Sex is good for you. It boosts your immune system, your mental health and physical health. In case you needed any more excuses, here are five reasons for lesbians to have sex tonight.
1. It burns calories.
Having sex burns about four calories per minute. A 30 minute romp will burn 120 calories. About as much as in a granola bar or two cups of cheese popcorn.
2. Sex is good for your immune system.
A study at Wilkes University found that students who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of immunoglobulin, an antibody that can help protect against colds and infections.
3. Sex reduces stress.
When you’re stressed out about work, money and the kids, the last thing you probably want to do is have sex. But actually, doing so may be the best thing for you. A study in Scotland found that people who have regular sex have lower blood pressure and stress reduction than those who don’t.
4. Sex brings you closer.
When you have an orgasm, you increase the hormone oxytocin, the so-called love hormone, which makes you feel good and can make you feel closer to your partner.
5. Sex with penetration strengthens your pelvic muscles.
These muscles are the ones that help prevent urinary incontinence as we age.
<p>Of course there are health risks with sex too, be sure to practice safer sex to prevent HIV and sexually transmitted diseases.
