\nResearch shows that having sex calms nerves, lowers blood pressure and reduces stress. One\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0even found that people who had sex before a public speaking experiment were the least stressed!<\/p>\n
\nSeriously, your body was made for morning sex. “Not only are testosterone and energy levels higher in the morning, but the increase in oxytocin levels keeps you and your partner bonded throughout the day while the endorphins boost your mood,” says sex expert\u00a0Jessica O’Reilly<\/a>, Ph.D. Not a bad way to start off your day, huh?<\/p>\n
\nIt may seem counterintuitive, but\u00a0studies show<\/a>\u00a0that having sex can actually boost your immune system. Okay, so you may not want to jump each other’s bones when you’re\u00a0running<\/a>\u00a0a fever, but hey, it’s one way to prepare for flu season.<\/p>\n
\nA recent study<\/a>\u00a0found that around two weeks into your cycle, your clitoris grows up to 20 percent bigger and becomes engorged more easily. Translation: Your orgasm may be easier to come by on this particular day.\u00a0This is right around the time that ovulation occurs, so it makes sense that your body would be craving more action on that day.<\/p>\n
\nTake advantage of that post-workout glow\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0the added benefits of higher sexual functioning that follow.\u00a0One study from the University of Texas at Austin compared women’s reactions to erotic material after a 20-minute bike ride and found that blood flow to their genital region was 169 percenthigher<\/em>\u00a0after a workout. Not to mention you often have a better body image post-workout, so your inhibitions will be checked at the bedroom door. Plus, your body pumps out testosterone\u2014a crucial sex hormone\u2014when you exercise, so your natural desire will be even higher after a sweat session.<\/p>\n
\nWant to shake off the stress of a tough day at the office? Sex might be a healthier choice than a couple of beers. “Studies show that sex and other forms of physical affection\u2014even holding hands\u2014significantly improve your mood and lower stress levels for days to come,” says O\u2019Reilly. Plus, working out that tension and frustration in bed can actually make you more passionate and enthusiastic. “As long as your lover isn’t the source of your anger, angry sex can be red hot,” says O’Reilly.<\/p>\n
\nOne of the best times to get busy is right after an exhilarating experience, whether it be zip lining, riding a roller coaster, or even watching a scary move. \u201cWhen your adrenaline is pumping, your body is already in a state of arousal and your sexual response is often heightened,\u201d says O\u2019Reilly. Astudy<\/a>\u00a0published in the\u00a0Archives of Sexual Behavior\u00a0<\/em>confirms that attraction and desire are amped up after an adrenaline-boosting experience.<\/p>\n
