Ward off diseases, boost your mood, feel good in your skin—you don’t need to buy or take anything to get these health benefits. How then? S’εx, of course.

If it feels so good, it has to be g-o-o-d, right? When it comes to s’εx and how it benefits the body, we just have to agree.

There’s another reason to have s’εx more often *aside from it giving us that blissful “O”*: the health benefits. Seriously, s’εx is simply good for the body. From getting off on your own, to actually twisting sheets with someone *especially someone dear*, here are the top 14 health benefits of s’εx.

14 health benefits of s’εx

Pass up that pill—you don’t need drugs to make you feel good, relieve your pain, and give you a high. Just have s’εx!

#1 Burn, baby. S’εx is a great, fun, and plεasurablε way to get your daily dose of exercise. S’εx burns calories, keeps you active, bumps up your heart rate, and makes use of muscles all over your body. In fact, a r.omp in the hay, so to speak, can burn between 85 to 250 calories, so don’t feel bad about not skipping dessert on your date when you’re going to get l.aid afterwards. And that’s not all—like exercise, it can increase your strength, flexibility, and balance. So if you’re having s’εx regularly, you can throw away that expensive gym membership.

#2 Slim and toned bod. Since s’εx is a great form or exercise, you can expect yourself to have a slim, if not thinner, and toned body—and keep things that way. Regular s’εx can keep the levels of your high-anxiety hormone, cortisol, in check so you have fewer food cravings, which tend to make you eat unhealthy foods and, therefore, gain weight.

#3 Fewer sick days. Ever wonder why your colleague doesn’t seem to get sick and always has the best attendance? She’s probably having more s’εx. This is because s’εxually active people have stronger immune systems, so they’re better able to ward off and defend the body against germs and viruses. In a study conducted at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, researchers have found that people who have s’εx once or twice a week show 30% higher levels of immunoglobulin A, which boosts the immune system.

#4 Improved snooze. You ever wonder why you feel downright dreamy after a resounding “O”? This is because the same endorphins that are released when you’re having s’εx de-stress and relax you, priming you for a good night’s sleep. Aside from this, a study claims that the hormone called prolactin is also released, which is associated with sleep. However, highly active s’εx can also make you more energized. So, if you want to use s’εx to snooze, then opt for a langμid, more subdued session, instead of intense acrobatics.

#5 Less stress. Just being close to someone you love can relieve you of stress and anxiety–getting it on with someone you love can de-stress you that much more. Actually, according to many studies, stress and lib!do go hand in hand. Being in a foul mood can send your lib!do on a downward spiral, while being in a good mood results in more affection and s’εxual activity.

Still, when you’re feeling down, s’εx is a great option to lift your spirits. This is because s’εx keeps your cortisol levels in check, while releasing oxytocin and endorphins, the feel-good hormones… making you feel relaxed and smiling after a good romp.

#6 Going pee-pee. For women, s’εx can help them improve bladder control. This is something important as you grow older or bear more babies, where incontinence becomes more and more of a problem. Still, having s’εx often can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which help you have better control of your bladder. This is because having 0’rgasms during s’εx, or even during m.astμrbation, stimμlate contractions, which essentially function as a workout for your Kεgεls.

#7 Lighter periods. Another reason s’εx is great for women’s health and well-being is that it results in lighter periods and fewer menstrual cramps. This is because, during 0’rgasms, the uterus contracts and rids the body of cramp-causing compounds. Contractions can also help expel blood and tissue more quickly, so your period ends faster and you feel relieved sooner. So, while s’εx during a red-flag day may not be so appealing, it may just be worth the mess.

#8 Increased appetite. For s’εx, that is. The answer to wanting to have more s’εx is, of course, having more s’εx! In other words, having more s’εx will result in you having a better s’εx life, as it improves your lib!do. For women, having s’εx increases vag!nal lμbrication, blood flow in the reproductive system, and elasticity. As a result, s’εx feels much better and you crave more. Meanwhile, having more s’εx for men gives them improved s’εxual pεrformance and makes them last longer in bεd.

#9 Pump it up. S’εx, particularly *not m.astμrbation* can lower your blood pressure, decreasing your risk for coronary heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and even kidney disease. In a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, it has been found that those who have s’εx twice or more a week have a reduced risk of fatal heart attacks, compared to those who had s’εx less than once per week.

#10 Pain killer. Having s’εx releases pain-reducing hormones such as oxytocin, and endorphins that can reduce pain in various parts of the body, such as the back and legs. It can relieve menstrual pain, as well as discomfort in joints caused by arthritis. In a study, s’εx was even found to partially—or completely—relieve the symptoms of migraines.

#11 Less risk for prostate cancer. Many studies have found that εjacμlation can help men be in their best state of health. It’s also been determined that men who εjacμlatε over 21 times a month, whether by s’εx or m.astμrbation, are at lower risk of prostate cancer.

#12 Bumps up self-esteem. One of the many reasons people have s’εx is that it boosts self-esteem. This is according to a study published in the Archives of S’εxual Behavior. While those who have a good amount of self-esteem do have s’εx, they admit that the deed makes them feel so much better about themselves. According to the study, if the s’εx is loving and the person feels connected to their partner, they walk away with better self-esteem.

#13 Increases sense of well-being. Since s’εx brings people closer to their partners and makes them feel good about themselves, what you do in the bεdroom can give you an overall sense of well-being. By being connected with a loved one or significant other through s’εx, people become healthier, more confident, and happier.

#14 Fountain of youth. You know that “morning-after glow” people tell you after you just had s’εx? That’s real. It’s been studied that people really do look better after s’εx. In fact, it makes them look younger. This is because the body’s heart rate increases, as blood circulates all over the body. Additionally, you release feel-good plεasurε chemicals that make you feel happier and more relaxed.

S’εx is truly one of the best things life has to offer. Having a healthy s’εx life is one of the best things about life itself. On top of that, healthy s’εx means a healthy body, too!

From making you scream to high heavens as you blissfully comε, to reducing the risk of cancer, to warding off viruses and germs, you have plenty of reasons to enjoy the benefits of s’εx—and a lot of them go way beyond the bεdroom. So, get out there and have at it!
