"Health Benefits of the Male Orgasm"

We all understand the power of sex. It’s more than just a reproductive function of human beings, its something we derive pleasure from. It’s a pleasure which most people find incomparable to any other feeling on earth-even love.

We are influenced constantly by sex in our daily lives, the media knows this and it’s evident by the sexual undertones in everything marketed to us from perfumes to cell phones.

The orgasm

Sex wouldn’t be sex if not for the orgasm. The ultimate goal of every form of sexual activity is to arrive at this one explosive moment that is the peak of all sexual pleasure.

The pleasure of a particular sex session is easily quantified by the nature of the orgasm derived from it.

With function of the orgasm seemingly related to sexual pleasure alone, few people know of the health benefits that are associated with the orgasms we experience during sex. Recent health studies have showed a strong link with orgasms and the general health and well being of the male body.

The health benefits

One individual , Dr Alfred Kinsey started out with research in the 1950’s to try and understand what other functions and benefits humans could derive from sex other than reproduction and pleasure. One outcome of Dr Kinsey’s study was the discovery that people who engaged in more sex and had frequent orgasm were less prone to stress and violent tendencies.

Later studies revealed other amazing discoveries. These discoveries included the fact that people who engaged in frequent sexual activity and had orgasms had a lower mortality rate when compared with their less sexually active counterparts. (Duke University, 1970s and Caerphilly, 1997). For women an active sex life also bears some correlation with a lower risk of heart disease (Psychosomatic Medicine, 1976).

Other individuals and researchers such as Dudley Chapman a Gyaenacologist have since made other discoveries showing that an active sex life helps the body combat infections and disease better.

Reducing cancer

In men, frequent ejaculation induced by orgasms has been found to reduce the liability of the male body to develop prostrate cancer. This discovery was as a result of work carried out by researchers in Melbourne, Australia. Other benefits such as a reduction in the risk of pain during urination on the attainment of old age have also been noted among researchers in other fields.

Clearly these results from researchers show that human beings were meant to have sex, enjoy it and stay healthy from it. Lack of a healthy sex life and corresponding healthy orgasms affects the body in a negative way, in order to counter these problems an active sexual life and healthy orgasms are needed.
