ReplyDeleteEvery morning, you apply makeup and by lunch, you already need a touch up but if you spend 15 minutes a day doing the deed, your cheeks will naturally flush, your lips will have that perfect red pout, and your skin will glow. Sex is natures makeup! Dr Michael Roizen explains during sex, "You get excited, and you vasodilate. Just like vasodilation happens in the male penis, which is swelling it with blood...well, the same thing is occuring in all your mucosal membranes to give you that ruddy look, that redness or that glow. It's all the same phenomenon." Sex effects last for hours!

ReplyDelete"Other than sun exposure, the major wrinkler of the skin is your arteries," explains Roizen. "Whether you have a wrinkle in your heart, which is a heart attack, or a wrinkle in your skin, it's the same process." Good blood flow brings nutrients and oxygen to the skin, which staves off wrinkling. Guess what increases blood flow and makes your skin act younger? You guessed it-SEX.

ReplyDeleteWe all know that the sexiest thing a woman can have is confidence. According to sexpert Mary Jo Rapini, knocking boots gives every woman a swagger. "When I ask men: 'What is the most attractive thing about your woman?' One of the top three things is always the way she moves." After getting frisky, you walk with an even more feminine gait. Your head is held high, your hips swaying from side to side-in other words, you're getting your strut on. That confidence just reels the men right back in, creating a perfect cycle of sex appeal.

ReplyDeleteSex can also contribute to a healthy head of hair. Roizen points out, "Each hair follicle has a blood vessel to it, and your blood flow is a major determinate of both internal and external beauty." More blood flow means your nourishing your hair. Plus, you know sliding around in your sheets gives your tresses that va-va voluminous sexy bedhead.

ReplyDeleteThere's a reason wrinkles are called worry lines-but no amount of eye cream can put your mind at ease like the horizontal hula. "Sex is the best stress reliever," says Rapini. Since orgasming is all about learning to relax and breathe, when you're having sex regularly, the calming effects cumulate and you'll enjoy long-term stress relief. Rapini points out, "The normal sex act itself takes between 3 and 20 minutes. That's not very long, but it influences your whole day, it can even influence you for several days." And that lack of tension will be all over your beautiful face!

ReplyDeleteDuring sex, you'll have even more to show off. According to Dr. Roizen, during sex, "breasts enlarge 25 percent; nipple height increases a half inch." You'll be wowing your man sans Wonder Bra.

ReplyDeleteWhile it might be hard to motivate yourself to get to the gym, if you're ready to spend some time on your back-or on all fours-or in a pretzel shape, sex can give you a great cardio workout. According to Roizen, "From an arterial standpoint, having sex is the equivalent of engaging in Zumba." The more you do it, the more it does for your bod!

ReplyDeleteIf a woman has an average sex life, her real age can be two to eight years younger than the number on her driver's license, notes Roizen. "You end up being functionally younger...it's a consistent effect," he says. It lowers your risk of the three major killers: heart disease, cancer, and all others-which is really depression, suicide, mood changes, and things that cause attitudinal changes." If you keep getting frisky with your partner, you can both turn back the hands of time.
So, gorgeous, the next time someone asks you what your beauty secret is, you can tell her it's your sex life. And how!
