Sex Builds Better Health Eight Great Ways
When you have S-E-X on your mind, chances are H-E-A-L-T-H is the last thing
you're thinking about - but the two actually go hand-in-glove! Sex promotes both
our physical and psychological health, according to experts, and here are eight
ways it helps:
1) Sex Busts Stress. Scottish researchers studied the sexual activity of 24
women and 22 men, then put them in stressful situations such as public speaking.
The subjects who had intercourse withstood stress better than those who either
abstained from sex or engaged in other sexual activities.
2) Sex Burns Calories. Sex burns up 85 calories in 30 minutes, and 40 half-hour
sessions will burn about 3500 calories, which is enough to lose a pound.
