Sex is an intimate experience, which can bring you closer to your partner not just physically but emotionally. Your bedroom chemistry can also improve the chemistry in your relationship. A sexless relationship can become vulnerable overtime and therefore, you need sex to keep the fire burning. With the kind of lives we live, stress has become an integral part of it. This often takes a toll on your relationship. Sex releases a FEEL GOOD chemical in the brain, which reduces stress levels. Instead of resorting to antidepressant, engage in a heated sex session to improve your well being and strengthen your relationship.

We associate good relationships with sexuality, assuming quite naturally that happy couples seemingly have sex more often than their miserable counterparts. But have you ever considered just what is it about sex that makes it beneficial to a relationship?. Research shows that everyday kissing, hugging, and touch between partners contributes uniquely to relationship satisfaction and overall well-being.

Is it sex itself or something about sexual activity that is so good for our happiness? You might argue that people who are happier are more likely to have sex more often, because they are in a good relationship and are satisfied with it.

Sex seems not only beneficial because of its physiological or hedonic effects…. But because it promotes a stronger and positive connection with the partner. Overtime such experiences build to strengthen the bonds between partners, meaning that their long-term relationship satisfaction is bolstered as well.

Sex is good for your health for example it increases your heart rate, burns calories, help you sleep better , it’s even associated with less sex. Not to mention, it promotes a stronger immune system and may help you live longer (smiles).

It forces you to communicate with addition to being a lot of fun; sex is an exercise in communication. During sex you regularly communicate to your partner about what you like and what you don’t like, what you like and what you want them to do. There’s nothing more intimate and vulnerable than communications your having during sex … it’s just uhm.. I don’t know how express it, its just so special (rolls eyes).
