. It’s the loss of intimacy not having it causes.
