We’ve all heard the saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but what do you do if you’re not all that into fruit? According to some recent studies, an orgasm a day can provide you with some wonderful health benefits.
Certainly, you should improve your diet and get plenty of exercise, but all of these things aren’t especially thrilling. Fortunately, with an almighty orgasm, you can add a little flavor to your daily health routine.
Here are just a few of the ways in which regular orgasms can benefit you:
- Improve your pelvic floor strength
- Help to prevent cervical and urinary tract infections
- Promote a better sleeping pattern by releasing oxytocin and dopamine
- Increase your cardiovascular health
- Combat those menstrual pains
- Burn up to 100 calories in one sitting
- Relieve some of that stress
- Have a little fun
- Bring you and your partner together
- A boost in self-esteem
Help yourself
If you are reading this and you aren’t in a relationship and have not been having regular sex, then don’t panic. Your relationship status does not dictate whether or not you are able to have an orgasm on a daily basis – in that regard your fate is quite literally in your own hands.
For those of you who struggle to bring yourself to orgasm, there are alternative solutions. For example, you can buy sex toys in Australia to help you along with the process. It’s for medicinal purposes after all…
If you are in a relationship it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are highly sexually active. Again, this isn’t an issue. The average adult has sex 54 times a year and in some relationships that number can be higher or lower. But just because you aren’t having sex every single day it doesn’t mean that you should dip out on having your daily orgasm. Help yourself!
Missing out isn’t unhealthy
Of course, just because an orgasm a day can provide you with a wide variety of health benefits, it doesn’t mean that missing out on regular climax is bad for your health. Think of having an orgasm as enjoying a nice hot bath: you can live without one, but having one every day can only improve your life.
No more shame
For some people, sex and masturbation are overshadowed by shame, even if in their subconscious. The fact is when you remind yourself that both sex and masturbation are perfectly natural – and indeed good for you – you’ll soon be able to let go of any underlying feelings of shame and self-doubt. Science said so!
Through regular climax, over time you may begin to notice your feelings of self-worth improve as well. It’s just another means of taking care of your body, and your body is a temple.
Take it from the experts
Stanford-trained neuroscientist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin is a great advocate of the big O:
“Orgasm is a naturally powerful physiological process. In orgasm, essentially all systems of the brain are highly activated, including the insula, amygdala, and somatosensory cortex.”
