From feeling happier to living longer, it’s hard to see anything but major health benefits from regular female orgasms (and a fair few for male ones, too). It is only in the relatively recent past that enough attention has been given to the range of positive effects that are triggered by climaxing. Every woman should go for plenty of them solo or with a partner – when they benefit you emotionally, mentally and physically.
Orgasms Improve Emotional and Physical Health
They improve your emotional health by making you feel more cheerful and fortunate. The ‘happiness hormone’, oxytocin, is released during sex. This helps people who have regular orgasms to have a more optimistic outlook on life and be more body positive.
Orgasms also improve cardiovascular health, improving circulation to the body and brain. Studies have shown that women who have orgasms at least once a week tend to have more normal and regular menstrual cycles. It seems that regular sex boosts the immune system by increasing the production of antibodies, strengthening your ability to fight off infections and illness.
Look Younger
Who doesn’t want to look younger? Being more orgasmic boosts the appearance of your skin, nails and hair. They increase the production of estrogen which makes your skin more elastic and thus more youthful looking. There is also an increase in your ability to absorb nutrients resulting in tougher nails and longer, stronger hair. And they help you sleep better by boosting endorphin levels which induce deep feelings of relaxation.
Live Longer
All of these benefits add towards living longer, too. A study conducted over a ten-year period showed that people who had two or more orgasms per week had a significantly lower mortality rate than those having fewer.
Orgasms Help Build Better Relationships
And there’s the positive impact on your relationships. Having regular, loving and satisfying sex will only deepen your connection with a partner. That ‘happiness hormone’, oxytocin – also known as the ‘bonding hormone’ – is released in the brain of both lovers deepening the connection between you.
In so many ways, it makes sense to commit yourself to a regular diet of climactic sex (see other articles for advice on achieving that, if you are having difficulties). You’ll feel happier, be healthier, look younger, live longer – and likely build better relationships.
