Making love isn’t just good for your relationship, it offers a myriad of benefits for your body, mind and soul, according to experts
It Makes You Look Younger
Forget lasers and injectables – good sex is a veritable fountain of youth. From a decade-long study, Australian neuropsychologist Dr David Weeks found that older men and women who engaged in active, regular sex looked between five and seven years younger than those who had sex less often.
The boost in circulation and the body’s release of endorphins and DHEA – the human growth hormone, which makes your skin more elastic – all play a role.
It Reduces Your Stress Levels
While you do build up a lot of tension during sex, experts point out that the release is better at calming you down than any drug available. “It has been proven that touch releases oxytocin, also known as the ‘love hormone’ and the ‘cuddle chemical,’ which showed reduced levels of alpha amylase, a stress indicator,” says Relationship Counsellor and Clinical Sexologist Dr Martha Tara Lee of Eros Coaching.
