Sex, in fact, is the same physical activity, and one act of love can be compared to climbing two flights of stairs – during this time a person burns from 85 to 150 calories. Urologist-surgeon Mark Gadziyan spoke about this in his blog.
He added that men are able to burn more calories than women because they are more physically active during sex.
The doctor added that lovemaking also brings other benefits to our body. He named four more beneficial effects of sex: strengthens the immune system; strengthens the muscles of the pelvic floor; increases self-esteem; stimulates the production of hormones – oxytocin and prolactin. They have a relaxing effect, which in turn can lower blood pressure;
However, there are problems that can reduce the quality of intimate life. According to the urologist, it reflects badly: overweight; decreased testosterone production; depression; taking certain drugs (lowering blood pressure or antidepressants); dissatisfaction with their appearance.
