Benefits of Sex For Those Who Thinks It's Evil.


As I made a long, annoying post about: I’ve never had sex, and, for the time being, plan to keep it that way, but I dislike the concept of waiting for marriageso that you aren’t a whore.  Waiting until marriage is great, less risk of STDs, pregnancy, and emotional hurt, but it’s not the only way things work anymore.  Since I don’t really know how perfect these websites are, I’m just posting the ones that are repeated or from reliable websites.
  1. Sex relieves stress.
  2. Sex burns calories - about 170 per hour.
  3. Studies show that sex boosts immunoglobulin A, an antibody that protects against colds and infections.
  4. Having sex once or twice a week reduces the chance of a fatal heart attack.
  5. Sex reduces pain.  As the hormone oxytocin surges, endorphins increase, and pain declines. So if your headache, arthritis pain, or PMS symptoms seem to improve after sex, you can thank those higher oxytocin levels.  Oxytocin also improves sleep
  6. Frequent ejaculations reduce the chances of prostate cancer.
  7. Sex balances our hormone levels, which results in clearer skin.
  8. Turns out that semen is chock-full of zinc, calcium and other tooth decay-fighting minerals that benefit us when our bodies absorb it. While having lots of sex can’t replace a biannual trip to the dentist, having extra doses of these minerals certainly can’t hurt our pearly whites.
  9. Sex (side note: having sex is not the cure to low self-esteem or a failing relationship.  It’s an addition to a good one.) boosts confidence, self-esteem, and improves moods.
  10. Some evidence suggests that having sex can heal physical wounds faster.
  11. Recent evidence shows that semen could be an antidepressant and help lower blood pressure.  It’s also packed with vitamins/minerals.
Just be safe.  Use condoms and birth control.  Be aware that nothing is 100% safe.
