It is well known that sex plays an important part in a relationship. Couples enjoy the feeling of intimacy with their partners during and after sex. This is because of a hormone which is released, called oxytocin. Otherwise known as the “love” hormone, oxytocin is the hormone that helps to form trust and create bonds with the people we love. Sex is also a great way for men and women to feel good about themselves. Being close to the person they love and pleasuring them can provide an intense feeling of well-being in a person as well as giving them a real boost of self-confidence.
Health Benefits
Most people understand and appreciate the above benefits; however, what many fail to realize is that sex actually has a number of health benefits.
Exercise – Sex is a great form of cardiovascular exercise and is reported to burn between 80 and 150 calories per half hour. It’s also a great way to strengthen muscles all over the body and, of course, the more positions, the better the workout.
Good night’s rest – It is well known that regular exercise is a promoter of a good night’s sleep. Therefore, people who have regular sex of once or twice a week are also more likely to enjoy a much better night’s sleep than those who are not having sex as often.
Healthy immune system – Various studies have shown that men and women who have sex regularly (once or twice a week) tend to have more immunoglobulin A (IGA) in their systems. IGA is a key element which helps the immune system fight off such illnesses as the common cold.
Painkiller – The production of oxytocin and release of endorphins during sex has a remarkable effect on pain. There is evidence to suggest that sex can be as effective at easing a headache as a paracetamol tablet.
Lower blood pressure – Although sex gets the heart pumping, it is believed that regular sex can do wonders for lowering blood pressure. The cardio vascular workout, the release of the happy endorphins and the obvious benefits of a healthy sex life and relationship all seem to work to lower blood pressure and relieve stress. When people who have regular sex are put into stressful situations, they are more likely to cope well with them than those who are not having sex as often.
Reduced risk of prostate cancer – It is widely thought by many medical professionals that ejaculating between thirteen and twenty times a month may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Some research has shown that men in this group are 14% less likely to suffer from prostate cancer when they are older, possibly because ejaculation decreases levels of testosterone which has been linked to prostate cancer.
What to do if you’re not having regular sex
Men with sexual dysfunctions that are preventing them from having sex regularly, will not only not receive the above benefits, but the lack of sex can be confusing and frustrating. Fortunately there are ways to manage and deal with the most common dysfunctions; the most popular being natural male enhancement pills.
These pills deal with a variety of sexual dysfunctions:
Low libido
Low or complete loss of libido is not as common in men as it is in women, although testosterone levels do drop by 10% every decade after a man turns 30, so they will suffer a gentle decline in the desire to have sex. However, sudden or drastic drops in libido for men can be seriously disorientating and they do not handle the situation anywhere near the same way that women do. For men, a loss of libido can lead to serious depression with a high percentage of men suffering from the condition stating that they are unhappy in all other aspects of their lives.
Male enhancement pills can boost energy levels as well as provide natural aphrodisiacs which help to build up a man’s libido.
Erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction can occur for numerous reasons and these can generally be split into two categories: physical and psychological. ED is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions in men. Many times, men who have only experienced the loss of erection once can worry about this occasion so much that it is this anxiety that can prevent them from either achieving an erection again at a later date, or even being able to maintain one.
Male enhancement supplements work to increase the blood flow to the penis by utilising ingredients that are known to increase the size of the blood vessels in the body as well as promote healthy blood circulation.
Premature ejaculation
As with ED, the fear of premature ejaculation itself may make men less inclined to have sex with their partners for fear of embarrassment or the worry that they will not be able to satisfy their partners sexually, therefore feeling like a failure.
Ingredients in male enhancement supplements will work to release endorphins that have been linked to inhibiting the ejaculation process. In addition to this, many men may actually feel much less nervous whilst taking such pills. Anxiety and nervousness is one of the causes of ED, so this more relaxed approach to sex may well help to extend the ejaculation latency period.
