With that being said, on a more positive note, lol, Psychologists have associated and compared sex to food, as they both depend on internal physiological factors of satisfaction.
According to Psychology Today, sex is part of what makes us human. It fosters sensual pleasure, enjoyment, excitement, and other earthly desires of the flesh.
But did you know that it is psychologically proven to lessen alienation, isolation and loneliness? It also creates a peaceful afterglow of relaxation following orgasms.
Now these aren`t my words eh! 😂 Infact, psychosexual theorist, Sigmund Freud, pointed out that sex reminds us that we are passionate creatures, motivated and driven by primitive, irrational forces operating just below the surface of civilization and rationality far more powerful than our puny little egos.
So when your partner asks, dont think of sex as a bad thing.
Let me show you some additional benefits of sex in a relationship/ marriage:
- Physically, sex can produce a more youthful look. Research has shown that sex is also an exercise, and as such burns calories, and contributes to a healthier lifestyle. Sex also releases tension in the veins of the brain.
- Sex strengthens the muscles of both male and female, thus acting as a sport.
- Sex can be used as an antidepressant, as it releases endorphins into the bloodstream and creates a state of euphoria.
- Sex has been medically proven to produce better sleeping habits. Oxytocin which is released following an orgasm, creates a stronger immune system, as well as through the brain, can reduce heart problems, and can assist in helping with pain.
- For women, gynecologists have proven that frequent sex leads to a lighter period and less cramps during your menstruation.
Please note that this topic was requested, as persons found their partners viewed sex as a bad thing in a relationship, so hope the information was beneficial. 😊

ReplyDeleteThis is very informative....hmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteGlad it has been... based on my survey and requests, many relationships are struggling with this as one partner wants more and the other thinks its less prudent, thus causing conflict in relationships and marriages.
DeleteI do believe in sex as being a remedy for alot of things and adding Sigmund Freud who did believe in sex as the cure for everything was very insightful
ReplyDeleteI dont believe in it being the cure for everything, but it does have its benefits. And thank you, Freud has been one of the pioneers in early Psychology
DeleteI do not believe sex is the remedy for most things in a marriage/relationship. In fact in my opinion sex can either go in a negative or positive direction dependent on how it is done, when it is done or who decides to commit to it. In my opinion; some relationships tend to use sex as a pacifier to sweep unresolved issues under the carpet. However if sex is about achieving desires of the flesh, why do "Many cultures vary tremendously in how early they start having sex, how open they are about it, and how many sexual partners they have," I do agree with the many benefits of having intercourse but many would agree sex with love is way better lol. The reason/s why most relationships/marriages fail when it comes to sex is lack of communication with their significant other. Communicating the likes and dislikes, the wants and needs and how frequent we should have intercourse with each other is beneficial to the striving relationship; not sex alone. A healthy sexual relationship is great but having a over healthy sex drive/relationship and poor communication with you S/O is a remedy for failure. Resulting in partners stepping out on each other. Sex long ago was considered "Taboo" but now persons are more expressive in their sexuality. I for one find it to be gods greatest gift to man and the most freest form of expression. Sexologists agrees that having sex with your partner not only brings you together but fosters healthy living. They advise to persons that partners should indulge themselves in fun games/ chats either during sex or after to keep the communication going.
Deleteyes thats a good suggestion, but my other blogs do talk about communication. Each blog targets different areas. I would have conducted a survey to determine what are the areas persons needed addressing, hence the target audience, but this blog in no way implicates that sex is the remedy for everything. My blog on relationships targets your other concerns
DeleteWow this was well written. It caught my attention and held it
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThere was a psychologist who believed that sex is the reason for life and gives purpose for everything. Which raises the question.... do we just live to have sex comfortably .... hmmm
ReplyDeleteNow this does not mean it is ok to have sex with random persons. lol. This can lead to another topic by itself. This particular blog focuses sex in marriage or committed relationships
DeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteVery imformative, will help to keep me up to date on matters relating to domestic violence.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. In my opinion I always thought that sex was not the cure for everything. I think people would be just fine without it but it is a stress reliever the information stated was very informative. Would surely relate this to others
ReplyDeleteSex is not the cure for everything. But it does have positive effects. Based on my research, alot of men complain that their wife or gf does not see the positive effects of sex, as such they always say they`re too tired or just doesnt want to have sex. Then the man gets fed up and either leaves, or horns. So this was to showcase the positive aspects of sex for women especially, so we can learn and examine ourselves. N not think of sex as only pleasurable to your spouse, but rather enjoy its intricacies as a couple
DeleteSex is more than just a stress reliever. Sex is what makes us feel alive. It makes us feel loved and wanted. Sex keeps us happy as every orgasm makes you forget about everything. Having someone that knows how to take away the reality for a while is what makes you crave it more. Sex keeps us happy and peaceful. Sex makes you feel love.
