Aside from being great for various reasons, sex also has many benefits. While many people think that it’s not necessary to have sex every day, there are actually several benefits to having sex that are not related to orgasms.
Having sex every day can help you feel better and have more fun. If you can’t afford to have sex every day, try to have at least two or three sexual encounters a week.
Most of these benefits can be attributed to orgasms alone, which is why you don’t have to be concerned if you don’t have a partner to reap those benefits.
Just how common is this?
Contrary to popular belief, daily sex isn’t as common as it used to be.
A survey conducted in 2017 revealed that only around four percent of adults said that they had sex daily. The survey was focused on intercourse.
A study conducted in 2020 by Tenga revealed that more people are regularly masturbating on a daily basis. The survey also found that about 13 percent of individuals engage in solo play.
Why you should have daily sex
There are no valid reasons to convince someone to start having sex on a daily basis other than the pleasure it brings. Here are a few emotional and physical excuses that will convince you to have sex.
1. It connects you as a couple
People tend to get frustrated if they’re not having enough sex. It’s not just the selfish partner’s absence of orgasm that causes this, as oxytocin can also trigger feelings of exaggerated love.
Having sex can help strengthen a couple’s connection. It can also create a bond that goes beyond just being able to orgasm. Having sex every day can boost the level of affection that you have in your relationship.
2. It’s good for your heart
It’s true, as a study revealed that having sex several times a week can lower the risk of heart disease.
3. It’s great exercise
Although it’s not always clear what exactly sexercise is, having sex is still a great way to burn calories. To get in shape, try performing various challenging positions such as The Kneel, which involves sitting on one knee.
Having sex every day can make your bond with one another even stronger. While you can always start hitting the gym, having sex every day can help strengthen the connection between you and your partner.
4. Say goodbye to prostate cancer!
According to a study conducted by the American Association of Medical Colleges, having orgasm every day can lower the likelihood of prostate cancer. It’ll also benefit you as long as you’re still coming.
5. A cure for the common cold?
Although it’s not exactly a cure for the common cold, having sex can help boost the levels of an antibody that’s important for fighting off infections.
6. Perfect for period cramps
It’s true that many women are horny during their period, and having an orgasm can help reduce period cramps.
This can be caused by various factors, such as the tension involved in climaxing or the sheer pleasure that they feel during their period. Either way, having sex at that time of month can be a great win-win for both of you.
7. Feeling stressed? Get it on!
Having sex can help relieve stress. It can also trigger the release of a certain chemical in the brain that’s known as the love drug oxytocin. This drug can help reduce the feelings of anxiety and depression.
If you’re feeling stressed out due to work, your kids, or any other issues in your life, having sex can help relieve some of the stress. After having sex, you’ll both be able to come out of the bedroom feeling refreshed and ready to start living the life of your dreams.
8. You’ll sleep like a baby
For men, reaching the big O can tire them out, which can lead to an amazing amount of deep sleep. Having sex can also help relax the body, as it can release a hormone known as prolactin. If you’re hoping to get the assurance of having great night, make sure that you set aside some pre-bedtime lovin’.
9. Improves bladder control in women
Having sex can strengthen and improve a woman’s pelvic floor, which can help prevent incontinence and other issues that can occur after childbirth, such as the so-called “sneeze-squirt.” They can also perform pelvic floor exercises with orgasmic contractions.
10. Sex makes you look 10x younger
According to David Weeks’ book “Secrets of the Superyoung,” having sex can make you look younger, as it can release hormones that balance out the levels of estrogen and testosterone in your body. This can help keep your skin looking young and supple.
11. It can improve sexual function
Practicing sex can help improve your sexual performance. Having sex can enhance one’s sexual functioning. This applies to both solo and partnered sex. Having sex can make it easier to achieve orgasms and orgasms that are more intense.
12. Sex can put you in a good mood
Although sex may bring some happiness, there are also biological reasons why it’s good for you. Having sex can stimulate a spike in hormones that can help boost feelings of happiness. According to a study conducted in 2006, these effects last for up to a day.
13. Better sexual functioning
Having sex can also improve sexual performance by boosting the production of vaginal lubricant and improving the strength of erections.
Are there any drawbacks to consider?
Although there are some drawbacks to having sex daily, it’s generally considered a pleasurable experience.
If you’re having sex on a regular basis, then you should take into account the various personal risks associated with it.
1. Chafing and other discomfort
Getting too much friction from all that kissing, massaging, and rubbing can leave your skin feeling raw and tender.
Not only could this cause you to have a hard time having sex, but it can also increase the risk of getting infections.
2. Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Having sex frequently with partners or solo can increase the risk of acquiring an infection.
This is especially true if you’re having sex that involves your genitals. Your urethra is located at the center of the action, which can allow bacteria to enter.
3. Not enough time prep or recovery time
Some sexual acts don’t need much preparation prior to or after. However, anal or aggressive sex may not be safe or practical without ample time to prepare. Not enough time can also result in injuries and pain.
Although not all of these benefits are proven to be scientifically accurate, having sex can still be a fun addition to your life. If you’re not able to commit to sex regularly due to your busy schedule, try to put it into your schedule. I’m sure that you’ll be able to reap the benefits of having daily sex.
