As a sexual behavior psychologist, here are some links or benefits of a happy sex life to one’s mental health;
Can Elevate Your Mood
Partners who have a happy sex life tend to be happier naturally. Sex, especially when you orgasm, can increase the production of happy hormones such as endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. An increase in these hormones in the brain can help ward off mental disorders such as anxiety, stress, and depression, relieving any bad moods and leaving you in joyous or happy moods.
Can Enhance Bonding in Lovers
Partners who lead a happy sex life tend to be more connected to each other than those in sexually unsatisfied relationships. Sex is among the essential pillars for a happy partnership. Making love to your partner brings you close to them emotionally, physically, and psychologically. The intimacy games and exploring each other body open new bonding doors and makes you feel more connected, especially in relationships where both partners are sexually satisfied.
Can Improve Sleep Quality
Most people in relationships with good sex life are likely to have better sleep quality. Orgasming during sex can lead to the release of prolactin and oxytocin hormones which aid in body relaxation and enhance a better sleep duration and circle.
Can Be a Form Of Mindfulness Practice
Being present physically and mentally is key for lovers to enjoy all moments during sex. Focusing on your partner and the sensations you feel can count as a mindful habit to boost one’s ability to focus or concentrate as they pay attention to all things happening at the moment.
