16 Reasons To Have Daily Sex

16 Reasons To Have Daily Sex

THE MIND UNLEASHED

Stressed, burdened with life’s difficult problems and fear that your health is declining? Then sex is the answer to happiness, longevity and a healthy body. You don’t agree?

1. De-stress
Sex helps you reduce stress. When deep breathing exercises fail to de-stress you, sex will do the needful.

During sex your body produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka “happiness hormones” and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.

In a study, published in the Public Library of Science journal, three neuroscience researchers conducted a test on male rats and found that the sexually active rats were less anxious than rats with no sexual activity.

2. Great Form of Exercise
Making love is a form of physical activity. During intercourse, the physiological changes in your body are consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the respiratory rate rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex three times a week for 15 minutes (but we know you can do better than that) you’ll burn about 7.500 calories in a year. That’s the equivalent of jogging 75 miles! Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.

3. Lowers high blood pressure
Hugs and sex can improve your blood pressure. Sex reduces diastolic blood pressure, that is, the bottom number while reading blood pressure.

Researchers with the University of Paisley conducted an experiment on the same. They concluded that sex improves blood pressure.

4. Builds your immunity
Trying to fight the sniffles? Sex is the answer to fight cold and other health problems; sex can boost your immunity.

Immunoglobulin A, an antigen that fights the flu increases when the frequency of sex increases.

5. Makes You Look Younger
Making love three times a week can make you look 10 years younger, claims a Scottish researcher. “It’s good for you to have good sex,” says David Weeks, a clinical neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, whose study on the effects of sex on aging appears in his book, Secrets of the Superyoung.

6. Healthy heart
Sex helps you burn calories but it can also improve your heart. Sex will take care of stroke and heart attacks, you just have to enjoy the moment.

Scientists with New England Research Institute examined the effect of sex on the heart. The study concluded that men are 45 percent less likely to experience cardiovascular diseases. But the study fails to study the effect of sex on a woman’s heart.

7. Pain relief
Pleasure is the measure to beat out the pain. Do you experience migraines and body pain? Well sex is the answer. But if you experience back pain, it is best to consult a doctor.

Dr. George E. Erlich, an arthritis specialist from Philadelphia conducted a study on the link between arthritis and sex. He narrows down that patients who engaged in sex experienced less pain.

8. Builds trust and intimacy
The act of sex spikes the hormone oxytocin; this hormone is responsible for your happiness and love. If your feel your relationship is falling out, there is trust or you’re worried that your partner will stray away, then sex will dispel these doubts. The hormone oxytocin builds trust and brings couples closer, and cupid too.

9. Less chances of cancer
Regular ejaculation reduces your chances of developing prostate cancer. In an Australian study men who ejaculated 21 times a month were least likely to develop cancer. It is further supported by other researches that sexual intercourse reduces the risk of prostrate cancer.

10. Stronger pelvic muscles
Sex involves the use of several muscles; hence regular sexual intercourse can help you develop stronger pelvic muscles. Further, since the act of sex involves a range of muscles, it also helps strengthen these muscles – for ex: quads, your core, and the upper back. Through regular sex, you can also maintain a strong bladder and bowel function.

Strong muscles, calorie burner, improves heart health – sex seems to take care of you.

11. Prostate Protection 
Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular ejaculation will wash those fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age. Problems may also occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.

12. Induces sleep
After that great, lovely workout you are bound to get good sleep. But guess what? Sex works the same way as exercise. The increased heart rate leads to increased post-coital relaxation. Sex could be the next thing for insomniacs! So what really happens:
- Sex can relax you, hence if you are already tired, the act of sex will induce sleep.
- When men ejaculate they become lethargic, this can make them sleepy.

13. Regular periods
Apparently sex can improve your menstrual cycle. Sex regulates hormones, which in turn regulate the menstrual cycle. Sex reduces stress, which is one of the reasons women miss their periods. Sex seems like a better option than pills.

14. Prevents Erectile Dysfunctions
Fifty per cent of men older than 40 suffer from erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they won’t be able to get it up any more. The best medicine against impotence is…sex. An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile arteries, so the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic reflex: the more you train the more capable you are to perform.

15. Live longer
A healthy heart, stronger muscles, increased circulation of oxygen and happiness are some of the factors that add life to the years and as a result – years to your life.

