Sex: It's good for your health!

Quote:
The NHS has some new advice for people struggling to schedule a fitness routine into their daily lives - a workout between the sheets.

According to the NHS Direct website, "sexercise" can lower the risk of heart attacks and helps people live longer.

Endorphins released during orgasm stimulate immune system cells, which also helps target illnesses like cancer, as well as wrinkles, it states.

Sexual health experts said such claims could not be scientifically proven.

"It's good to see the NHS are promoting sexual wellbeing," Dr Melissa Sayer told the Guardian newspaper.

"Yes, there is evidence that sex has benefits for mental wellbeing, but to say there is a link with reduced risk of heart disease and cancer is taking the argument too far."

NHS Direct, however, told the paper the content was "backed by science and clinical evidence" and "isn't just a bit of fun".

The advice, published under the headline "Get more than zeds in bed", is one of several sexual health-related articles to be found on the NHS Direct website.

Sex with a little energy and imagination provides a workout worthy of an athlete, the article says.


"Forget about jogging round the block or struggling with sit-ups.

"Sex uses every muscle group, gets the heart and lungs working hard, and burns about 300 calories an hour."

The advice suggests "regular romps this winter" could lead to a better body and a younger look.

Increased production of endorphins "will make your hair shine and your skin smooth," it adds.

"If you're worried about wrinkles - orgasms even help prevent frown lines from deepening."

The article goes on to say that orgasms release "painkillers" into the bloodstream, which helping keep mild illnesses like colds and aches and pains at bay.

The production of extra oestrogen and testosterone hormones "will keep your bones and muscles healthy, leaving you feeling fabulous inside and out".

So what are your experiences with this? They used to say that laughter was the best medicine.. maybe now it's sex. I can honestly say that when me and the wife are having a sex binge, that I feel better and more relaxed than when we are doing the married/too much work/stressed out thing. I've read in several books that not only will sex increase your energy and how you feel, but it can also help you look younger. The books that had that information claimed a person would need sex 3-5 times a week.

I don't know if I look any younger, but most people think I'm younger than I am when they first meet me..but I can't attribute that towards sex. I do think however that this article shows something that alot of people already had an idea about.. the more sex you have, the better you feel.

I have been long using the advice about orgasms to control everything from menstrual pain to the flu. If there's not someone to help me out, I help myself It really does work!

I think having sex on a regular basis is not only important to my personal health, but to the health of my relationship and that of my partner. Therefore, we try to do something sexy at least once a day, together or separately.

I concur....unless one of the partners has a cold and you end up passing it to each other, as has just recently happened in my relationship. ;-) But yes, this makes sense to me.
