If it feels good, do it! Coz’ what feels good is good for you. Making love helps keep you healthy, boost the heart and relieve pain. It is not only in the mind that sex leaves its mark but on the body itself. The effect is on almost every part of the body. This is from the brain, straight to the heart and to the immune system. I find an active sex life and even arousal lead to my ability to ward off pain, better heart health, more robust immune system, longer life, lower rates of depression and even protection against breast cancer. Thanks to our hormone called oxytocin, known to be the key lubricant for the machinery of sex. During childbirth, oxytocin controls the muscles of our uterus. And would you believe this? Oxytocin surge up to five times as high as its normal blood level during our orgasm. Considered as the cuddle hormone, it is responsible for helping us to forge strong emotional bond. Released from the brain, it works in the blood, it travels to other tissues like our uterus along our nerve fibers. Where it regulates our blood pressure, body temperature, relief from pain and even wound healing. Stumbled upon one of oxytocin’s more potent effect is our G Spot, our vaginal on-switch arousal. Even a simple or gentle pressure on my G Spot increases my ability to dull pain. And during orgasm I could tolerate more pain even during self stimulation and so much more with my partner as we both climaxed. It is during arousal that part of the brain instruct the body to release corticosteroids and endorphins which can temporarily numb some parts my body especially the raw nerve endings. This is responsible for menstrual cramps, migraine and arthritis. It is after my orgasm that my anxiety reduced with a matching calming effect. I have noticed also that my sores or wounds heal fast when we intercourse more often. Even in masturbating, you may experience less depression. The benefits of sex are noticeable just like after having my aerobic fitness. After my aerobic workouts or acts of intercourse especially during orgasm, my heart rate and blood pressure typically doubles. I may conclude that sex and aerobic workouts can protect me against heart disease. My partner and I make love more often since it makes us feel healthy and makes us prone to these diseases like heart disease to begin with. We are both sexually active even we are very busy, having sex is equal to walking a mile or bicycling.

Why celibate? Intercourse more often or have more frequent sex so as to live longer and suffer less depression. Remember this, because sex itself appears to be the big factor. Believe me, there is a link between frequent intercourse and greater longevity. My question is this — Is there an optimal rate of sexual frequency for keeping our body’s defenses strong and healthy? This will be an exciting time to rethink and re-conceptualize your sexuality. May “Sex Glow” be with you and stays longer than you realized.
