Did you know that having good sex with your partner can yield great health benefits?
Making love is not only good for your relationship, it also does wonders for your mind, body and soul. We asked the experts to explain the many benefits of having good sex.
IT MAKES YOU LOOK YOUNGER
Forget lasers and injectables – good sex is a fountain of youth. From a decade-long study, neuro psychologist Dr David Weeks found that older men and women who engaged in active, regular sex looked between five and seven years younger than those who had sex less often.
This is due to increased circulation as well as the body’s release of endorphins and DHEA, the human growth hormone which makes your skin more elastic.
IT REDUCES YOUR STRESS LEVELS
While you do build up tension during sex, experts point out that the release is better at calming you down than any drug available.
