Over time, it’s normal that our sex lives will change, whether that’s because we try new things, life gets busier or slows down, or our partners change.
We’re sure most of us can agree that we want a great sex life, but what does that even mean? Regular but shorter sex sessions? Or longer sessions, but less frequently?
Did you know that a great sex life could improve your overall health? Intrigued? Read on as we jump in head-first (ooh!).
Watch out, things are about to get raunchy.
Why will trying new things in the bedroom benefit your health?
Experimenting in the bedroom and trying new sex positions with a partner isn’t new; after all, the Kama Sutra is roughly 2,400 years old. Regularly getting hot and heavy has a whole range of benefits for both your physical and mental health, as well as feeling close to your partner; plus, it’s lots of fun.
But there are also actual benefits for your health. For example, regularly engaging in sex will boost your levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that fights off infection. In addition, regular sex also contributes to better quality sleep and makes your blood pressure less reactive to stress.
