Is sex good for your health?

When it comes to sex life, I believe most people actually know about it. Even many young students nowadays have some understanding of sex life, but generally their understanding of sex life is still very shallow. And ordinary adults will know more about sex life. But most people have always had this question in their minds: Is sex good for their bodies?

Sexual life is very necessary and very important for couples. Harmonious sexual life is the guarantee of family relationships. In real life, we often find that many parents quarrel over inexplicable things, which is usually caused by sexual disharmony. So, let’s take a closer look at the question of whether sex is good for the body.

1. Exercise: Research from the Pennsylvania Medical College believes that sex life is equivalent to jogging. If you have sex three times a week, it is equivalent to jogging 75 kilometers in a year, and the heat energy burned is 7,500 calories. Regular sex can promote metabolism. Some people say that making love is exercise in bed. During sex, the breathing is deepened unconsciously, thereby increasing the amount of oxygen obtained by the cells and promoting the functions of various organs and tissues in the body. This seems to have some basis.

2. Increase hormone secretion. Men secrete a hormone called deoxyandrostenone every day, and men also need to supplement this type of androgen regularly, because only in this way can they maintain male characteristics. During sex, especially before orgasm and ejaculation, the body can naturally release 3-5 times more of this hormone than usual. Therefore, in the West, many men do not take medication to supplement hormones, but hope that the body can naturally release such masculine hormones. For women, estrogen can help them maintain good blood circulation. Women who have regular sex lives have much higher estrogen levels than those who have sex occasionally.

3. Protect the prostate. Regular ejaculation in sexually mature men can help clear the prostatic fluid accumulated in the prostate. Every time you ejaculate, 1/5 is sperm and 4/5 is semen, which includes a large amount of prostatic fluid. If you don't ejaculate for a long time, old prostatic fluid will accumulate in the prostate. However, it should be noted that sexual life should not be excessive, because frequent sexual life will cause the penis to be in a state of chronic congestion, leading to prostate hypertrophy or swelling, which makes it easy to suffer from chronic prostatitis.

To sum up, we will find that sex life actually has many benefits for our body, and the most common ones are: exercising the body, strengthening physical fitness; increasing hormone secretion; protecting the prostate, etc. Therefore, our couples must negotiate well about sexual life and try to reach an agreement, which will be beneficial to the health of both parties.
