10. Eases Stress
Being close to your partner can soothe stress and anxiety. Something we all need in this increasingly frenetic world.
Ambardar says touching and hugging can release your body’s natural “feel-good hormone.” Sexual arousal releases a brain chemical that revs up your brain’s pleasure and reward system. So sex makes you smile – great news (although not unexpected).
Sex and intimacy can boost your self-esteem and happiness, too, Ambardar says. It’s not only a prescription for a healthy life, but a happy one for everyone involved (even if it’s just you).
The last word goes to author Chloe Thurlow.
YES is the answer to the question is: Is it a good idea to have sex every day?
