Having an orgasm is incredible for intimacy, but there are other amazing health benefits associated with the “Big O” that may surprise you.
Several health experts suggest that having regular orgasms can benefit your skin, improve sleep, and even boost your immunity. In an October 2024 interview with Glamour, sex therapist Dr. Nan Wise explained that the brain and vagina work together during sexual stimulation. When you reach climax, neurotransmitters are released, sending pleasure signals throughout your body. Experiencing this chemical reaction regularly, whether daily or monthly, can work wonders for your overall health and may even contribute to a longer life.
“These substances are wonderful for your overall physical and emotional well-being. They can reduce stress, improve sleep, enhance immunity, and boost mood,” said Dr. Wise. “Orgasms have been shown to have benefits for our hormones, immune system, and health of the pelvic floor. Most research on longevity benefits are done on men, but we have no reason to believe that regular orgasms wouldn’t also have a positive impact on women’s longevity as well. Regular orgasms have been linked to overall well-being and sexual satisfaction,” Dr. Wise added.
