JAKARTA - Just as our moods often change due to weather changes, so does our desire to make love. In fact, many experts reveal that couples make love more often when the weather is cold than when it is hot.

Psychotherapist Kelley Kitley, citing the HerWorld page, Tuesday, August 24, revealed that when the weather is cold like the rainy season, we spend more time with our partners. Making love can definitely improve the quality of the relationship.

But there are 4 reasons why when the weather is cloudy, cold, and rainy, it can increase your sex appetite.

Making love releases endorphins

If you experience signs of seasonal depression, laziness, boredom for no reason, sleeping more often, fight the game of love.

“Making love can be considered a sport. It releases endorphins that can make you happier, which can lead to better relationships.” said Kitley.

So, if you don't have time to go to the gym, put on the best workout clothes and do top-notch fitness moves with your favorite personal trainer (read: partner).

Making love increases endurance

Although orgasm does not work instantly like cold medicine, it can provide a fairly good body defense system. Dr. Jessica O'Reilly, PhD, author of The New Sex Bible: The New Guide to Sexual Love, reveals that making love can increase endurance.

In fact, according to one study, levels of immunoglobulins (flu fighting substances) move higher when you have sex three (or more) a week.

Making love can reduce stress

When the weather outside is cold, it makes you feel "trapped" in the house. When you start FOMO (fear of missing out), by making love you can restore the increased stress level.

Making love can also relieve the nervousness that hit. So, if you want to do public speaking, it's better to have sex before going on stage to avoid stage fright.

Making love helps you sleep

Cold weather makes you susceptible to illnesses such as the flu and nasal congestion. If you find it difficult to sleep due to this, try having an orgasm before bed.

O'Reilly reveals that after sex, your brain releases substances that can make you relaxed and sleepy, such as serotonin and opioids.
