By Janine Hughes


While some may ridicule the idea of intercourse having any real health benefits, the truth is quite the opposite. The mind, body and spirit can all benefit from engaging in intercourse and there is sufficient evidence gathered through extensive studies and research to prove it. The healing power of sex, whether it is a casual fling or intercourse throughout a deeper relationship, is undeniable and can definitely help towards relieving a number of symptoms and physical ailments.

You can boost your immunity by having sexual intercourse.

Students in a Wilkes University study who engaged in sexual activity were actually shown to have higher levels of a specific antibody than those who were not having sex.

If you are a woman, then you should know that engaging in sexual activity is a great way to keep your body youthful and vibrant well past a certain age.

You can also help to improve the elasticity of the region, which is great news if you have recently given birth or if you are experiencing any change such as menopause.

If you suffer from any type of physical pain, either long term or otherwise, you can help to relieve that pain right now.

Having trouble sleeping? Having sex will help to relax you and sleep will come much more easily.

Having intercourse can be just as beneficial physically as exercising. Of course, sexual activity targets a number of various muscle groups throughout the body, especially when using a number of different positions and having intercourse at different speeds. This is a great way to save some money by eliminating the need for a gym membership in order to get in a great workout!

One major benefit of having intercourse is to relieve tension and more importantly, help with depression. During intercourse, the body releases more endorphins, which are essential to feeling good. This is why post coitus, feelings of relaxation and happiness are multiplied.

Sexual intercourse is one of the best stress relievers out there. With stress being such a leading cause of heart disease and even cancer, it is important that it is reduced overall on a daily basis in a person's life. Because sexual intercourse helps to reduce stress by releasing endorphins and promoting healthy exercise, the post coital relaxation allows the individual to easily fall asleep, thereby allowing the body to make any necessary reparations and rejuvenate for better productivity when it wakes up.

You can also use sex as a way to heal your relationship. In cases where couples had distanced themselves from one another, for whatever reason, having regular sex allowed them to find their way back to one another.
