How can sex help in getting healthier?
1 of 5
Sex can have a number of health benefits when it is practiced on a regular basis. It can help in increasing the immunity of the system as the constant intimate and close contact will help in exposing one to many kinds of good bacteria too. Further, the health of the heart gets improved with sexual activity because the act itself increases the heart rate to a good level where the toxins can be flushed out and the metabolism works in a better manner. Further, weight loss can also take place due to these functions. Sexual Phobia can stop people from indulging in sexual intercourse. This can be prevented with the help of sexual therapy and medication in case the patient is also suffering from trauma.
How can sex contribute to weight loss?
2 of 5
A great sex life can actually help in removing stress which helps a person focus on the act and the various other aspects of one s life. Further, burning calories and increasing one s metabolism becomes an everyday thing when one regularly indulges in sexual intercourse. The biggest spike in one s heart rate and blood pressure happens in the 15 seconds that are spent during sexual peak and climax.
The frequency of sex and the time spent having sex will dictate the quality of weight loss.
3 of 5
One should have sex frequently and for longer periods in order to burn the right amount of calories and to create the correct heart rate for a more sustained duration. At least 30 minutes of time spent in sexual activity will help in burning a substantial amount of calories. Having sex for 30 minutes is the same as walking up two flights of stairs.
Sex is not an exercise that can help in burning calories with vigour.
4 of 5
When practiced with vigour, sexual intercourse can be a good form of exercise. The average to intense vigour used during at least 30 minutes spent during sex will help in burning the required number of calories. The heart rate should increase to at least 130 with average vigour used during 30 minutes of sexual activity.
There are a number of positions that can help in losing weight during sex.
5 of 5
A great sex life includes plenty of experimentation which means that one is willing to try many positions. This will make the joints and muscles more supple and flexible even as it helps in weight loss. Having sex in various positions has been likened with walking, dancing and going to the gym.
