I'm sure not going to doubt those findings - for purely selfish reasons... "you look sick sweety, here... this oughta help" (cue cheesy music*.But seriously, are people health and happy because they're having sex.. or are health and happy people having sex. Same survey results, but causation and correlation aren't the same thing. (erm, yes, causation and correlation was my first thought, i'm a nerd, so what :p )

1. Because it’s fun! Self-explanatory! 2. Sex helps you forget Oxytocin, which triggers orgasm, has an amnesic effect that lasts up to five hours. So for a period of time you forget that she maxed out your Visa card or he was an hour late getting home from work. Women get an additional benefit. During orgasm that parts of the brain that govern fear, anxiety, and stress are switched off. 3. Sex rewires you for pleasure Every time you share a positive experience with your partner, your brain comes to associate him or her with pleasure. You can transform any relationship simply by increasing the number of enjoyable times you share together.4. Heightened sense of smell After sex, production of prolactin surges, causing stem cells in the brain to develop new neurons in the brain’s smell center.5. Weight loss Rambunctious sex burns a minimum of two hundred calories, about the same as running fifteen minutes on a treadmill. 6. Reduced depressionProstaglandin, a hormone found in semen, modulates female hormones. Orgasm releases endorphins, producing a sense of well-being and euphoria.7. Pain relief During sex, levels of oxytocin surge five times their normal level, releasing endorphins that alleviate pain. Sex also prompts production of estrogen, which reduces the pain of PMS.8. Healthier heartWomen who have more sex have higher levels of estrogen, which protects against heart disease.9. Cure for the common cold Once-a-week sex produces 30 percent higher levels of immunoglobulin A, which boosts the immune system.10. Better bladder control Sex strengthens the pelvic muscles11. Peppy prostateSome urologists believe they see a relationship between infrequency of ejaculation in men and cancer in the prostate. 12. Shiny hair, glowing skin For women, extra estrogen from orgasm makes hair shine. Sweat produced during sex cleanses the pores and makes skin glow. Serotonin produces the after glow of sex.13. Calming effectSex is ten times more effective than Valium, with no side effects.14. Relief for a stuffy nose Really. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can even help combat hay fever and asthma.15. Firmer tummy and buttRegular sex can firm your tummy and butt, plus improve posture.16. Boosts immune system Endorphins stimulate immune-system cells that fight disease. 17. Forever young Sex actually slows down the aging process. It lowers cortisol levels in the bloodstream, which reduces stress and slows down the aging process.18. Protection against Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis Women who have more sex have higher levels of estrogen, which protects against Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis.19. EuphoriaWho wouldn’t want more? The best way to get a natural high is sex!

I truly believe that a healthy sexual appetite is good for my health. It is more fulfilling than going for a ran. Having sex with a great partner who can bring you to deep orgasm time and again certainly gets your heart rate up. Even doing it yourself burns calories... and it come with no membership fees

Trish... Your writing is as always inspired and a joy to read! Such a beautiful command of imagery... I've also found that orgasm or even just gently playing with myself can help with cramps unrelated to periods... and it's not just guys that orgasms make sleepy... SydneyBoy... I have a fondness for da big words at times myself lol... and the idea that the correlation made is not necessarily a result of the presumed causation but that the situation is actually vice-versa is an intriguing possibilty, but not a probability hehehe. Either way sounds like a win win situation to me lolol. Hahahaha Sophie... you cheeky minx. You know I love google... and lists! And now I have the answer to the question I was asking myself the other day... Does sex strengthen the pelvic muscles? :-* Heymumma... you have good taste in mags lol. Funny really, I did wonder to myself if anyone would post that they had read the article and there you are AND you've read Sophie's list before. Now, I really don't like being judgemental but in your case, seems as you asked for it... I would say you provide a wonderful example of living proof! Awww Sweet... I hear it's the quality not the quantity that counts, but I'm thinking that's not gonna make you feel any better... girlikes2have... thnx for your post today. I imagine sex also excercises a wonderful range of muscles and it has to be so much kinder on the body when we're bouncing around in bed rather than out on the pavement lol! Sexercise has got to be the way to go It makes me wonder that sex that really does have so many benefits, and not just for women lol, yet it is a subject that is frowned upon. Funny really considering how many innocent discussions end up descending into innuendos and inferences... Thnx again n hugs all... Mrs P

ohhh...Thankyou for the compliment..Yes I need more pics..but seems I always ended up too busy to take pics... on the rare fun I get. I know who you talking about MrsP...but he lives in Perth and is a very busy young man who has a wonderful career ahead of him. anyways..I like the teasing banter he gives me.... I would rather have a reg playmate..that would mean someone in bunbury ..(like my ex toyboy).. I do have my eye hot 30 yr old here...But I am playing it slow...See if he really wants reg fun..I don't want a 1-2 time fun..open relationship with a reg playmate would be wonderful!! kisses sweetpetite41 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
