Unfortunately, depression can take away one of the most enjoyable activities due to lack of sex drive or of feelings that you are less than a sexual being.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just the act of sex that is an antidepressant either, semen contains a lot of happy juices including mood elevating <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Estrogen\">estrogen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Oxytocin\">oxytocin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cortisol\">cortisol<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Melatonin\">melatonin<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/script\/main\/art.asp?articlekey=5790\">thyrotropin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Serotonin\">serotonin<\/a>. So why not let the juices flow and enjoy the pleasures of sex.<\/p>\n<p>2. <b>The Big O Can Boost the Immune System <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it wonderful that something that is so enjoyable can actually<a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-899 alignright\" alt=\"orgasm 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-3.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-3.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> boost our immune system?! There is a strong correlation between orgasms and mortality rates for those who orgasm two or more times a week can add up to 8 years on their life. Apparently, it boosts the immune system improving your heart health and brain power. This will not only make you feel younger but look younger as well.<\/p>\n<p>3. <b>People Who Orgasm 4 or More Times a Week Look up to 7 Years Younger<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Continuing on with looking younger, studies have found those who have more orgasms looked younger. A vigorous sex life, is the second-most important determinant of how young a person looked. Only physical activity can prove more important than sex in keeping aging at bay, certain types of sex kills two birds with one stone!<\/p>\n<p>4.<b> <\/b><b>Orgasms Relieve both Stress &amp; Pain<\/b><\/p>\n<p>What better way to relieve any aches, pains and stresses of the day than to have a bit of a romp or simply having a bit of some alone fun and masturbate. The old adage of, \u201cI have a headache\u201d, is really not a good excuse as it has been studied that enjoying some sexual activity and orgasming can take away the headache and leave you feeling better than ever.<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0 <b>Orgasms Get Better with Age<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Is it because as we age we become more confident with our bodies or is it because we just know what we want?! By the time you become a certain age you don\u2019t want to be pretending that your lover is doing a great job, if they aren\u2019t simply show them what you want. Who has the time to waste when there is so much fun to be enjoyed. We can call them one of the joys of getting older.<\/p>\n<p>6. <b>Men and Women\u2019s Orgasms are More In Sync than You\u2019d Think<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Most couples tend not to orgasm together during coitus, with the vast majority of females, 69%, stating they\u2019ve never or rarely orgasm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-897\" alt=\"orgasm 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-1.jpg\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" \/><\/a>from intercourse alone while 75% of males do, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/lelo.htm\">LELO<\/a> global survey. It\u2019s widely known more than two thirds of all women prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Clitoris\">clitoral<\/a> stimulation to achieve an orgasm, but did you know that when men and women do reach climax, their orgasmic contractions both occur at 0.8 second intervals. Mind boggling!<\/p>\n<p>7. <b>You Can Train Yourself to Have a Better Orgasm<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The muscles that contract during orgasm are a hammock-like structure that supports your pelvic organs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=kegel\">Kegel<\/a> exercises train this set of muscles, and offer well-known benefits such as better bladder control. However both women and men can increase the intensity and frequency of orgasms by performing regular Kegels as well!<\/p>\n<p>Your intimate muscles are like any other muscle: their power and efficiency improve with a regular work out. It doesn\u2019t need to be a long, tiring, training regimen. You can begin right now, wherever you are: just squeeze your Kegel muscles for 10 seconds and release, then start again as many times as you want throughout the day<\/p>\n<p>8. <b>Orgasms Help Tackle Insomnia<\/b><\/p>\n<p>While sleepiness after orgasm is more associated with men than women, it can actually similarly affect both sexes. As stated above, our brains release a cocktail of chemicals upon climax, which include oxycotin and vasopressin. These chemicals are associated with releases of melatonin, which help regulate your sleep. And, of course, orgasms soothe anxieties and better prepare you for a solid night\u2019s rest.<\/p>\n<p>9.\u00a0<b><\/b><b>It\u2019s Great for Your Skin &amp; Hair<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It makes you glow, so much so that beauty companies around the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-898\" alt=\"orgasm 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-2-300x190.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-2-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/orgasm-2.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>world have been trying to mimic this effect for years and of course not succeeded.
