According to webMD, Sex isn’t just fun. It’s good for you too. Every orgasm releases a flood of the hormone oxytocin, which improves your mood

He added that a healthy sex life decreases stress and some people turn to food when they under stress.”
Recent studies have revealed that having sex can burn almost as many calories as a quick jog.
Another study showed that a vigorous 30-minute sex session can burn as many as 150 calories, which is equivalent to a 15-minute jog

Sex is a form of exercise especially if you incorporate different positions,” she says. “If you move around a little bit and flex your muscles, it can be a very good exercise,” she says.
Recent research shows that exercise in short bursts over the course of the day can be as effective as 30 to 40 minutes in a row. “You could use sex as 15 to 20 minutes of your exercise routine and then do something else at a different point of the day.”
Another perk: “Sex is the kind of exercise that most people don’t find boring,” Berman says.
