Sex has immense health benefits
One of the most pleasurable activities people engage in is sex. Every human being has a sexual urge, which might be different due to the sexual orientation one possesses.
Sexual intercourse has several benefits. While some of these benefits are visible to us like orgasm and pleasure to some others we are oblivious.
From heart to mental health, sex has lots of benefits. It is also considered a form of exercise as during the act the entire body is engaged in a workout.
Lotus position
The lotus position is often said as the morning sex position. In this usually the woman is on the top and the limbs of the couples are interlocked.
So when you see it from a workout point of view, it requires lots of balance and coordination to do the movements. So yes, if this is your best sex position now you know how else it benefits you.
Missionary position
The most popular sex position, the missionary position, helps the couple burn up to 140 calories.
It involves lots of hip action and activities in the upper body and serves as a good form of workout.
Lunges
It is a variation of the lotus sex position in which one of the partners sits on the other.
This position is a great test of flexibility. Several health reports say lunges help in improving cardiovascular health.
Standing sex
The most preferred sex position, standing sex, helps in burning more than 160 calories in 30 minutes.
Even pleasure wise it is one of the best sex positions. However you need time to master this position so that it does not dampen your intimacy.
Doggy style
This is one of the most experimental sex positions couples aim for. However, this sex position is an exercise for sure.
In this one partner bends over or crouches while the other one is behind during the sexual activity. In this one of the partners is very active while the other one remains passive during the act.
It is great for the core. It can give the same result as a low impact cardio workout if the pace is increased.
How else does sex benefit our body?
Apart from the pleasure factor, sex has several unseen benefits on our body. It improves the heart health, it boosts the immune system, it might help in weight loss as you lose calories during sex, it can improve mental health and beat anxiety.
