3. Sex burns calories
Sexual activity for 30 minutes is believed to be able to burn more than 85 calories. It seems not too much, but if done for 42 hours (total), which burns about 3570 calories, more than enough to reduce the weight about half a kilogram.
Not surprisingly, Patti Britton, Ph.D., from Los Angeles sexologist and president of the American Association of Sexuality Educators and Therapists claim that sex is a remarkable model of exercise because it is very good from the standpoint of physical and spiritual.
4. Sex improve heart health
Many men over the age of 50 years was afraid to have sex because they think such activities could increase the risk of stroke.
However, researchers from England, as published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, which conducted research on 914 men for 20 years with impaired stroke, just find another fact. Regular sexual activity at least twice a week can reduce the risk of fatal heart attacks.
5. Sex increases the confidence
You know, one of 237 reasons people perform sexual activities is to increase confidence. The fact that is revealed by researchers from the University of Texas, USA, as published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.

8. Sex reduces prostate cancer risk
Ejaculation that routinely, especially in men aged 20-something years, could potentially reduce the risk of prostate cancer during his lifetime, as reported by Australian researchers in the British Journal of Urology International.

The fact that only affects those over the age of 20 years with an average ejaculate of five or more times a week, and not significant in the group aged in their 30s and above.
Another study, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association menungkapkan, ejaculate 21 times or more a month can reduce the risk of prostate cancer at the age of aging than just ejaculated four to seven times per month!
