1.Having sex can give your immune system a boost. Want to better fight off nasty bugs? Add sex to your to-do list. Sure you’ll still need to eat right and get adequate sleep. But you can also do the “tandem-ceiling fan-swing” or play the ever popular “put-something-somewhere” game. Get busy getting busy.

2.Sex can help to keep ladies from leaking…literally. Frequent sex improves bladder control in women. Having sex strengthens the pelvic floor. Stronger pelvic muscles help to minimize incontinence. Consider it a workout for your pelvic muscles while you’re working out. About 30% of women will experience bladder leakage at some point. Remember your cousin’s wedding and you were right in the middle of that belly laugh while you watched Uncle Joe on the dance floor? And there’s a bonus…if you have an orgasm (a real one), those contractions will strengthen your muscles even more. There is no down-side here.

3.Frequent ejaculation may make prostate cancer less likely. Men don’t need an excuse to ejaculate, but if guys ejaculate at least 21 times per month they could lessen the possibility of prostate cancer in their future. You might mention this benefit to convince him to go to the doctor for his annual prostate test. Give him something to look forward to before and after the doctor’s visit.

4.Got a headache? That’s a good reason to have sex--not a reason to avoid it. Orgasms can help to block pain. Seems it produces a hormone that raises your pain threshold. Who knew? So…put that aspirin (and lame excuse) away and reach for something more substantial. Vaginal stimulation, even genital self-stimulation, has been shown to block chronic back and leg pain. Just saying.

5.Having sex increases your libido. The more you have it… the more you want it. The more you have it, the more you attract people who want to have it—your pheromones give you away. The more you have it…the better it gets. What a pleasurable progression.

Did I mention a partner is not necessary for you to reap the benefits of sex? Feel free to go solo. “Many studies” have shown that sex toys can enhance sexual pleasure with or without a partner. If you prefer a partner, be safe. Condoms are sold everywhere except perhaps funeral homes…USE them.

So...why are you still here? Go ahead...get busy...we'll wait.
