Why You Should Have Sex Every Day (Amazing Health Benefits)

You probably do not know that having sex every day makes you look younger, healthier, stronger and even live much longer than those who don't have sex regularly.

Having sex daily makes you and your partner feel incredible about each other, it elevates your mood, it connects you through intimacy and benefits your mind and body. At the same time, regular sex gives you and your partner the physical, mental and emotional boost.

But before practising everyday sex or sexual activities, remember that consent is a paramount prerequisite and to attain consent you need to ask your partner about it and how they like you to approach the whole process.

Some partner like long foreplay before sex because it gives them pleasure or brings them into the mood, others may just want a spontaneous or quickie and some like both in no particular order.

Although, sex is quite crucial and one of the toughest things to discuss with a partner especially if what you want to discuss involves them changing their bedroom behaviour.

Meanwhile, regular discussions about sex help partners to build a happy relationship, while having sex regularly helps to build a healthy relationship by bringing couples closer to each other’s desires, preferences and ensure you are both getting the ultimate satisfaction.

Why You Should Be Having Sex Every Day

Did you know having sex everyday could give you the boost that you need? Now you know, so regardless of your gender, you should be having sex regularly. Here are 10 healthy reasons why you should have sex every day with your partner.

Keeps Your Heart Healthy

Daily sex does wonders for your heart and reduces risks of heart-related diseases such as stroke and blood pressure. During sexual activity, you tend to breathe intensely, this singular act works as a form of respiratory exercise and makes your heart function better.

Lots of studies have proven that regular sex can ward off heart attacks, therefore, the more you have sex the more you see your heart getting better and stronger. According to a study carried out by Queen’s University Belfast revealed that having sex three times a week could halve your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Another study in Israel found that women who had two orgasms a week are less likely to have heart disease than those who did not enjoy sex or didn’t have an orgasm. At the same time, men who have sex more than twice a week, have a lesser risk of getting a heart attack, than men who do it just once a month.

Boost Immune System And Longevity

Regular sex is an automatic immune booster, the more you have sex the more your body produces chemicals, hormones and antibodies which released antigen such as immunoglobulin A (IgA) that is responsible for strengthening the immune system.

Research carried out at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that participants who had sex once or twice a week had 30% higher levels of IgA than those who had sex less frequently. So feeling down or cold? Have a round of hot sex.

Everyday sex increases the level of the immune-boosting antibody which in turn makes your body stronger against illnesses like the common cold and fever. When you have an orgasm, a hormone called dehydroepiandrosterone is released.

This improves immunity, repairs tissue and keeps the skin healthy. Men, who have at least two orgasms a week, live longer than men who have sex just once every few weeks.

It Aid Good Sleep

There are a couple of hormones responsible for getting good sleep and they include melatonin, serotonin,  endorphins and oxytocin, all of these can be achieved through regular sex

Naturally, everyday sex makes your body release happy hormones that boost your intimacy and urge for doing the act repeatedly. These sex hormones aid better sleep. Seratonin helps to make you feel calm and relaxed and the body produces this chemical in the brain as a pleasure response, and it is released during orgasm/ejaculation. 

Melatonin on the other hand helps to produce hormones that regulate sleep and maintain the circadian rhythm of the body. An increased serotonin level may also lead to an increase in melatonin level, which further induces sleep.

While, Oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, can help you get some shut-eye as well. That happy-lovey-dovey feeling you get during or after sex is the result of oxytocin coursing through your bloodstream. It helps to reduce stress, lowers blood pressure, and makes it easier for you to fall asleep.

Haven't you noticed that the sleep you get immediately after you have sex is much more relaxed and makes you feel alert when you wake? Getting a good night’s sleep works on your overall health, so have more sex regularly.
