The benefits of the marital relationship are not limited to satisfying the sexual desire of the man or woman, but also bring a number of incredible benefits to the health of the body.
In the following lines, the “Consultation” explains the health benefits of having a marital relationship, according to the “Webmd” website.
1- Strengthen the immune system
People who have sex have higher levels of antibodies to germs and viruses Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that people who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of antibodies than students who exercised less.
2- Improve sexual desire
Practicing the marital relationship will increase the person’s sexual desire.
For women, having sex increases vaginal lubrication, blood flow, and flexibility, which can increase sexual desire.
3- Increased bladder control in women
A strong pelvic floor is important for avoiding incontinence, which affects about 30% of women at some point in their life.
A good marital relationship is exercise for the pelvic floor muscles and when a woman has an orgasm, contractions occur in those muscles, thereby strengthening them.
4- Lowering of blood pressure
Research suggests a link between having sex and lowering blood pressure, with one notable study finding that sex specifically lowers systolic blood pressure.
5- Reduce the risk of heart attack
A good sex life is good for heart health. Having a sexual relationship helps maintain the balance of estrogen and testosterone levels in the body. When any of these are low, the risk of many health problems, such as osteoporosis and heart disease, increases.
6- Reduce pain
Orgasm can relieve pain, as the body secretes a hormone that helps form pain, particularly chronic back and leg pain in women, as well as menstrual cramps, arthritis pain, and in some cases even sore head.
7- Reduce the risk of prostate cancer
According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, those men who had sex frequently “at least 21 times a month” were less likely to develop prostate cancer.
8-Improve sleep quality
It is possible to fall asleep more quickly after having sex, as after reaching orgasm the hormone prolactin is released, which is responsible for feelings of relaxation and sleepiness.
9- Reduce stress
Being close to a marital partner can calm stress and anxiety, as hugging can cause the body to release the feel-good hormone, and sexual arousal releases a chemical in the brain that further improves brain health.
An intimate marital relationship can increase the self-esteem of a husband or wife.
