Sex health benefits beyond the bedroom

continued from page 1
Save on your skincare regimen
'The perspiration that coats your body after vigorous lovemaking is full of nourishing oils for your skin,' says Candida Royalle, author of How to Tell a Naked Man What to Do. 'It's best not to rush into the shower, but to allow the body to re-absorb these natural oils.'

Forever young
Sex triggers the release of a growth hormone that aids in weight loss and pain relief, according to Dr Teitelbaum. 'Studies show that having sex three times a week will leave you looking up to ten years younger,' he adds. Bonus!

Hello, confidence
Last but not least, having frequent sex totally ups your 'I'm fantastic' factor. 'Sex releases endorphins, your body's natural opiates,' says Royalle. 'A good round of lovemaking will create feelings of well-being and contentment. It can actually fill your body with positive feelings about yourself, your lover and your life.'
