The benefits of the marital relationship are not limited to satisfying the sexual desire of the man or woman only, but it also brings a range of amazing benefits to the health of the body.
In the following lines, the “Consulto” explains the health benefits of having a marital relationship, according to the “Webmd” website.
1- Strengthen the immune system
People who have sex have higher levels of antibodies to germs and viruses. Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that people who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of antibodies compared to students who exercised less.
2- Enhance sexual desire
The practice of marital relationship will increase the sexual desire of the person.
For women, having sex increases vaginal lubrication, blood flow, and flexibility, all of which can increase sexual desire.
3- Increased bladder control in women
A strong pelvic floor is important for avoiding incontinence, which affects regarding 30% of women at some point in their lives.
A good marital relationship is an exercise for the pelvic floor muscles, and when a woman is having an orgasm, contractions occur in those muscles, thus strengthening them.
4- Lowering blood pressure
Research suggests a link between having sex and lower blood pressure, with one notable study finding that sex specifically lowers systolic blood pressure.
5- Reducing the risk of heart attacks
A good sex life is good for heart health. Having a sexual relationship helps maintain the balance of estrogen and testosterone levels in the body. When one of them is low, the risk of many health problems, such as osteoporosis and heart disease, increases.
6- Reducing pain
Orgasm can relieve pain, as the body then secretes a hormone that helps form pain, especially chronic back and leg pain in women, as well as menstrual cramps, arthritis pain, and even headaches in some cases.
7- Reducing the risk of prostate cancer
According to one study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, those men who had sex frequently “at least 21 times a month” were less likely to develop prostate cancer.
8-Improve sleep quality
It is possible to fall asleep more quickly following having sex, as following reaching orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released, which is responsible for feelings of relaxation and drowsiness.
9- Reducing stress
Being close to a marital partner can calm stress and anxiety, as hugging can cause the body to release the feel-good hormone, and sexual arousal releases a chemical in the brain that further improves brain health.
An intimate marital relationship can enhance a husband or wife’s self-esteem.
