Did you realise that stress is totally linked to how much sex you may or may not be having.? When you have had a particularly stressful week at work the best thing to do to get the weekend off to a good start is to have a long loving sex session with your partner. 

Tayo Irvine Hendrix explains: "While stress can have an effect on your libido it is important to understand that sex is the greatest natural stress reliever.  Hence the old joke about the boss needing a good roll in the hay!"

In the USA  a study of over fifty middle aged women found, sex, or even simply physical affection with your partner significantly reduced negative mood and stress and created higher positive moods in the following days.  However, ladies the sad fact is, the result was not the same when women had orgasms without a partner. So home play does not reduce stress however satisfying it may be!

Tayo added: "Did you know having two or more orgasms per week can improve your health? A UK study has shown this to be the case. It looked at the relationship between having frequent orgasms (two or more per week) and mortality in men. Men who had frequent orgasms had a lower risk of death than men who did not have frequent orgasms."

It’s not just stress and, er death, that a good orgasm can help to beat though. Tayo adds it will also reduce blood pressure, aid a restful sleep, reduce prostate problems in men and relieve migraine headaches.

So there is no excuse not to get down to it tonight!
