2.    Sex and orgasm can make menopause easier.

Menopause can be frustrating. And one of the most frustrating parts about this natural bodily process is decreased sex drive. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to prolonging sexual desire.

In truth, sex and orgasm can help to preserve your sex drive.  It’s true.

Research shows that having sex on a regular basis after menopause (including masturbation) helps to prevent vaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness. So make sex and orgasm a priority to preserve your primal desire for a good romp in the hay.

3.    Orgasms help with headaches.

Got a migraine? Forget Tylenol. Try an orgasm.

According to CBS News, a German study concluded that a romp in the hay helped 60 percent of research subjects with migraines and a third of those with cluster headaches.   Though the exact reason for this hasn’t been determined, it is thought that endorphins may play a part in this process.

4.    Sex is a calorie killer.

Have you put on a few pounds? If your goal is to burn off last night’s pizza, it might be time for a toe-curling orgasm.
