As you can imagine we are pretty big fans of sex! We happen to believe that it\u2019s one of the greatest gifts Mother Nature has given us, and we should all be having as much sex as possible. You just can\u2019t beat the feeling of sheer contented bliss after a good sweat session. However, did you know that regular sex does a lot more than put a smile on your face? It is actually really important in the maintenance of a healthy mind and body in so many ways. Here are just a few of them:<\/p>\n
It keeps illness at bay<\/b>
\nBelieve it or not, regular sessions between the sheets\/in the shower\/on the dining table can help prevent illness. Research has shown that people who have sex at least once a week have higher levels of the antibodies needed to help fight off certain infections.<\/p>\n
It lowers your blood pressure<\/b>
\nRegular intercourse (as opposed to having sex with yourself!) can help to lower systolic blood pressure. The systolic bit didn\u2019t mean much to us, but it’s a good thing!<\/p>\n
It boosts libido<\/b>
\nHaving regular sex means you\u2019ll keep having more regular sex. For women in particular, regular sex is important for maintaining lubrication and elasticity. So the more you have, the better it feels. What\u2019s not to love about that?<\/p>\n
It can help with anxiety and depression<\/b> It can help keep you looking young<\/b> So, if you want to stay in shape, feel good, stay looking younger, keep your blood pressure under control and stay healthy then you should be having lots and lots of sex! Off you go!<\/p>\n
\nThe chemicals released in your body during and after sex have a positive impact on your mood, especially in reducing stress and anxiety. Some studies have even suggested that semen can help lift people out of the blues<\/a>. We\u2019re not suggesting that\u00a0unprotected sex is the answer when\u00a0you\u2019re feeling a bit down, but if you\u2019re in a monogamous relationship then there are more added benefits of skin-to-skin than you may think!<\/p>\n
\nThis one definitely has to be our favourite! According to Dr David Weeks, who is a neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, regular sexual activity can \u2018help a person to look between four and seven years younger.<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\nFollow\u00a0@Cam4<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter for more information on sexual wellbeing\u2026and hot pics ;)<\/h2>\n
