Why you should have sex everyday

Improves cardiovascular health 
A recent study says that men who have sex more than twice a week, have a lesser risk of getting a heart attack, than men who had sex less than once a month.

Increases immunity 
Regular lovemaking increases the level of the immune-boosting antibody immunoglobulin A (IgA), which in turn makes your body stronger against illnesses like the common cold and fever.

Reduces stress 
Stressed out with work or family problems? Don't let it affect your performance in the bedroom. Not only will having sex improve your mood, but a study has also proven that folks, who indulge in regular bedroom activities can handle stress better and are happier people.

Relieves pain
If you're using a headache as an excuse to not make love, stop doing that. Have sex instead, because, when you're about to have an orgasm, the level of the hormone oxytocin increases by five times. This endorphin actually reduces aches and pains.

Promotes longevity 
When one has an orgasm, a hormone called de-hydroepiandrosterone is released. This improves immunity, repairs tissue and keeps the skin healthy. Men, who have at least two orgasms a week, live longer than men who have sex just once every few weeks.

Increases blood circulation 
Because your heart rate increases when you have sex, fresh blood is supplied to your organs and cells. While used blood is removed, the body also expels toxins and other materials that cause you to feel tired.

You sleep better 
The sleep that you get just after you've made love will be much more relaxed. Getting a good night's sleep will make you feel alert and overall healthy.

Improves overall fitness 
If you find going to the gym mundane or working out at home a task, here's another way to help you lose the flab and keep in shape. Regular sex will do wonders for your waistline. Half an hour of lovemaking burns more than 80 calories.

Increases levels of Oestrogen and e 
In men, the hormone testosterone is what makes them more passionate in the sack. Not only will it make you feel way better in bed, but it also improves your muscles and bones, keeps your heart healthy and keeps a check on your cholesterol. In women, on the other hand, the hormone oestrogen protects them against heart disease and also determines a woman's body scent.

Sexual Dysfunction

What can cause it ?

Causes of sexual problems vary from person to person — What is a problem for one person might be okay for another. It’s only a concern if it is causing distress for you. Magazine articles and TV shows can sometimes lead us to believe otherwise, but sexual health is a very individual thing and you must be guided by your own feelings. If you are bothered by an issue related to your sex life, it is important to consider the following types of factors:

Biological causes — Healthy sexuality depends on your body: nerves, hormones and blood flow must all function properly. Problems with any of these can lead to dysfunction. For example, side­effects from medication may be associated with up to 25 per cent of sexual c
oncerns. Pelvic surgery may have a direct or indirect effect on sexual health. There are also certain conditions which can cause pain during sex (such as dyspareunia and vaginismus). Some medical illnesses can affect sexual function, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and thyroid disorders. The menopause transition often has an impact on your sexuality.

Psychological causes — There are many lifestyle and health issues that may affect a woman’s level of interest in sex. Past sexual trauma, a mood disorder, stress, fatigue and medication can have an impact on your desire. Treatment of depression often contributes to decreased desire, especially if certain kinds of medication are prescribed.

Relationship factors — The level of intimacy, your partner’s sexual interest and function, as well as your partner’s physical and mental health, can have an impact on your sexual interest and function.

Social and cultural causes — Cultural and religious attitudes may affect a woman’s sense of her sexual self and the meaning she attaches to being sexual.

Is it normal not to want to have sex?

When a woman loses sexual desire entirely, it is sometimes diagnosed as hypoactivesexual desire disorder. Generally, low sexual desire, low arousal, and orgasmic difficulties are more likely to happen amongst postmenopausal women. If low desire is causing stress for you or your partner, the next step is to talk to your doctor about what might be causing the problem.

Healthy Sex Life

What is a Healthy Sex Life?

It’s normal to have questions about it.

Every woman is sexual in her own way. What makes you feel good – how much desire you feel, and how often, or what type of activities you enjoy – will be different for everyone.

It’s common to have questions about whether your sex life is normal, but it can be hard to talk about. Surveys show that up to half of all women have concerns about their sexual health; however, many are too embarrassed or uneasy to bring the subject up with their doctors, nurses or midwives.

Many factors can affect your sexual health

It’s normal for sexual activity and habits to change throughout your life.

There are many factors which influence how you feel, both mentally and physically:

Your personality
Your religious beliefs
Your social and cultural background
Your physical health, including changes such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause
Your mental health and stress
Your relationship with your partner
The health of your partner
Your living situation
Change isn’t necessarily bad

What used to be normal for you may change as you age or start a new phase of life. For example, many women notice that their desire for sex changes, or that they have sex less frequently, as they get older. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing: decreased desire or frequency doesn’t always mean decreased satisfaction. If you are still enjoying your sexual activity, it’s okay that it’s different.

What if I’m not happy?

If a decrease in desire or frequency – or whatever type of change you are experiencing – is distressing, you might be experiencing sexual dysfunction. Your health-care provider can help.

Sexual dysfunction is a term that refers to a wide array of conditions or issues that might be negatively affecting your sexual health and activity.
