Health Benefits of Orgasms

We all know by now that orgasms are a great stress reliever. It builds up all the tension in your body, only to release it in one go, zapping you of all energy and making you want to sleep in bliss. But did you know there are many other health benefits to orgasms and sex, benefits which only until recently doctors and medical experts are discovering all the time? Here are a few of the benefits that you may be able to get from sex.

While you're extremely relaxed in the afterglow following an orgasm, your heart races and your blood pressure rises during the act. You sweat, and your breath speeds up. It sounds like a workout at the gym, doesn't it? Well, it's a workout in the comfort of your bedroom, or wherever else it is that you and your partner like to do it. You can burn up to 100 calories an hour from vigorous sex, although this number varies from person to person depending on their weight and overall health, as well as things like physical exertion during sex. While 100 calories an hour isn't enough that you should give up your gym membership, it should be another incentive to hit the sheets.

So, sex and the ensuing orgasm tends to put most of us in a pretty good mood, but now a study is being conducted that links sex to alleviating depression.

Forget pain relievers - try self-medicating with sex first. Sex releases endorphins, which help manage pain. In fact, with sex it's possible to decrease pain by up to 70%. Who wouldn't take this over acetaminophen? Sex can also help relieve that migraine, even though for some people sex triggers this kind of severe headache.

A recent study in the British Medical Journal revealed that men who regularly engaged in sex had a decreased mortality rate than those who didn't. Regular is defined as twice a week, according to the study. As if there wasn't enough incentive to have sex before! The study took 1000 Welsh men and kept track of them for a decade. They found that those who had sex less than once a month were more likely to die than those who had sex often. In fact, those men who had sex infrequently were twice as likely to die as those who had frequent sex. Researchers are still trying to determine why this is so.

More specifically, research is being done to prove that sex can decrease chances of certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer, and heart disease. Again, sex twice a week can improve your chance of survival.

So if you needed an excuse to have sex before, you've got several reasons to now. While you're at it, why not add a little something? Try TRX, a supplement in capsule form that increases the testosterone that slowly dwindles over the years. Side effect free, expect a supped-up libido as well as more energy and better concentration, to name just a few benefits.

Sex and Seniors

Stop me if you've heard this one: An old man opens his front door to an escort hired for his birthday. "Super sex! Super sex!" the blonde chants. "I'll have the soup," answers the old man.

We've all heard jokes about seniors and sex. But while we joke about it, it's far from the truth. Men don't experience less sexual desire over the years, despite the perception. But while their desire doesn't decrease, some other aspects of sex do- for example, there may be difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, or orgasms aren't as strong, to name a few of the variety of concerns. More importantly, too often there is a stigma around seniors having sex. But sex never gets old, even if you do.

When Viagra hit the market years ago, it seemed as if the flood gates opened. Suddenly the world became aware that seniors are as much sexual beings as anyone. The problem with prescription drugs like Viagra is that the pill needs to be taken an hour before sexual intercourse.

You don't need to rely on prescription drugs though, to reach your sexual peak. With a little help from male supplements, as well as a few other helpful hints that are mostly common sense, you can reach your sexual prime again. Enjoy the best sex you've had in years, naturally.

Your health is probably the biggest obstacle to overcome in a satisfying sex life. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) conducted a study about seniors and sexuality. The study, originally conducted in 1999 and updated in 2004, states that "Twenty percent of all respondents report having a chronic health problem that restricts their sexual activity, yet an alarming number… say they are not getting treatment for it." While deteriorating strength and health is almost inevitable in old age, it's important to try to stay on top. Eat right and get regular exercise. Your doctor can help you determine a diet and exercise plan that is right for you.

Your doctor is an invaluable resource. There are many ways in which a doctor can help, such as if you have any physical limitations or pain that affects sex, or options for treatment. Even just to talk to, as a sounding board. Your medical practitioner may be able to answer any questions you have, or can send you in the right direction. If you're uncomfortable discussing sex with your doctor, then try to think if there is anyone else that you would feel comfortable with having this sort of conversation.

Chances are if you've read this far you're one of the many men exploring their options in reaching their sexual prime. Maybe you've thought about trying a male enhancement product, but were confused by all your options out there. Which one is the genuine article in the sea of imitations? We've had success with TRX, which enhances testosterone. The amount of testosterone your body produces diminishes over the years, affecting your energy level, your mental alertness and your sexual drive. Boosting testosterone with TRX will surely increase your sexual libido, making you feel young again.
