More Intimacy Really Is Better - 13 Health Benefits of Physical Relations
Most
men don’t need a reason to be intimate, other than the fact that they want
to. But just in case a man
– or his partner – needs some convincing, here is a list of 13 reasons to be
intimate tonight. Read them, memorize them, print a copy and keep them in the
night stand so that the next time the old not
tonight because of a headache excuse
comes out, there is a whole list of reasons why yes, tonight should win out! Of course, with all these extra
reasons to be intimate more frequently, men may need to up their male organ care routine to keep the little guy running
as efficiently as possible.
1) Intimacy cures headaches: Looks like that classic excuse is no
more. Research has found that intimacy can actually provide headache relief –
even of a severe migraine – so next time she has a headache, encourage her to
skip the medicine cabinet and head right for the bedroom!
2) Stress lowers blood pressure: Studies have found that people who are
intimate more often have a lower diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) -
that’s another good reason to increase the nookie.
3) Intimacy may improve breathing: Believe it or not, intimacy may be
a natural antihistamine; some people report relief from allergy and asthma
symptoms after intimacy.
4) Intimacy makes one happy: Researchers have found that the more
intimately active a person is, the happier – and healthier—they are. In fact, people who are getting more
action tend to take fewer sick days than those who are not.
5) Intimacy is a stress reliever: Getting the heart pumping is a
sure fire way to drop one’s stress level. Some people hit the gym, some people
hit the sheets – consider the latter the next time there is a need to blow off
some steam!
6) Intimacy burns calories: A particularly active romp in the hay
may burn as many as 200 calories or more! Sure beats an evening at the gym!
7) Intimacy boosts immunity: Even men who only squeeze in one tryst
per week enjoy a healthier immune system. Regular intimacy boosts the body’s
production of immunoglobulin A; so it seems that having intimacy every day
keeps the doctor away!
8) Intimacy is heart healthy: Regularly getting it on actually keeps
the ticker healthy and reduces a man’s chance of a fatal heart attack –
according to one British study. Men
who had intimacy two or more times per week were at half the risk of those who
got busy less than once a month.
9) Intimacy promotes bonding: Intimacy releases the chemical
oxytocin, which facilitates bonding and feelings of closeness between partners.
So rather than hop in the shower immediately after, lie around and reap the
benefits of these feel-good chemicals.
10) Intimacy improves self-esteem: Researchers have found that not only
does intimacy improve one’s self-esteem, individuals with higher self-esteem
have more intimacy – so getting on a roll may just create a positive cycle of
wanting more intimacy.
11) Intimacy fights pain: Having intimacy releases endorphins –
which are the body’s natural pain-killers – individuals have reported relief
from headaches, arthritis pain, minor aches and pains, and menstrual cramps
after having intimacy.
12) Intimacy may protect against
prostate cancer: The Journal
of American Medical Association published an article finding that men who got
off 21 or more times per month were less likely to get prostate cancer compared
to men who only released 4-7 times per month. Though other health factors
certainly influence one’s risk, frequent relations appears to reduce the
chances by some margin.
13) Intimacy encourages sleep: Many people find that they dose
right off to sleep after intimacy; this happens because the oxytocin released
promotes relaxation and induces sleepiness. Crashing out post-intimacy is all
well and good, just be sure to satisfy all parties involved to prevent bad
feelings and assure that both people get a good night’s sleep.
Priming
the Male Organ for Intimacy
Now
that there are 13 scientifically backed reason to get it on more regularly, a
tune up of the male organ care routine may be in order. A little male organ TLC can go a long
way toward a healthy intimate life. Simply
wash the area gently with soap and water, pat dry and apply a male
organ vitamin cream to the
area while it is still slightly damp (most
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil). A male organ vitamin cream, loaded
with essential vitamins and minerals, will help keep the skin supple and smooth
while fighting odor causing bacteria and eliminating unsightly bumps and
rashes, which can occur from too much bacteria. Daily application can help keep the
male organ fresh and ready to go – whatever the reason to be intimate may be that day.
