The Psychological Effect of Good Sex!

Studies such as one in the Journal of Sexual Medicine show that people who engage in sexual intercourse regularly have lower blood pressure and a decreased risk of developing cardiac problems. Release of brain chemicals such as endorphins and oxytocin not only reduces stress, keeping your heart and blood pressure stabilized, but also leads to an improved mood which has been proven to make people more likely to exercise and eat better.

When it comes to human interaction, people who regularly engage in sexual intercourse tend to develop better cognitive skills. The psychological benefits of having sex regularly directly affect your ability to empathize with others. Having regular sex not only makes people better at perceiving emotions and emotional responses but it also makes them better at expressing emotions and lowers their emotional defense mechanisms.

An orgasm, alongside releasing chemicals such as oxytocin, also releases your body s natural analgesics. Therefore, having an orgasm can ease pain for several hours afterwards. There have been studies done on migraine patients where subjects experienced drastic relief from pain after experiencing orgasms, with 91% of the test subjects reporting moderate to complete relief of pain. Having an orgasm also relieves menstrual cramps and even provides a temporary decrease in pain caused due to injury.

Prolactin is a hormone produced during sleep and at times of emotional stress. Having an orgasm also releases prolactin that makes for a good night s sleep. Having an orgasm also releases Oxytocin, a brain chemical that helps people bond, and Endorphins, which help relieve pain and discomfort as well as regulates people s mood.
