WebMD: 10 Surprising Health Benefits of Sex

Togetherness Most of these are intuitive, but with so many uptight types in the US I thought I’d post what most doctors will tell you about the subject:

"When you’re in the mood, it’s a sure bet that the last thing on your mind is boosting your immune system or maintaining a healthy weight. Yet good sex offers those health benefits and more.

That’s a surprise to many people, says Joy Davidson, PhD, a New York psychologist and sex therapist. "Of course, sex is everywhere in the media," she says. "But the idea that we are vital, sexual creatures is still looked at in some cases with disgust or in other cases a bit of embarrassment. So to really take a look at how our sexuality adds to our life and enhances our life and our health, both physical and psychological, is eye-opening for many people."

Sex does a body good in a number of ways, according to Davidson and other experts. The benefits aren’t just anecdotal or hearsay — each of these 10 health benefits of sex is backed by scientific scrutiny." Read more…

I just sayin’…  :o)

    In my opinion, I don’t think that the problem is so many uptight people, but sex therapists wanting more customers.  😉  Can’t think what could be more naturally than havin sex.

    Allow me to correct that…Can’t think what could be more natural than having sex…except for maybe eating food.  You have to learn to do both with respect for yourself and others.
