Well, that may be a little too ambitious for many of us, but we still want to highlight the amazing benefits of orgasm for us and our bodies.
Here are 9 of the most prominent benefits, both physical and mental. It's pretty amazing what a cocktail of hormones are released. YES, a ticket to 7th heaven, please! (with or without a passenger)
1. Stress reduction: Orgasms can help reduce stress levels by releasing endorphins and oxytocin, hormones that promote relaxation and well-being.
2. Improved sleep: After an orgasm, levels of hormones such as prolactin and oxytocin increase, which can help promote deeper and more restful sleep.
3. Stronger immune system: Regular orgasms can increase levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), an antibody that plays an important role in the body's immune system.
4. Pain relief: Orgasms release endorphins, which act as natural painkillers and can help reduce pain from conditions such as headaches, menstrual cramps and joint pain.
5. Improved cardiovascular health: Sexual activity, including orgasms, can improve heart health by increasing blood circulation and lowering blood pressure.
6. Mental health: Orgasms can improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by releasing endorphins and other feel-good hormones.
7. Improved intimate relationships: Sharing sexual experiences, including orgasms, can strengthen the bond between partners by increasing intimacy and emotional closeness.
8. Improved pelvic floor health: In women, orgasms can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which is beneficial for bladder control and may reduce the risk of pelvic floor problems later in life.
9. Increased self-esteem: Positive sexual experiences can boost confidence and body esteem.
