How does sex affect the body, and what role does it play in emotional and physical health? - #14757
I’ve been reading about how sex affects the body, but I’m still not sure exactly what happens physically and emotionally during intimacy. I know it’s a natural part of life, but how does it contribute to overall health and well-being? How does sex affect the body physically, and what hormones are released during sexual activity? I read that endorphins and oxytocin are involved—what roles do these chemicals play in mood, stress relief, and bonding? I also want to know how sex affects emotional health. Does it improve mental health by promoting relaxation and intimacy, and can regular sex help reduce anxiety or depression? Are there risks or benefits to sexual health that people should be aware of? If anyone has had questions about how sex affects their health, what resources or advice helped you understand its impact on both physical and emotional well-being?
