What's so good about sex? Ask god for help
Dr. Ted McIvener, who studies the theme of "Sex and Health", is currently leading a survey of 37,500 adults to reveal the important role of regular sexual intercourse in physical and mental health. Their research results show that long-term good sexual life makes people less anxious, less violent and hostile, and also supports the immune system of the human body, which can relieve pain, regulate endocrine and improve mental state ... A happily married partner will get the most benefits. 1. Make women's menstrual period regular and not easy to get old. Dr Winnifred Cutler, director of the Women's Health Center of Athina Institute in Pennsylvania, USA, affirmed the health care function of sexual life from the aspects of sex hormones and women's health. She said: "Regular sex life can greatly benefit women's health and longevity." Studies have confirmed that women who have sex at least once a week have much higher estrogen levels than those who have sex only occasionally. On the other hand, estrogen can keep the blood circulation system in good structure and smooth function, reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood, and at the same time increase the level of "good" cholesterol, and keep the skin soft, prevent depression and maintain bone density. Dr. Cutler said: "Women who are in a stable relationship and sexually active are not prone to aging." . Her research also shows that sexual intercourse helps to stabilize the menstrual cycle. Dr Teresa Brady, executive director of the Minnesota Arthritis Institute, said: "Many people mistakenly avoid sex when they feel pain. If you have sex when you feel pain, you will be surprised to find how effective sexual intercourse is in relieving pain. " Southern Illinois Medical College studied 52 female patients who had sex during migraine attacks. Eight of them indicated that the headache disappeared completely, and 16 indicated that the headache was relieved. The mechanism of sexual intercourse to relieve pain is still inconclusive. There is a theory that orgasm can activate "endorphins" in brain endocrine, which is similar to morphine and has a strong analgesic effect. Dr whipple, an associate professor in the School of Nursing at Rutgers University, said, "Orgasm is a natural painkiller". In the study of female patients with chronic arthritis and whiplash injury caused by excessive cervical flexion and extension, she found that orgasm significantly increased their pain threshold (that is, they were not easy to feel pain and became insensitive to pain). 3. Reduce women's menstrual pain and gynecological diseases. Dr. Reinisch, former director of the world-famous Kinsey Institute of Sexology, pointed out that if postmenopausal women can have regular sexual life and orgasm, they are unlikely to suffer from urinary tract and vaginal infections, because sexual behavior and orgasm can prevent vaginal mucosa from drying. Alfred Franger, M.D., an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology and psychiatry at Wisconsin Medical College, pointed out: "Your sexual partner is a better drug than the diet and hormone therapy prescribed by doctors to treat PMS. 5-7 days before your menstrual cramp, the blood reaching the pelvic cavity increases, making you feel swollen and colic. When women reach orgasm during sexual intercourse, muscles contract, prompting blood to leave the pelvic cavity and return to the systemic circulation, thus relieving tension. " 4. It can treat insomnia. Alexander Lowen, MD, executive director of new york International Bioenergy Analysis Institute, also said: "Sexual intercourse is a good relaxant". Sexual intercourse can make people settle down, make the body smooth and make people fall asleep, so it can be said to be a good sedative and insomnia treatment agent. 5. It can relieve tension and improve immunity. In the new field of "psychoneuroimmunology", experts found that sexual intercourse can reduce tension and improve immune function. Professor Chapman also observed that when women with breast cancer are satisfied with their sexual life, they will enter a state of biochemical euphoria and improve the level of T cells. T cells are the bearers of immune function. 6. A good exercise The aforementioned Franger, MD, said: "Active sexual behavior is like doing a fitness exercise". Women who weigh 120 pounds consume 42 calories per minute during sex, while tennis doubles only consume 40 calories per minute. When we have sex, our heart rate and pulse will increase. After orgasm, our bodies relax and return to normal activity levels. Regular sexual intercourse can increase physical endurance, just like the purpose pursued by various sports in the gym. 7. It can improve our appearance and senses. Dr. Hitt, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at Liu Xi University School of Medicine, said: "The effect of making love to relieve tension can directly benefit the skin and prevent rashes." Dr resnick, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, also pointed out: "Frequent sex will stimulate the nervous system and make all our senses more acute. When you are in a state of sexual satisfaction, the sky looks blue as never before, roses smell fragrant as never before, and food tastes delicious as never before. " 8. Make a person's personality more cheerful and amiable, and the spouse who can be satisfied in sexual life will have a happier family. The satisfaction of sex also makes them have more pursuits and feel more valuable to their families, careers and social activities. Fahlge, a marriage therapy expert practicing in California, said: "A gentle and considerate sex life helps to cultivate communication and emotional exchange between spouses, increase care and consideration, and let us consider the needs of both sides more. Making love can gradually change people, and a person who is easily angry can slowly change the texture of emotions. " The above research results show that sexual behavior is beneficial to health. There is no cure-all medicine in the world, and nothing can make people healthy forever and stay away from disease and death forever. Sexual intercourse is no exception. However, it is more important not to try to imagine what sex can't do, but to create and enjoy the fruits of a good sex life.
