Yet Another Reason to Orgasm: It Relieves Stress

Most people love orgasms, but did you know having more orgasms is a great way to help keep your body and brain healthy? It’s true! When you orgasm, your body releases the hormone oxytocin into your bloodstream. Oxytocin, typically known as the ‘love’ hormone, can decrease stress. 

Orgasms are Good for your Heart

It isn’t only the oxytocin that can help lead to a reduction in your stress levels, though. Having more orgasms can lead to overall improved physical health, which can do wonders for someone’s mental health. Studies also show that orgasms can reduce blood pressure and lead to a healthier heart.  Additional benefits include increased circulation in the pelvic floor. Improved circulation helps to distribute nutrients and hormones where the body needs it most.

Orgasms are Good for your Skin

Having more orgasms can even give you better skin! Oxytocin reduces cortisol, which in excess, can increase oil production. More cortisol can clog pores, leading to inflammation and breakouts.

Orgasms Make You Happy

The endorphin rush that comes along with oxytocin will also work marvels on you. Endorphins leave you with feelings of happiness and satisfaction, as well as having a sedative effect, which can lead to deeper and better sleep.

So the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, go ahead and prescribe yourself a few extra orgasms.
