I recieved this list of the benefits of sex from a girlfriend by email and thought it would be amusing to share... benefits of sex!..modified a little for more content... so here goes to telling your husband/wife why it would be good to get some nookie tonight... heh heh... *ahem*

*cough* By the way, this in no way means that I have any intention to putting up sexually explicit posts up on my blog, this is just for information purposes only *cough*

Did you know that we can determine if a person is sexually active or not by looking at her skin?

1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests have shown that a woman who has sexual relations produces big amounts of estrogen which makes hair shiny and soft.

2. To make love in soft and relaxed way reduces the possibilities of suffering from dermatitis and acne. The sweat produced cleans pores and makes the skin shine.


3. To make love allows you to burn calories! Check it out HERE to see how much you can torch during each session depending what you do! Its a MUST READ btw.. its hilarious!!

Thirty minutes of sex can burn approximately 150 calories. A person who has sex three times a week for a year can potentially lose about five pounds a year due to sex alone. Sex also stretches and tones muscles, which can lead to a higher level of fitness and a better posture. Muscular contractions during intercourse work the pelvis, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck and thorax. Sex also boosts production of testosterone, which leads to stronger bones and muscles.

4. Sex is one of the safest sports. It strengthens and tones body muscles. It is more enjoyable than doing 20 laps in the pool. And you don't need special shoes!

5. Sex is an instantaneous cure to aid against depression. It frees endorphines in the blood flow, creating a state of euphoria and leaves us with a feeling of well-being.

6. The more we make love, the more we have the capacity to do more. A body sexually active releases a higher amount of pheromone. This subtle aroma excites the opposite sex ! After sex, production of the hormone prolactin surges which causes stem cells in the brain to develop new neurons in the brain's olfactory bulb, the centre which enables us to smell.

7. Sex is the safest tranquiliser in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT THAN VALIUM. Numerous studies show that sex helps reduce stress by lowering anxiety levels, boosting relaxation, and aiding in sleep.

8. To kiss everyday to avoid the dentist. Kisses aid saliva in cleaning teeths and lower the quantity of acids causing enamel weakening.

9. Sex relieves headaches. Each time we make love, it releases the tension in brain veins. Immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin surge to five times their normal level. This in turn releases endorphins, which alleviate the pain of everything from headache to arthritis to even migrane. It also helps relieve menstrual cramps. In a study, people who reported one or two sexual "episodes" per week enjoyed higher levels of the antibody that helps fight disease.

10. To make love a lot can heal a nasal congestion. Sex is a natural antihistaminic. It helps fight asthma and spring allergies. Some evidence suggests that sex can be rejuvenating to the point of helping wounds heal faster. Several experiments have shown that oxytocin can help sores to heal quicker by regenerating cells.

So there you have it... some health reasons to get busy.... *wink* Good Luck!!
