Great Reasons To Have Sex

As we age, a lot of people see sex as an extra or something that they “just, do not have time for”.

The fact of the matter is that we should all make sex a priority in our relationships. The reason for this is not just because it allows for us to be close to our mate, but because there are many positive side effects associated with having regular sex. Many are surprised by the benefits of having regular sex.

Benefits of having sex include but are not limited to:


  • Reducing the chance of heart attack and stroke by 50% in men.
  • Sex is a great way to burn calories! 30 minutes is 200 calories gone!
  • Sex can also help to cure irritability and agitation.
  • Having sex even once a week can boost the immune system by 30%.
  • Having sex regularly actually slows the aging process that we all fear.
  • Those who have sex usually sleep better due to endorphins released afterward.
  • Sex helps to tone the pelvic muscles, meaning better bladder control!
  • Sex can relieve the pain associated with menstrual cramps.
  • Women will benefit from regular sex in the way of a smaller buttocks!
  • Regular sex means more regular menstrual cycles, which is a good thing!
  • Sex can bring people back together, even after a nasty fight.
  • Having sex can induce labour when a pregnancy has gone over term.
  • Need to be more flexible? Sex can help with this!
  • Sex can actually relieve a headache, so stop using it as an excuse and get busy!
  • Sex is always a great topic of conversation! The more you have the more you can talk!
  • The more you have sex the longer you'll be able to enjoy it as you get older.
  • Men who have regular sex are less likely to develop prostate cancer.
  • Sex can actually help people express their affection for one another.
  • Having good sex is a confidence booster as it is nice to know that you are able to please someone in a sexual way.
  • Sex is a great way to release tension.

As you can see, there are a lot of great reasons to keep having sex as you age. Many relationships go from having a lot of sex to hardly ever having sex. If you don't have time or you don't have much of a libido, work on these things. Sex is beneficial in many different ways, even ways that we do not realise.

When you make it a priority you will find that sex is something that you actually begin looking forward to, even if you never have before!
