3 Benefits Of Routine Sexual Relations, Help Relieve Stress!

JAKARTA - Having sex is an important moment for married couples. Sexual relationships that are carried out regularly can provide various benefits both physically and mentally.

"Being involved in sexual activity is normal and healthy, because it helps keep your mind and body active. Regular sexual activity can positively affect physically and emotionally," said gynecologist and obstetrician, Dr. Sonamm Tiwari, quoted from Healthshots, on Sunday, August 3, 2025.

The benefits of having regular sexual intercourse for physical and psychological health are as follows.

1. Improve cardiovascular health

Regular sexual activity can provide moderate cardiovascular exercise. During sex, heart rate, blood flow, and oxygen consumption increase.

This can increase overall cardiovascular health. With that, the risk of heart disease and stroke can be lowered.

2. Reduce stress

One of the most prominent health benefits of routine sexual activity is its ability to reduce stress and increase positive mood. This is because when having sex, the body will release endorphins, which are known as good mood hormones.

These hormones help fight stress and sub-districts, which make couples feel more relaxed and satisfied. Regular sex can also create a cycle of improving emotional well-being and overall happiness.

3. Improve the immune system

Routine sexual activity also has a positive impact on the immune system. Sexual enthusiasm encourages the production of immunoglobulin A (IgA), an antibody that plays an important role in protecting the body from infection.

With the immune system increasing, the body will be better prepared to fight disease and infection, especially those caused by inflammation from free radicals.
