Good lovemaking is good for your health : Benefits of Making Love

Updated on April 15, 2011

I was sidelined again in the forum by the topic “Sex effect--can sex put bad effect on our health?” So, I researched about it as I am wondering why all people have that notion, and why all people are interested in it. It seems obvious at first, but then if you dig into it and research more, it becomes clearer. I did just that, read all about the literature I can find in the Internet, and then come to terms with it and ponder about it. What I would like to know is that : how good is it really for the health and what are the benefits which we can get from it; what do we mean by good lovemaking? Are the studies good enough or have scientific basis?

Good exercise?

  • Or is it really a good exercise? Damn, are you just going to have sex because you are conscious about your health? Or can you just say to a woman or a man. “Hey I want to have exercise can you have sex with me?” hehe.

It has been a topic for as long as time permits:

  • I found out that it has been a topic of research of many health scientists, doctors, psychologists etc. for so many decades already and the literature is abound with the topic about the benefits of good lovemaking.

"sex" versus "lovemaking" (we know this already just a thought)

  • As scientific researches puts it, the word is “sex” not lovemaking, (still good lovemaking is my term for it) but then we know better than that “good lovemaking” entails more than just “sex”. What differentiates a human being from animal is the capacity to process ideas and to think, plus have moral values.
  • The difference between “sex” and “good lovemaking” is obvious. Sex is temporary and good lovemaking is you do it with the person you love or you are committed to. Maybe once in our lives, when some are young and adventurous, it is fun but then as you know the facts and you learn the value of “self”, you know how to differentiate things and facts.

My other question:

  • Does "sex" or "casual sex" outweighs risk, how about those who don’t have a partner or boyfriend are they going to die without it? I am just maybe plain crazy thinking about it this morning trying to ponder about this topic. I will share to you what I have dig so far.

According to literature and researches conducted:

  • Good lovemaking reduces stress as you will release hormones, endorphins which balances the moods and you will experience euphoria thereafter. Good lovemaking brings more happier couple, more relaxed plus they are stress free and they can think clearly as they are inspired by the episode with their loved one
  • You feel confident about yourself too and feel happier after lovemaking (I wonder I am still happy as I am, just more attuned to myself, maybe more happier)
  • It is good for women’s health as when they have orgasms they release hormones which is good for their hair and skin too
  • A good lovemaking can burn up to 200 calories and it is like walking in a treadmill for 60 minutes.
  • It will increase testosterone level which is good for the bones and muscles of the body
  • it is also good for various cancer like testicular cancer and prostate cancer as it usually removed the bad cells form that part of your body (I need to read more on this)
  • It is good for the heart too, just don’t get overly too excited (you might die from it), as it is good for the circulation of the blood from your heart and out of it too
  • Researches have been conducted in a ten year study in Belfast, Ireland that for those who have a good lifestyle plus regular sex with a loved one, their life expectancy increased too. In old age, it has been proven that marriage and good sex life extends life expectancy as well. Still even if your marriage is not perfect the benefit if you are in a marital relationship is good because you can also get health benefits in health insurance etc. Plus the shared wealth concept too and the :"companionship" aspect you truly enjoy that comes with a partner
  • In 1997, The British Medical Journal published an article said that men who had the highest number of orgasms had a good quality of life and lived the longest.

Thoughts about good lovemaking:

  • Good lovemaking would be always with the person you love not for the sake of it, for if not you will just have headache and more frustrations
  • No way to live just like having casual sex as you are endangering your life to dangers like HIV/AIDS and unwanted pregnancies---which may cause your dreams and future too, specially for the youth
  • Sex is addictive and if you do it yourself, you will be use to that fact that you don’t need a warm person anymore, replacing it for a good woman or a man.
  • Risk outweighs the benefits you can get from “casual sex” alone if you are not careful specially if you indulge in multiple sex partners etc. and sex without protecting yourself

As for my question whether studies about the effects of “sex” or “lovemaking” are scientific enough, well you cant conduct a study following up people for the rest of their lives and monitoring their lifestyle etc, just for the sake of knowing the benefits of it, people are not rats or guinea pigs, so I have the conclusion that all studies regarding the effects of good lovemaking, marriage etc needs further verification and I am wondering whether these kind of studies can be answered scientifically at all. Just look at yourselves in the morning “after” hehe, are you happier, LOL, then it answers the questions too.

And for my question also whether you are going to die without it, goodness, NO, and I know that from the beginning already. I could have been dead by now.

Warning: Lovemaking is not the be all and end all of a relationship (we know that already), true love waits, it endure time and when you have it, keep it for a lifetime.

And lastly:

Lovemaking is best between married couples, those who are committed plus those who love each other exclusively.

This is very long, sorry.
