Looking to get fit, clear your skin, boost your heart health and lighten your mood?Have more sex. According to the advice of two mental health and exercise experts at Curtin University.
Their new analysis of sexual health studies, the researchers claim
consensual sex releases crucial hormones to improve mental and physical
well-being.
Pivotal to this health-boosting process is the feeling of trust, love, and affection that sexual partners feel.
'A
regular sex experience with our partner, that's positive, is going to
facilitate a connection,' Professor Matt Tilley, a sexual health
lecturer at Curtin University, explains to ScienceNetwork West Australia.
'When we
look at the function that those hormones might have then we can see that
they assist to reduce stress, and of course endorphins specifically
might act like a natural anti-depressant.
