10 Must Know Health Benefits of Sex.

In humans, sexual intercourse and sexual activity in general have been reported as having health benefits as varied as increased immunity by increasing the body's production of antibodies and subsequent lower blood pressure, and decreased risk of prostate cancer. Sexual intimacy and orgasms increase levels of the hormone oxytocin (also known as "the love hormone"), which can help people bond and build trust. Oxytocin is believed to have a more significant impact on women than on men, which may be why women associate sexual attraction or sexual activity with romance and love more than men do. A long-term study of 3,500 people between ages 18 and 102 by clinical neuropsychologist David Weeks indicated that, based on impartial ratings of the subjects' photographs, sex on a regular basis helps people look significantly chronologically younger. Here is the 10 health benefit of sex you should know;

2. sex burned 4 calories per minute for men and 3 per minute for woman, during sessions that ranged from 10 to 57 minutes, including foreplay. (the average was 25 minutes) man burned about 9 calories per minute jogging and woman about 7. sex is important for physical fitness.

“When either one of those is low you begin to get lots of problems, like osteoporosis and even heart disease,” Pinzone says.
Having sex more often may help. During one study, men who had sex at least twice a week were half as likely to die of heart disease as men who had sex rarely.
7. having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or lgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other infections.

One study even found that sexual activity can lead to partial or complete relief of headache in some migraine and cluster-headache patients.
