7 Ways Having Sex Benefits Your Man

1. Regular Sex Keeps His Heart Strong

You may think this is mere wishful thinking but do you know that regular use of the manhood keeps the heart stronger? You already make his heart go pitter-patter when you walk into the room, but turns out, you're protecting his heart in other ways too. According to research from Queens University in Belfast, men who have sex three or more times a week cut their heart attack and stroke risk in half. Could this be the trick to keeping the doctor away?

2. Improves His Mood

Sexy time keeps your guy in good spirits. Well, duh. But, in addition to relieving his stress from work, and improving his self-esteem, sex can actually fend off depression by releasing those feel-good endorphins.

3. Ensures A Good Night's Sleep

Getting enough sleep is essential to your health, affecting everything from your mood to your weight. So your guess is good as mine as what could easily induce and lull your man to sleep: good sex. Oxytocin, the 'love hormone' released during orgasam, is a natural sleep aid, especially for men, which may also explain why he passes out afterward.

4. Decreases His Prostate Cancer Risk

Medical doctors would readily tell you that having sex regularly may protect your guy from getting cancer later in life. A research into prostate cancer has revealed that guys who averaged 21 ejaculations a month had a 33% lower risk of prostate cancer than those with just four to seven ejaculations a month.

5. Erases Pain

For you, the big O can relieve those awful menstrual cramps, but it's also a natural painkiller for your guy. In one study, 48 people inhaled oxytocin vapor and then had their fingers pricked. The oxytocin cut their pain threshold by more than half. Headaches, back pain, cramps, waist pain, you name it, the hormone does wonders.

6. Keeps Him Fit

Do you think your man is getting flabby and you need to whip him into shape? Look no further than the bedroom. In addition to strengthening his stomach, back and pelvic floor, a 30-minute romp torches about 200 calories. If we're talking a more intense, hour-long session for a 190-lb man, that burns about 413 calories. Talk about a total body workout.

7. Helps Him Live Longer

Research has shown having regular sex makes you look more youthful - possibly even 10 years younger - but it turns out, it's more than just an illusion. Sex can actually slow the aging process. A study from the British Medical Journal found that men who had the highest frequency of orgasms had a death rate 50% lower than those who did not ejaculate frequently.
