THE BENEFITS AND DETRIMENTS OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE

It Can Boost Your Immune System: With all the concerns about cold and flu viruses, combating germs can sometimes feel like a full-time job which you have no other choice than to attend to and can be as very frustrating as the situation of a eunuch who wants to satisfy his darling. Individuals who have sex once or twice a week show thirty percent higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A, which is known to boost the immune system and thus make them protective. So, you can escape the attack of cold and flu by having a bedroom date with your spouse.

Sexual intercourse as an exercise: Having sex is a kind of exercise that stretches the back of the male sex involved in the sex. The up-down movement of the spinal-track during sex enables the back bone or spinal cord to compress and stretch which makes it a mechanical way of stretching one’s back just like in the whirling of one’s waist exercise. During sex as well, the male sex rests on his arms and sometimes raises himself up several times so as not to put too much weight on the female sex and thus stretches his arms in the course. There are many other physical exercise benefits which can be derived from sex which I do not touch here even for the female sex who is also involved in the sexual intercourse.

Sexual intercourse helps in strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, which contract during orgasm. This can help women to improve their bladder control and avoid incontinence. You can boost this benefit even more by practicing Kegel exercises during sex: a Kegel exercise compress is performed by drawing your lower pelvic muscles up and holding them up high and tight, as if you're trying to stop a flow of urine.

Sexual intercourse as a source of pleasure: Sexual intercourse is a great thing to do when it comes to achieving the apex of pleasure anyone can dream of. At the point of orgasm; there lies a great moment of unexplainable pleasure that makes both the male and female involved in the activity of sexual intercourse feel they’re no more on planet earth and this makes both sexes speak this foreign language which even the both does not understand. At that point in time when the orgasm apex is reached no pain can be felt and this explains how magical sexual intercourse gives pleasure.

As the start of generation: Before any breed can be brought alive in the case of human beings there must be the coming together of the both gender with which the male sex during sexual intercourse deposits the male sex gamete in the female and thus conception which is the genesis of an offspring which is as well the begin of another generation.

          It can cause divorce: With regard to divorce laws, the refusal to entertain sexual intercourse with one's spouse may give rise to grounds for divorce which may be listed under "grounds of abandonment". Concerning no-fault divorce jurisdictions, author James G. Dwyer stated that no-fault divorce laws "have made it much easier for a woman to exit a marital relationship, and wives have obtained greater control over their bodies while in a marriage" because of legislative and judicial changes regarding the concept of a marital freedom when a man rapes his wife.

The specificity of questions concerning sexual activity can additionally affect definitions of sexual intercourse or other sexual behaviors. Another study by the Kinsey Institute sampled 484 people, ranging in ages 18 to 96. The study reported that nearly 95% of its participants "agreed that penile-vaginal intercourse meant 'had sex.' But the numbers changed as the questions got more specific". 11% of respondents based "had sex" on whether the man had achieved an orgasm, concluding that absence of an orgasm does not constitute "having had" sex; "bout 80 percent of respondents said penile-anal intercourse meant 'had sex.' About 70 percent of people believed oral sex was sex." Condom use is also a factor, with some men stating that sexual activity involving the protection of a condom is not "real sex" or "the real thing".

One study reported that older generations of men (65 or older) in particular do not view sexual activity involving the protection of a condom to be sex. This view is common among men in Africa, where sexual activity involving the protection of a condom is often associated with emasculation because condoms prevent direct penile–to–skin genital contact.

Sexual intercourse, when involving a male participant, often ends when the male has ejaculated, and thus the partner might not have time to reach orgasm. In addition, premature ejaculation (PE) is common, and women often require a substantially longer duration of stimulation with a sexual partner than men do before reaching an orgasm. Masters and Johnson found that men took approximately 4 minutes to reach orgasm with their partners; women took approximately 10–20 minutes to reach orgasm with their partners, but 4 minutes to reach orgasm when they masturbated.

Scholars, such as Weiten et al., state that "Many couples are locked into the idea that orgasms should be achieved only through intercourse," that "the word foreplay suggests that any other form of sexual stimulation is merely preparation for the 'main event'" and that "cause women reach orgasm through intercourse less consistently than men," they are likelier than men to fake an orgasm to satisfy their sexual partners.
