Like we need a reason to reach the ultimate pleasure!!! But just in case, I thought I would share with you some great benefits of reaching the orgasm goal..
You already know that having regular orgasms is great for your relationship (not to mention your partner's ego!). It's also a fun, free and, well, satisfying form of entertainment, and it can even burn calories and reduce stress.
But here's another bedroom bonus: Getting busy on a regular basis not only enhances your life, it may extend it, too. We asked certified sex therapist Lou Paget, best-selling author of The Big O, for the top 5 benefits of O-ing whenever you can:
1. Orgasms keep your girly parts healthy. The extra stimulation causes blood to rush into the genital tissue, keeping it supple and refreshed. For best results, have an orgasm at least once a week. Is it that time of the month? Studies show that having orgasms while Aunt Flo is in town actually protects against endometriosis, a potentially dangerous uterine condition that can lead to infertility.
2. Orgasms offer powerful pain relief. Some studies suggest that a good orgasm can more than double a woman's tolerance for pain. Plus, it's an analgesic, not an anesthetic, meaning it suppresses pain without affecting sensitivity to touch -- a critical ingredient when sex is on the menu.
3. Orgasms can protect your ticker. Sexual activity and orgasm are shown to reduce stress due to the surge of oxytocin, the so-called "cuddle hormone," that occurs with orgasm. What's more, studies show that orgasms lower blood pressure levels -- at least among women -- and high blood pressure can lead to heart attacks.
4. Orgasms help you sleep better. In addition to increasing trust, attachment and bonding, the post-O hormone oxytocin triggers a cascade of bodily events, including the release of other feel-good hormones called endorphins. These endorphins often have a sedative effect. So it's no surprise that most of us have enjoyed a fabulous night of sleep following some really great sex.
5. Orgasms can help you stay in shape and lose weight. Getting busy for 30 minutes not only heats up your honey, but it also burns calories. In fact, according to some estimates, you can torch up to 200 calories with a hot and heavy half-hour session (which theoretically -- and hopefully -- would include an orgasm or three).
So, what are you waiting for - book your partner for a hot night in!
Yours with 'O' so much PASHion...
