There are a lot of reasons why people have sex, but many people do it for the pleasure and enjoyment it brings. If your sex life hasn’t been giving you good results in this area, perhaps you’ve tried to sweep your desires under the rug and just be a good partner. To be honest, this isn’t a fair response to either you or your significant other. With all the options available in today's world, there really is no excuse for ignoring the problem.

There are many products on the market that can help you achieve greater satisfaction, such as Scream Cream. With this popular product, you can enjoy increased satisfaction and achieve better orgasms. If you haven’t made yourself a priority in the bedroom, you may be tempted to avoid having sex and sharing moments of intimacy with your partner. Not only can this hurt your relationship, but it can also reduce the benefits that are associated with your health. There isn’t a magic number for how often you should be having sex, but it is safe to assume that the more pleasurable it is, the greater the desire for it. Increased frequency help boost the benefits that you can get from a strong sex life.

1. Improved Immune System

Health experts say that a women's sexual health is related to how healthy the female is overall. In fact, sexually active people reportedly take fewer six days. In a study will college students, those who had sex at least twice a week tested for higher levels of an antibody than those who had sex less frequently. You can also keep your immune system healthy through good eating choices, frequent exercise, getting enough sleep, and staying up to date on your immunizations.

2. Increased Libido

As simple as it sounds, it is true that a more lively and fulfilling sex life will happen the more often you have sex. By increasing the frequency of intercourse, you improve your libido. This help improves a female’s lubrication, increases the blood flow for greater stimulation, and improves elasticity in the vaginal region. All of these things can make sex feel better, which will increase your desire for it.

3. Improved Bladder Control

Working out your pelvic muscles through intercourse will help develop the strength you need to avoid incontinence. Good sex is a workout that targets the pelvic floor and creates more control. When a female has an orgasm, it causes contractions in the floor muscles and strengthens them. As women age or after childbirth, it becomes more important to work on strengthening the floor muscles that have been stretched out.

4. Lower Blood Pressure

Current research suggests a strong tie between lower blood pressure and sex. In a landmark study, frequent intercourse lowered systolic blood pressure. There are several reasons why this might occur, but the increased blood flow and the increase of hormone release can help lower high blood pressure numbers.

5. Extra Exercise

If you haven’t been hitting the gym as often as you like, you are in luck. Sexual activity is great form of exercise. It can’t completely replace a full workout, but on average, sex burns about five calories per more. It also requires muscle activity, and it boosts your heart rate. When compared sitting around and watching tv, this is definitely what you can consider a healthy alternative. As with any exercise program, consistency brings the best results.

6. Reduced Risk of Heart Attack

In addition to raising your heart rate, sex helps keep your estrogen level more consistent and balanced. If your levels are low, you at greater risk for things like heart disease or osteoporosis.

7. Reduced Pain

If you suffer from chronic pain, you might find some relief in an orgasm. During an orgasm, your body releases a hormone that can help your pain threshold. However, sometimes stimulation without orgasm can also help. Vaginal stimulation has been shown to help block leg and back pain, and some women advocate for self-stimulation as helpful in reducing menstrual cramps and even headaches.

When you bring pleasure and excitement back into the bedroom, you do more than just make your partner happy. Your own personal enjoyment is necessary if you want to increase your interest and desire for sex, but this is just the start of the benefits. The health benefits that accompany frequent intercourse are invaluable to your overall lifestyle and body. If you want to pursue ways to make your sex life more enjoyable, consider products like Scream Cream.
