Can A Healthy Sex Life Reduce Anxiety And Reduce Depression?

By Kapiva Editorial

It has been the debate starter for years whether sexual intercourse comes with any benefits, other than just physical pleasure. Does it assist our body to reduce anxiety or reduce depression? The definite answer to that would be “yes”. And Science backs it. How, do you ask? It’s all the hormones’ work. The game-changers are the release of hormones like dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin which act as instant mood-boosters. These hormones help you bond with your partner by increasing the feeling of ‘compassion’. Sexual intercourse also lowers the secretion of cortisol, which is the stress hormone alleviating our mind’s efforts to reduce anxiety and reduce depression.

So Can Sex Help Reduce Anxiety Or Reduce Depression?

Well, we aren’t saying that sex is a cure to reduce anxiety or reduce depression – that’s too huge a claim! But we can definitely conclude that a healthy sex life means the release of the copious amount of “happy hormones” in your body, which make you feel good. It is hence a no-brainer that sex is an escape (might be a temporary one!) from feeling sad, low or stressed out.

Your Key To A Goodnight’s Sleep

Need something to help you sleep better at night? Sex is the answer. The hormone prolactin is released when your body experiences an orgasm, making you sleepy. And we needn’t elaborate on the upsides of getting a good night’s sleep in helping to reduce anxiety and reduce depression.

And The Benefits Don’t End There

That’s not it. Sex also accounts for a considerable amount of activity in your daily life. On a good day, men can burn up to 100 calories (yes!), while women can go up to about 69 (yes, you read that right!) A deal couldn’t get any better – it keeps you cheery, and helps you sleep, all the while helping you achieve your weight loss goals! This also boosts happy hormones that help reduce anxiety and reduce depression.
