7 Sex Secrets To Keep The Doctor Away

1. Tell Your Wife To Save Your Life:

Guess what guys! The more orgasms you experience, the lower your chance of experiencing a heart disease related death! In 1997, the British Journal of Medicine published findings on a decade long study done by the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health of Queens University in Belfast Ireland.

The study found that after observing a group of 914 healthy middle-aged men for a ten-year period, the ones who reported having the most orgasms experienced half the mortality rate and a lower risk of coronary heart disease.

Your Chance Of Experiencing A Heart Disease Related Death."

Now take note, the study found that regardless of the frequency of sex, it was the number of orgasms that made the difference.¹

2. To Prostate Cancer, Sex Is The Answer:

Aside from having such heart healthy benefits, sex is good for the prostate too. A 2004 study done by the National Cancer Institute in Maryland found that greater frequency of ejaculation decreased the risk of prostate cancer in men by up to 33%.

The theories are that this is due to the flushing out of cancer-causing substances. Frequent ejaculation may help flush out retained chemical carcinogens in the prostate glands and may additionally help prevent the development of mini-crystals that can block ducts within the prostate gland. ⁴

3. Love Your Honey And You'll Feel Sunny:

If you are in a monogamous, healthy relationship and are either on birth control, unable to conceive or don't mind welcoming a little one, this might be for you. The department of psychology of the State University of New York at Albany recently did a study on the anti-depressant properties of seminal fluid.

The study found that within a few hours of administration, Prostaglandin, a hormone found only in semen, was detectable within the bloodstream. The female genital tract absorbs this hormone. The greater the amount absorbed, the lower the rate of depression.

	Prostaglandin: A prostaglandin is any member of a group of lipid compounds that are derived enzymatically from fatty acids and have important functions in the animal body. Every prostaglandin contains 20 carbon atoms, including a 5-carbon ring. They are mediators and have a variety of strong physiological effects. Although they are technically hormones, they are rarely classified as such. The prostaglandins together with the thromboxanes and prostacyclins form the prostanoid class of fatty acid derivatives. The prostanoid is a subclass of eicosanoids.

The consistency of condom use was in fact proportional to depressive symptoms and suicide attempts among females. For females who did not use condoms, feelings of depression decreased as the amount of time since their last sexual encounter increased.

In other words, the greater the frequency and consistency of your doing the horizontal mambo, the happier you are. So please, dance on! ²

And for those who do not fulfill the above-mentioned requirements, you can still benefit from the positive qualities of seminal plasma, which contains zinc, calcium and other minerals shown to retard tooth decay. More fun than flossing!

4. Better Than Eating An Orange:

5. The Big "O":

When a woman or man reaches the big "O" they release a great amount of Oxytosin. This fantastic hormone can help reduce pain, fear, blood pressure, anxiety and stress.

In addition, it increases pain threshold and promotes growth and healing. I must say though, my favorite part is still the warm tingly feeling.

6. Hit Up The Motel For Improved Sense Of Smell:

Well you don't necessarily have to take your partner to a motel but it might make for an exciting time! So back to the point; intercourse can improve your sense of smell.

This is because post-orgasm the brain excretes a great amount of prolactin. Prolactin in turn causes the brain to produce neurons in its olfactory bulb thus improving your sense of smell. ⁵

	Prolactin: Prolactin (PRL) or Luteotropic hormone (LTH) is a peptide hormone primarily associated with lactation. Prolactin has many effects including regulating lactation, orgasms, and stimulating proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Prolactin provides the body with sexual gratification after sexual acts: The hormone counteracts the effect of dopamine, which is responsible for sexual arousal. This is thought to cause the sexual refractory period. The amount of prolactin can be an indicator for the amount of sexual satisfaction and relaxation.

But know that in this case, intercourse is necessary to achieve the desired result. In fact, a study done by the Division of Psychology of the University of Paisley in Scotland found that the magnitude of prolactin increase following intercourse is 400% greater than that following masturbation. ⁶

During intercourse it is common to contract many muscles, especially those surrounding the thighs and pelvic region. Sex also increases testosterone levels in men, which in turn aids in the increase of muscle mass.

Conclusion

Now I've given you so many good reasons to have sex. From the decreased risk of heart disease, prostate cancer, depression, blood pressure, anxiety, stress, fear and tooth decay to improved immune function, sense of smell and overall health and fitness. I suggest you grab the one you love and give them this article, of course mentioning that it's for the good of their health.
