Is it really true that sex has a certain influence on the immune system, and therefore on the body's resistance? Usually, sex is not seen that way, but it has to do with health.

When we talk about sex, we talk about poses, we try to define good and bad sex. Or we are too embarrassed to even start a topic. The connection between sex and health rarely comes up.

Most people already know that sex can be a form of light exercise (depending on the situation and position), but it can also affect other areas, from endurance to sleep, he writes. active.si.

During sex, the body and mind are connected in a special way, so the brain starts to release the hormone oxytocin (which is responsible for well-being), dopamine (the hormone of happiness) and other hormones that are released precisely during sexual relations. That's why sex is a good release valve for the stress you face every day. It also connects you and your partner even more intimately and deepens your relationship.

Hormones are especially secreted during orgasm, regardless of how you achieve it, so your sleep will be quality and sound.

For women, orgasms can help improve bladder control and relieve menstrual cramps.

For men, sex can help regulate blood pressure levels, which is also good for the heart.

People who often have sex are said to have more antibodies in their body, which are part of the immune system, which means better defense against viruses and bacteria.

But there is one condition: all these good consequences will befall you only if you enjoy sexual relations and consider them to be of good quality. Quality is important, not quantity.
