We all know the unforgettable and exciting feeling that we
experience when we reach orgasm. However, this culmination of pleasure during
sex is much more than few seconds of pure pleasure. For many centuries,
physicians have been recommending special medicinal massages for the health.
The aim of these massages and activities was to reach orgasm. Recent scientific
studies have confirmed that the claims made by these physicians were true. The
following is a list of health benefits of orgasm.
Orgasms support the immune system
Orgasm provides similar effects like multivitamins. It has
been confirmed that one or two orgasms a week can significantly increase the
level of immunoglobulin A (for up to 30%). In this way we lower the risk of
developing various acute infections and some chronic inflammatory conditions.
Orgasm as a natural analgesic
In case you are experiencing a headache, don’t avoid sex
because sex can help you. Before you take aspirin, try something more natural –
try to achieve an orgasm. This culmination of sexual experience is blocking the
pain by releasing hormones that increase the pain threshold. Masturbation and
sexual intercourse can also reduce arthritis pain, menstrual pain and
headaches.
Speeds up blood circulation in the pelvis
Orgasms support and speed up blood circulation all over the
body and especially in the pelvic area which ultimately leads to numerous
health benefits. First of all, improved blood flow in the pelvis stabilizes the
menstrual cycle and soothes menstrual pain. Improved blood flow brings greater
quantities of oxygen and nutrients in the system. In other words, it indirectly
supports the regeneration of the tissue.
Detoxification
The increased blood supply after an orgasm, leads to
improved work of the lymphatic circulatory system. So, the waste matter from
the circulatory system is eliminated much easier. This special feature is the
reason why expert claim that sex rejuvenates people acting positively on the
tone of the muscles, skin and connective tissue.
Reduces appetite
According to some scientists, the biggest health benefit of
orgasm is its effect on the release of oxytocin also known as the hormone of
happiness, connection and love. This tsunami of love increases the levels of
cholecystokinin or CCK, a hormone directly responsible for the dissolution of
fats and proteins, which is released during meals and gives the brain a signal
that we are full. The production of this hormone is increased during orgasm.
Anticancer effects
It is a well-known fact that stress increases the secretion
of the prolactin hormone. When prolactin levels are high, there is an increased
chance of developing breast cancer, brain tumor, leukemia and few other types
of cancer. Oxytocin which is released in an increased amount during orgasm
reduces the secretion of this hormone which means that orgasms come with
anticancer effects.
Stabilizes estrogen levels
Orgasm leads to perfect stabilization of the ratio between
testosterone, estrogen and it lowers the levels of stress hormone (cortisol)
and thyroid hormones. By practicing sex and achieving orgasms on a regular
basis we can avoid the need for harmful hormonal therapies.
