Let me break it down for you, if you think Orgasms are a luxury, you wrong!
Make them a priority. Orgasms are part of self-care and stress management.
Orgasms release amazing hormones like Oxytocin that help you cope with the stress hormone cortisol. Best way to release Oxytocin is with regular hugs.
So why should you be getting down and having more orgasms!
1) Orgasms are a great Anti-aging tool. Research shows that having regular orgasms can lead to you looking 7 years younger.
When you orgasm, you release that feel good chemical endorphins, that serve as a natural pain killer. Which in turn reduces anxiety, help you to sleep better and makes you feel amazing.
2) Orgasms boost your immune system. When those good hormones are released, that helps your immune system function at higher levels. When you are calm and relaxed and sleep well, this is critical when maintaining a high functioning immune system. Which prevents you from getting sick.
3) Orgasms increase body confidence. Orgasms help you feel better about your body, when you are more comfortable with your body, you definitely enjoy your sex life more whether you are single or with a partner. Which leads to a confident and sexy you.
4) Orgasms have skin benefits and boost estrogen and collagen too. Because orgasms slow down the aging process, they also boost your estrogen levels and increase production of collagen, making your skin look healthy and youthful. Which then diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
5) Orgasms can help during the cold and flu season. Indiana University studies show that being sexually active helps the T Cells, which help activate the cells your body needs to fight off foreign invaders that cause disease and illness. So definitely get more active in the bedroom.
6) Regular Orgasms can benefit your heart. Did you know the Big O helps your heart function better because of the blood flow and your heart pumping more efficiently during sex? Which helps lower cardiovascular risk in both men and women.
7) Orgasms boost your self-esteem. I love this one, we all need a self-esteem boost right. When you are in tune with your body and desires, your self-esteem also gets a boost. There’s a proven link between sexual health and self-esteem. The ability to achieve orgasms grows your self-esteem, which in turn, better results in achieving orgasms.
8) Orgasms strengthen your relationship and connection. Your love life might not be doing so well. Lack of sexual pleasure might be the result of this. There are studies that show that there are direct links to climaxing and connecting with a sexual partner. The number of arousing neurotransmitters and potential bonding transmitters increase during orgasm.
9) Orgasms can strengthen your pelvic muscles. When you orgasm and experience pleasure you contract, and clench and those spasms of the genital and pelvic area use the same muscles that are engaged during Kegel exercises. So, more orgasms will in turn help the pelvic floor to become stronger and improve mobility.
You’ve heard all the benefits and believe me there are so much more too. Studies show that we should be having orgasms at least 3 times a week. Please know that Masturbation and orgasms take work, just like going to the gym or eating healthy. Of course, having a mind blowing “O” is more fun that a spin class. Enjoy the benefits and ORGASM!
