Sex is a wonderful thing. It not only allows people to enjoy pleasure and enhance feelings, but is also good for health. In recent years, many scientific studies have shown that regular sex can promote heart health, enhance immunity, and help people live longer. On October 8, the Times of India published an article that reviewed some authoritative research on the relationship between sex and lifespan.

Having frequent orgasms can increase a woman’s life by 8 years. Reaching orgasm together is the common pursuit of couples and one of the criteria for measuring the quality of sex. The relationship between orgasm and health has always been a topic of interest to sexologists. A study from the University of California found that a violent orgasm is equivalent to a dose of diazepam, which can help relieve stress, relax the body and mind, and increase anti-inflammatory cells in the body by 20%. Having regular orgasms triples a man's chance of living longer and adds eight years to a woman's lifespan. In addition, women who have two orgasms a week can reduce their risk of heart disease by 30%.

A hug every day adds 7 years to your life. Hugging your partner isn't just good for sex, it also helps release more of the "intimacy hormone" oxytocin. A British study shows that oxytocin significantly improves the chances of living longer. A survey in the country also found that couples who hugged more than twice a day lived an average of seven years longer than those who never hugged. Therefore, it is best to hug each other for a while before going out and before and after sex.

Have sex once a week and your risk of stroke will be halved. Having sex once a week can help maintain hormone levels and keep your heart and brain healthy. The latest research in Japan found that men who have sex more than once a week can reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke by 50%. Regular sex helps increase endorphin levels in the brain, which can help relieve stress.

Regular sexual intercourse delays aging. Sex is the best exercise, which can improve the circulatory system and muscle vitality and delay the aging process. One hour of sex can burn as many calories as a glass of red wine or two cookies. The study also found that middle-aged women who have sex once a week have twice the level of bone-protecting estrogen in their bodies than other women. Changing sex positions can help improve sexual pleasure and increase sexual activity. For example, changing the sex position with the woman on top to the woman on top can increase the heart rate during sex.
