8 good reasons to have regular sex

Sex is ideally meant for married adults, but it’d be foolhardy to tell unmarried adults not to have sex.  All I can say is have safe sex and stick to healthy sex habits.
Now, to the issue of sex itself, some individuals see it just as as act that satisfies an urge. While this is true, there are actually medical and emotional reasons why people should have sex.


Sex is one sure way to burn some calories. A vigorous bout of sex burns about 200 calories in 30 minutes. The vigour involved in the act burns fat and increases the metabolism.

Sex increases the level of the antibody called immunoglobin. Immunoglobin is responsible for fighting colds and similar sicknesses. The better your sex life, the more immunoglobin generated, which ultimately keeps you far from cold and flu-free.

Oral sex from the man is vital for a woman. Semen (sperm) contains a large quantity of zinc, calcium and other minerals for fighting tooth decay. Hence, a woman who gives her partner a blow job (oral sex) may improve her dental health.

Good sex reduces irritability and helps the body relax. When you are tense or upset, good sex helps relax the nerves and eases pent up feelings.

Sex boosts your self-confidence. There is always this air of gratification when a partner compliments your skill and dynamics in bed. Good sex gives you self-confidence, especially when you know that you just ‘scored’ with your partner.

Sex can prevent cancer. Research has shown that the more a man ejaculates; the less likely he is to develop prostrate cancer. Therefore, even if a guy isn’t having sex, oral sex to help him release goes a long way towards keeping him healthy.

Sex makes you happy. Sex makes you happy; even more than money. According to research carried out by the National Bureau of economics, sex tends to give the participants a sense of joy and happiness. Next time you have sex, bask in how you really feel. If it’s been done right, you’ll definitely have a smile on your face.

Sex reduces stress and makes for better sleep. After a hard day at work, a good ‘sexcapade’ helps reduce stress, ease joint pains and helps you sleep better. People with a healthy sex life tend to handle stress better, and sleep better and deeper, working better than any sleeping pill.

Having said all that, it’s no longer news that men can’t help prevent breast cancer by sucking on a woman’s breasts. Similarly, fellatio won’t help prevent prostrate cancer. Therefore, have sex and make sure its good, but while doing that, remember that HIV/AIDS is real, so make sure you protect yourself and your partner always.
