A few good reasons to have sex

 

The Daily Mail had an article by their sex expert explaining why it's good to have sex and why it's not as good to not have sex. 

What celibacy REALLY does to you! Tracey Cox reveals the bad things that can happen to your body (and your relationship) when you stop having sex

Here's an example:

"Sex relieves anxiety and stress by triggering 'feel good' hormones like oxytocin and dopamine. These relax our body, boost bonding and lift our mood. Sex also decreases levels of cortisol and adrenaline (stress hormones). Add a healthy dose of happiness-inducing endorphins and you start to see why sex feels so good in our brain.


It also provides a positive distraction: a 2021 study found people who had active sex lives during the pandemic had significantly lower scores on anxiety and depression."
"Yes, honey, it's very healthy" !
