Intercourse is a natural and fundamental aspect of human life that goes far beyond its procreative function. It plays a crucial role in our physical, emotional, and social well-being. While the topic of intercourse can sometimes be considered taboo, it is important to recognize and appreciate the numerous benefits it can offer....CONTINUE READING
From enhancing our overall health to fostering emotional connections and improving our quality of life, engaging in consensual and enjoyable intercourse experiences can have a profound positive impact on various aspects of our lives.
According to Healthline, benefits a person can get from having intercourse include:
1. Stronger immune system. Engaging in frequent intimate activity, specifically one to two times a week, has been linked to a stronger immune system. Research has shown that individuals in romantic relationships who have regular intercourse exhibit higher levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in their saliva.
IgA is an important antibody that helps prevent illnesses and acts as the first line of defense against human papillomavirus (HPV). Conversely, individuals who have infrequent intercourse, less than once a week, tend to have significantly lower levels of IgA.
However, it is worth noting that those who engage in intercourse more than three times a week show similar IgA levels to those with infrequent intercourse. This suggests that anxiety and stress may counteract the positive effects of intercourse on immune function.
2. Better sleep. Intercourse can contribute to better sleep. During intercourse climax, the body releases oxytocin, often known as the “love” or “intimacy” hormone, as well as endorphins. The combination of these hormones can have a sedating effect, promoting improved sleep quality.
Better sleep, in turn, has a range of benefits including a stronger immune system, a potentially longer lifespan, feeling more well-rested, and experiencing increased energy levels throughout the day.
3. Headache relief. Intercourse has been found to provide relief from headaches. One study discovered that engaging in intercourse can lead to full or partial alleviation of migraines and cluster headaches.
Among intimately active individuals who experienced these types of headaches, 60 percent reported improvement during a migraine, while 70 percent reported moderate to complete relief.
For cluster headaches, 37 percent experienced an improvement in symptoms, with 91 percent reporting moderate to complete relief…CONTINUE READING>>
