1 It’s anti-ageing

Did you know having sex boosts the anti-ageing hormone DHEA? In fact, a UK study of 60-somethings found they looked five to seven years younger if they were having regular sex, compared to those who weren’t.

2 Get a glow!

Along with its anti-ageing b benefits, sweating during sex cleans out your pores, making y your skin shine bright like a diamond, while also decreasing t the risk of dry skin or dermatitis.

3 Memory booster

According A to research by psychology p lecturer at University y of Wollongong, Mark Allen, p people over the age of 50 who h have regular sexual activity are more likely to have better memory retention. Similarly, a study by Mcgill University in Canada claimed women in particular who have more sex have better memories due to the e growth of the hippocampu­s, the part of the brain that controls emotions, memory and sex.

4 Calorie burner

Getting frisky for just 20 minutes can burn as many calories as running on a treadmill for 15 minutes – which is almost 200 just j so you y know!

6 It’s joyful!

After an orgasm, your body releases a stress-reducing hormone called oxytocin, which will leave you feeling stress-free. Plus, your body also releases more serotonin during sex – thanks to your increased heart rate – which is a key antidepres­sant.
