Kors says there is scientific evidence of the physiological benefits of sex for women. Engaging in sex regularly has the following effects:
- Increases DHEA—Hormone that boosts immune system. Produces healthier skin, and decreases depression.
- Increases Oxytocin—Hormone that causes the release of endorphins, a natural opiate that relieves pain.
- Reduces Cortisol—Sex reduces stress, and thereby reduces cortisol levels which means more balanced blood sugar, blood pressure, and lower acidity in the abdomen.
- Increases Immunoglobulin A—Antibody which boosts immunity. Women who have sex twice a week have 30% higher level of immunoglobulin A.
- Some studies even show evidence that the increased blood flow and muscular contractions that occurs with regular penetration and orgasm promotes the structural health of a woman’s pelvic floor.
