Sure, there are people who choose to vow chastity for various reasons, and although this can be respected, there is so much benefit that can come from having an active sex life.
Improve the Senses
The feeling after sex is quite simply indescribable; however, not only does it leave you with an amazing feeling throughout your body, believe it or not it actually increases your sense of smell. Although this is probably the last thing you are thinking about after experiencing mind shattering, knee knocking, finger tingling sex, you will have produced the hormone ‘prolactin surges’. Alan Farnham in his article ‘Is Sex Necessary’ (Forbes.com) describes this hormone as causing stem cells in your brain to develop new neurons in the brain’s olfactory bulb (its smell centre).
General Fitness
Not only does sex improve the senses, it also contributes to the minimum recommended guidance of how much physical exercise you should be doing in a given week, which aims to combat related diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure or strokes. The American College of Sports Medicine provides guidance to include 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week of moderately intense cardio, or 20 minutes, 3 days a week of vigorously intense cardio per week.
The thought of going to the gym, going for countless runs around the block, or dusting off and using your purchased home gym equipment may seem unfavourable due to the fact your current lifestyle simply will not allow you to get into this type of routine. However sex is not only proven to burn over 200 calories per vigorous session (Alan Farnham, Forbes.com), you will more than likely enjoy it a lot more than taking a run around the block, where the only sounds you’ll be experiencing are the sounds coming from your iPod!
