JAKARTA - Sex is not just to share fun and satisfying things with your partner. Sexual relationships that are carried out regularly and happily can also provide various benefits for the body.

So is having sex regularly healthy? Yes. Is it good for your health? Yes, said evolutionary biologist and sex researcher Justin R. Garcia, quoted from USA Today, on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

Here are some other benefits for the body by having sex regularly, quoted from Healthshots.

1. Lowering blood pressure

Research in Europe, which examines 51 healthy men and women, aged 20 to 47, shows a close relationship between the frequency of sexual intercourse with blood pressure. The more sex is carried out, the more blood pressure can decrease and be stable.

2. Increase productivity

Sex can increase productivity because it can increase immunity, quality sleep, cognitive function, and reduce stress. All of these contribute to better performance in the workplace.

3. Reduce headaches

An obesrvational study shows that sex tends to help reduce migraines. Having sex reduces severity or helps get rid of it for 70 percent of people who suffer from the problem.

4. Reduce stress

Sex can also help reduce stress. This is because these activities release hormones such as endorphins, oxytocin, and domains that make the body and mind relax, increase mood, and lower stress hormone levels such as cortisol.
