I’m guessing masturbating will also give you most of these benefits. Don’t want to leave the single people out, including myself lol

@David1986H good point.

Id say a benefit of partner or solo sex is you get to know your body, more likely to notice changes.

The only positive benefits of sex I’ve had is with hubby. He has taught me that sex is not just sex, it’s about intimacy, exploring each other’s bodies solo or together. Giving me my first orgasm through penetration. And getting me to that stage of being comfortable in my own skin. And a whole lot more of benefits of sex too.

It makes you think about the other person. Sex makes you aware of their needs in and out of the bedroom and that it is more about them than you. It teaches you to communicate and it can make you brave with rewards because of said bravery. It can break down barriers and cross all nations and colors.

Sex is the glue that keeps love strong and healthy…and if your not careful, love can bloom from it even if you don’t want it to.

The heart is treacherous and doesn’t know what it wants. It is more dangerous than the brain - sex thinks it knows what it wants and then decides something else. :rofl:

I find that sex is so much better when it is not about you. When I concentrate on what my OH wants or needs and not what I want. The sex is better and I often get more than if oI only cared about me getting off. Communication is a tremendous help before, during, and after sex.

When engaged in sex , you are not watching TV . Unless porn , never mind . When engaged in sex , you are not eating . Oops , you can be . Unless totally using self powered toys only , you are getting some exercise . I believe it leads to a very healthy relaxed body and mind .
