1. Shag your guy's ticker into shape. According to a study at Queens University in Belfast, men who have sex three or more times a week can cut their risk of heart attack in half. 2. According to that same study, regular romps will also halve your man's chances of suffering a stroke. 3. Work off that Rice Krispies Treat without hitting the treadmill. One 30-minute roll in the hay burns about 200 calories. 4. Avoid going postal at work. Nooky helps the brain produce neurotransmitters, chemical messengers that help mellow our moods. 5. Get more z's. A little sensual massage followed by some dancing in the sheets releases sleep-inducing endorphins. 6. Wake up and smell the roses. Post-romp, you'll experience a surge in the hormone prolactin, which develops new neurons in the brain's olfactory bulb, improving your sense of smell. 7. Unless you're a kinky, wayward politician, it's free! 8. Kick colds to the curb. Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that having sex once or twice a week boosts the immune system by 30 percent. 9. Protect your pearly whites by stepping up to the mic. Semen contains zinc, calcium, and other minerals proven to fight tooth decay. (Only trace amounts, but who's counting?) 10. Watch a Lost DVD marathon without constant bathroom breaks. Sex tones the pelvic muscles that support your uterus, bladder, and bowel, meaning better pee control. 11. No pain, all gain. Right after your big O, you'll be practically swimming in oxytocin (we're talking a seriously intense surge). The overload releases endorphins, which help alleviate pain from arthritis… 12. …and--hallelujah!--menstrual cramps. 13. Take him to your level. According to family therapist Michael Gurian, author of What Could He Be Thinking?: How a Man's Mind Really Works, the one time a man's oxytocin level can match ours is after his happy ending. 14. Put more pep in your step. Rhode Island-based relationship expert Scott Haltzman, M.D., says that women absorb some of the testosterone men secrete in their ejaculate. The payoff: "The increased testosterone can have energy-boosting effects in women." 15. Blow him away in your bikini. According to researchers, regular shagging can tighten your tummy… 16. …and firm your bum. 17. Aunt Flow, we meet again. Endocrinologists at Columbia and Stanford universities found that women who have sex at least once a week have more-regular menstrual cycles than those who do it once in a blue moon. 18. Curb irritability. "Tactile stimulation soothes nerves," says Evelyn Resh, M.P.H., certified nurse midwife and director of health services at Canyon Ranch spa in Lenox, Massachusetts. 19. Prove that yes, good girls do do that. 20. Forget flowers and the flat-screen: Sex is an easier (and cheaper) way to make up after a fight. www.womenshealthmag.com www.HealthNewsDigest.com Top of Page
