Did you know that having regular sex can make you look and feel more beautiful? It may sound too good to be true, but the science is sound. You see, with an increase in oestrogen which is released through orgasms and the physical act of having sex can promote healthier skin, hair and your overall aging process. Not convinced? Read on to find out more.
Orgasms promote healthy skin and hair vitality
Studies show that women who are sexually active (including solo play) typically have much higher levels of oestrogen in their bodies. Again, this is due to the fact that those hormone levels increase during orgasm. But what’s so special about having an increase in oestrogen?
Oestrogen is essential for the day to day functioning of your skin, blood vessels, hair follicles, oil glands and melanocytes. Who knew your skin and the hair-care regime could feel so good?
Less stress and fewer wrinkles
Stress and wrinkles are two very dirty words – and not the good kind. Fortunately – as orgasms also release oxytocin in your body – climaxing regularly can help to significantly reduce your stress levels. And while you are laid there feeling great about life in general; less stress means lower cortisol levels which leads to less breakdown in collagen and elastin resulting in fewer wrinkles. Multiple orgasms indeed.
Sex makes you glow
Sex is great for burning calories and boosting the release of nitric oxide in your body. This helps to promote stronger blood flow and oxygen throughout your system which is what leads to that healthy after-sex glow. Of course, if you genuinely start to glow – as in radiating light – then you may want to pay a quick visit to your doctor.
Sex can speed up the healing process
If you’ve always struggled with acne and dark spots, then you’ll be pleased to learn that regular sex can help promote wound healing, including lesions from acne. This is linked to the fact that sex is great for lowering your stress levels which could otherwise impair collagen synthesis and repair.
Keep those symptoms of menopause at bay
Many of you won’t need to worry about this for some time yet – but for those of you who are approaching menopause, did you know that having regular sex can help you to manage its symptoms? You see, your levels of oestrogen will naturally drop during menopause, which is why it helps to have regular orgasms in order to increase its production. Without the influence of oestrogen to help produce hyaluronic acid and collagen, your skin will begin to lose its firmness and sag. Never mind anti-wrinkle cream; shop sex toys online and get yourself plenty of lube instead.
Feel better in your own skin
It’s not just the physiological benefits that make regular orgasms important, but the psychological benefits too. Spending more time with your naked body and pleasuring yourself can play a vital role in increasing your confidence and feelings of self-worth. If you want to feel better in your own skin and start enjoying sex more, then you should start having more sex! It’s a fairly simple formula and one that will leave you feeling and looking amazing, inside and out.
