FOR an activity that is both intensely pleasurable and medicinal, it seems understandable that people are paying more attention to it. Sexz has numerous benefits, including the fact that it boosts immune system, lowers blood pressure, it’s a good form of exercise, helps to reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men, lowers risk of heart attack, improves sleep and brings about the release of feel good hormone (dopamine), love hormone (oxytocin), pain-killing hormone (endorphin) and many others which have positive effects on the body.
Being something that could take place anytime and in any (reasonable) place where the man or the woman feels like having ‘it’, one could think timing is not a factor when it comes to having a romp in the sack. But according to some scientists, there are specific times Sexz is good for the body, especially married couples, who do it without apprehension of being caught or the fear of pregnancy. Given that the hormones influence how people feel a gynecologist are released, it seems pertinent to point out that Sexz can be more helpful at certain times than some other times, and some of the good times you should consider having ‘it’ include:

In the morning: It is a norm for men to want to have Sexz in the morning, because even by the time they wake up, their testosterone level is at the peak, usually at about 50 per cent more than any other time of the day, which explains why they usually wake up with an erection. But beyond the pleasure derivable from the response to stimuli, studies have shown that Sexz in the morning is good for the body. According to an American research scientist, Dr. Debby Herbenick, having Sexz in the morning makes couples feel more upbeat – positive and making them feel that good things will happen – throughout the day and it boosts their immune system. She also revealed that the endorphin hormone released boosts the mood of such persons, which could make their day exciting. She added, “Having Sexz in the morning also releases the feel-good chemical oxytocin, which makes couples feel loving all day long.” This is perhaps more instructive for women who rarely want Sexz in the morning because their mind is not prepared for it, but prefer it at night.
After a day gone bad: Ordinarily, when people are depressed or frustrated about certain situations, keeping to themselves and being a recluse is usually the commonest response, and so Sexz could be the last thing on their minds, say when they get home later in the day, but according to experts, that is a good time to have Sexz. A Toronto-based Sexzologist, Jessica O’Reilly, told Women’sHealthMag that from holding hands to touching, hugging and getting down to the real thing with their partners could boost their mood at such times. She said, “Studies show that Sexz and other forms of physical affection, even holding hands, significantly improve your mood and lower stress levels for days to come.
As long as your lover is not the source of the anger, such Sexz can be red hot.” In other words, the release of love hormone, feel good hormone and other hormones that improve mood would relieve the person of such stress. It is however worthy of note that a man may not be in the mood for Sexz when he’s down, more so that stress is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction, but findings have shown that men who pull themselves out of that distress and are receptive to the touch of their wives, tend to feel better after the Sexzual activity because of the hormones that would have been released. In fact, it has been argued that looking at romantic partners or having Sexz itself could reduce pain.