A study published in the British Medical Journal reveals that men who engaged in sex often live twice as those who rarely had any action.

16. Healthier semen
If you’re trying to conceive, you increase the volume of semen if you have sex regularly. Regular sex replaces old sperms from the testicles. If there is a natural build of sperms it can lead to DNA damage.

8 Things women just don't do anymore (that they should!)

There was a time when a women was a time when a woman's greatest duty and achievement was taking care of her man. The women of the 2003 movieMona Lisa Smile were a great example of what women were essentially bred to do. They went to college, but they didn't really plan on using their degrees (or even graduating in some cases). The plan was to get married as soon as possible and put those Home Ec skills to good use!

But today's breed of women is certainly a different one. Many historical events have lead to the evolution of the female role and Suzy Homemaker is now Ms. Independent. But just because certain "old-fashioned" ways have been phased out, doesn't mean they should be completely retired. You can still have your career and your own mind and what not, but maybe there are a few things that women just don't do anymore, that they should!

Cook

Some women these days don't cook! Back in the day, every woman had to take home economics. It was mandatory. It pretty much taught you how to be a wife. You learned how to cook, clean, sew, polish silver, host a dinner party, and help your man get a promotion! Nowadays, women only know how to cook if someone took the time to teach them how to cook. But if you're 20-something (or older) and still don't know how to cook, you better get started on some Pinterest meals! Start with the easy stuff and work your way up. You at least need to know how to make two or three meals for your man that he will love. 

Clean

Some people are slobs and some are neat freaks and some are somewhere in between. But a lot of women don't really know how to "keep house". A lot of people nowadays didn't even have chores growing up. But even the ones who did have chores growing up feel like they're "grown" now and don't have to do that anymore. Well you do! And while your husband/boyfriend should be able to pick up after himself, as the woman of the house, you should be able to maintain a clean house. 

Fix his plate

Women across the country at cookouts and family reunions and holidays can now be heard saying "He can fix his own plate... Ain't nothin' wrong with his legs..." (with an eye roll). That is not right ladies! You should honor your man by fixing his plate. You don't necessarily have to do it every single time he eats (because seriously, there's nothing wrong with his legs), but at least do it when you are in public as a sign of respect. And no, it's not demeaning. Have a servant's heart. Respect and honor him and he should return the favor. 

Watch your mouth

Women these days curse way too much! It used to be illegal to curse in public (it technically still may be in some places). And "a lady" didn't curse. Nowadays, we're all just calling each other b*****s and h**s like it's no big deal - like it's a compliment! And some women curse like a sailor. That is just not attractive. Try to refrain from cursing, especially in certain situations - like maybe church, class, in front of his new boss, etc. Have some class!

Dish out compliments

Women of the 1950s TV sitcoms were quick to compliment their man. But nowadays women just want to soak up all the compliments. But the truth is, it should go both ways. If anything, men should receive way more compliments than women because they are way more sensitive and insecure than they let on. Try to increase the number of compliments you dish out each day. Whatever you're doing now, it's probably not enough. 

Keep yourself up

Women used to really focus on "keeping themselves up" and always "looking presentable". Always. At all times. There was no walking out in public with your hair wrapped or in curlers. And there definitely was no being seen in public in sweats (or the 1950s equivalent). Nowadays, women are so comfortable and lax that they'll just go out looking any kind of way and don't really invest effort in maintaining their bodies in general. Work out. Eat healthy. Look presentable. Take care of yourself. You are a reflection of your man. Make him look good!

Dress up for dates

Just because you've been in a relationship for awhile now doesn't mean you don't have to take the time to look nice when you go out together. Date night should be just as exciting as a first date! Women used to put forth just as much effort regardless of if it was a new suitor or her husband of twenty years. Keep doing what you did to get him to keep him! He will definitely notice and appreciate the extra effort. 

Anticipate his needs

You should be so in tune with your man that you know what he's thinking before he thinks it. You should know what he wants and needs before he even asks. Women used to be on point when it came to this one! They would have a cold beer waiting, a cigar, and dinner on the table. She would take his hat and coat before he could even get in the door good! But now, women tend to ignore the signs and just wait on him to ask (and then complain about it!). Don't do that. Try to anticipate his wants and needs. Be that help meet that he needs. As his woman, you should make him better.
