Let’s chat about how to sex your way to great health. Sounds kind of crazy, right?! But this is the real deal. Sex is an incredibly fun part of life. (That is if you’re doing it with the right person). Sex is everywhere we look, you can’t get it out of your life. It can be a healthy part of your relationship or it can be an unhealthy part of your life. We often see people coming out in the media when they’ve made a mistake in their relationships, saying that they have a sex addiction. Since I am in the mental health field I can tell you that there are people who suffer from this sort of addiction. But today, I am going to discuss the fun stuff with you.

Disclaimer:

I do want to clear something up about sex. We all know that there is a dark side to sex so I want to leave you with this disclaimer. NEVER let anyone FORCE you into having SEX. That’s called rape and by no means should this happen. Also, you want to practice safe sex especially if you have a partner who you don’t trust or are not in a committed relationship. I’m all about educating you about sex not promoting STDs OR STIs and definitely not rape. Now that I’ve said that let’s get down to business.

How Often Should You Have Sex?

The amount of sex and types of sex depends on each couple. Everyone has their own preferences. Some people want to be more exploratory than others. While some people just enjoy the act and don’t need anything special. I encourage you to explore sex in different ways, it might change your life.

How often a couple has sex is totally up to them. Life does get you busy and at times our sex life can get neglected. Talk to your partner and the two of you should come up with a frequency that will work for you. Some people might be so busy that they will need to schedule a time for sex. This doesn’t sound as romantic as spontaneity but it may work for them. On the flip side, it can be romantic because when you know that day is coming around you are going to have the sex you have been waiting for. Another component that the couple will have to deal with is if they have different libidos.

With all that considered this is what I have to say. I would say try to have sex at least once a week. This is just to play it safe and make sure you are having sex. Like I mentioned before you have to discuss what the two of you are comfortable with. For instance, if you are a couple that has a lot of years between your ages both of your libidos may be different. One person might want to have sex all the time while the other person doesn’t need to have it that often. You have to come up with some sort of compromise so both parties are happy as well as satisfied.

Relational Benefits of Sex

Sex is more than just fun it has benefits for your relationship. You may already know this little tidbit but I wanted to share this with you. Having sex frequently can do wonders for your relationship. It can bring the two of you together emotionally. Sex was created for a couple to make a deeper connection with one another. You may have connections emotionally and be great friends but when sex is added to the mix your connection is deeper.

By having sex frequently you are making your commitment to each other stronger. I mean who wants to see the person they’re in a relationship with tossing it around for other people? I know I don’t, so this can help your commitment get stronger. Along with your commitment, your emotions can become deeper for one another.

Sex is an expression of love, no wonder emotions get deeper. Have you ever seen those couples who look like they can finish each other’s sentences and they’re so touchy-feely, lovey-dovey with each other? Guess what that’s because they are having awesome sex ALL THE TIME.

Physical Benefits of Sex

We all know that when you’re doing it right, sex is amazing!! What’s better than having amazing sex? Finding out what the physical benefits of sex are. With all that activity of moving up and down, switching positions will keep you in shape. You know back when we were in our 20s and having a bunch of sex, our bodies were svelt. Our parents were telling us to slow down but we were actually doing something beneficial to our bodies. Sex is like exercising. If you suffer from physical problems like those that I described in my post about Fibromyalgia, sex can help loosen you up.

The American Heart Association stated that sex is comparable to moderate physical activities like climbing two flights of stairs. For women, the act of sex can tighten your abdomen and pelvic floor. The benefit for everyone is it can boost your immune system, reduce pain, and dilate blood vessels to let oxygen flow freely through your body. Not to mention it can lower blood pressure. Some people have even reported that they have whiter teeth, healthy glowing skin and improves the digestive system. Sex can make you extremely healthy. Why wouldn’t you want to do it more?

Psychological Benefits

Needless to say, sex can make you super happy. There were times when I would spin out. I became erratic, irritable but it was nothing that a good roll in the hay couldn’t solve. Am I the only one that this has happened to? Crickets…be honest…ok moving on. LOL!

Sex is a great stress reliever. How is that possible? Well, it can lower hormones related to stress called cortisol and adrenaline. Another benefit that sex has on you is it releases endorphins and oxytocin. These chemicals can make you feel good and keep you calm. One last benefit that we can all use a dose of is a better self-image. When you are consistently having sex it will make you feel sexy. The fact that someone finds you insatiable just boosts your self-esteem right up. That’s the amazing thing about sex with a great partner.

Sex is such an integral part of life. Yes, when you get down to the nuts and bolts of sex it is purely for reproduction. But, God created it for more than just that. This is my opinion but, when it comes to sex you are communicating with the innermost parts of your emotions, and body. That is part of the reason why you have a yearning for your partner when you go a long time without that connection. So get out there and have lots of great sex!

1 Corinthians 7:5 NCV Do not refuse to give your bodies to each other unless you both agree to stay away from sexual relations for a time so you can give your time to prayer.
