Taking care of yourself

Updated on March 4, 2020

If you want to make sure that you can perform at top levels, both physically and mentally, you should have enough sleep and physical movement. The stress levels which most people experience often make it more challenging to focus. If you are already visiting the gym thrice a week, and you try to get as much sleep as your responsibilities allow you, there is also another thing that you should start doing. It’s sex. Sure, it’s pleasurable, but having sex regularly could actually have a positive impact on your physical and mental health.

  • Being intimate with another person causes your hypothalamus to release oxytocin, a hormone that improves your mood by decreasing the effects of another hormone – cortisol. Your body releases cortisol during stressful situations, which makes you more alert, though at higher levels, it has the opposite effect. That’s why if you are stressed for long periods of time, your cognitive performance will decrease. If you want to help your body deal with the stress, the solution is simple: have sex.
  • Sex also boosts levels of another hormone, testosterone, especially in men. This hormone is responsible for your mental well-being, but it also helps you to build muscles quicker and makes it easier for you to focus.
  • Frequent ejaculations decrease the likelihood of prostate cancer.

Additionally, sex could help boost your creativity. How? Well, although you might have the idea of what goes where it doesn’t mean that there aren’t any other uncharted territories for those who are brave enough. Maybe you were born too late to discover any new lands on our planet, but perhaps, with the help of small gadgets, like the ones that you can find at www.theadulttoyshop.com, you could discover something different, like incredible orgasms. It doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be careful while on your journey. The danger lurks in the places where we least expect it.
