Can a harmonious sex life actually bring these health benefits?

A harmonious sex life between couples is not only conducive to the cultivation and warming of their relationship, but also has many benefits to the body!

1. Exercise

Research from the Pennsylvania Medical School believes that sex is equivalent to jogging. If you have sex three times a week, it is equivalent to jogging 75 kilometers in a year, and the heat energy burned is 7,500 calories. Regular sex can promote metabolism. Some people say that making love is exercise in bed. During sex, the breathing is deepened unconsciously, thereby increasing the amount of oxygen obtained by the cells and promoting the functions of various organs and tissues in the body. This seems to have some basis.

2. Increase hormone secretion

Men secrete a hormone called deoxyandrostenone every day, and they also need to supplement this type of androgen regularly, because only in this way can they maintain their male characteristics. During sex, especially before orgasm and ejaculation, the body can naturally release 3-5 times more of this hormone than usual. Therefore, in the West, many men do not take medication to supplement hormones, but hope that the body can naturally release such masculine hormones. For women, estrogen can help them maintain good blood circulation. Women who have regular sex lives have much higher estrogen levels than those who have sex occasionally.

3. Protect the prostate

Regular ejaculation in mature men can help clear the prostatic fluid that accumulates in the prostate. Every time you ejaculate, 1/5 is sperm and 4/5 is semen, which includes a large amount of prostatic fluid. If you don't ejaculate for a long time, old prostatic fluid will accumulate in the prostate. However, it should be noted that sexual life should not be excessive, because frequent sexual life will cause the penis to be in a state of chronic congestion, leading to prostate hypertrophy or swelling, which makes it easy to suffer from chronic prostatitis.

4. Effectively reduce the occurrence of heart disease and myocardial infarction

Sexual life can make the pelvis, limbs, joints, muscles, and spine more active, promote blood circulation, and enhance heart function and lung capacity. People who have a harmonious sex life have at least 10% lower risk of heart disease than those who have an unhappy sex life. However, there have been reports of some people dying suddenly during sexual intercourse due to sudden myocardial infarction, so if you have signs of heart disease, you should avoid overly strenuous sex.
