Ten Reasons Why Sex Is Good Medicine
- Sex cures mild depression by releasing endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and a feeling of well-being.
- Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever. No one ever gets a stuffy nose during lovemaking.
- Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.
- Sex tones up just about every muscle in the body, and it’s more fun than swimming twenty laps.
- When women make love, they produce large amounts of estrogen, which makes hair shiny and skin smooth.
- The more often you have sex, the more sex you will be offered. A sexually active body secretes large quantities of pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy.
- Sex is around ten times more effective as a tranquilizer than Valium.
- Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay and plaque buildup.
- Sex relieves headaches by releasing the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.
- Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chance of suffering dermatitis, rashes, and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes the skin glow.
