9 More Reasons

Here are the other 9 reasons to have sex, according to Women's Health magazine.


10. Getting busy on the regular can improve your flexibility.

11. Love the skin you're in. For some people, gettin' busy can boost body image, Resh says.

12. Yes, tonight, honey--I have a headache. Recent studies have shown that doing the horizontal hustle can bring temporary headache relief.

13. Use it or lose it. Says marriage therapist Michele Weiner Davis, author of The Sex-Starved Wife: "The more you have sex, the more likely you'll be to continue to produce testosterone, one of the primary hormones responsible for sexual desire."

14. Strengthen your core -- it's like Pilates without the annoyingly perfect instructor.

15. Good sex creates more love each time, that's why it's called 'making love.

16. Feel the power. "When things go well in the bed and you're pleasing your partner," says San Francisco sex therapist Sandor Gardos, Ph.D., "you feel more confident and powerful in other parts of your life."

17. Activate your taste buds. "Your sensitivities are heightened after sexual intercourse," Gardos says. "That bottle of wine or chocolate bar will taste even better."

18. Seriously pissed? Instead of screaming your head off, save your voice and have sex. It's a great way to release tension.
