The benefit of sex against aging, according to science

 

It is known that, fortunately, sex is much more than the act intended solely for the preservation of the human species. It has long been known that it is pleasure, it is connection, and also that it provides many benefits to mental and physical health.

In short, in terms of physical health, sexual relations keep us in good shape. Although they do not count as an exercise routine, they help us maintain and optimize flexibility, promote cardiovascular health and blood circulation.

Furthermore, during the sexual act, endorphins and other neurotransmitters are released, substances that act as analgesics produced by our own body, and provide a feeling of great well-being and happiness. In this way, sex practiced safely and consensually also helps to deal with stress and anxiety. Also, in this emotional sense, it improves self-esteem, makes us feel good about ourselves and, as if that were not enough, strengthens the emotional connections and intimacy of life in the relationship, even when only masturbation is practiced as a couple.

30 New Year's resolutions and how to keep them

 New Year's resolutions are those personal objectives that we set for ourselves when we cross the December goal, but do they exist? Are there any known real cases of people who comply with them?

To the “go to the gym”, “quit smoking” or “learn English” many more can be added in case you fail in the mission of fulfilling any of the three. Well, the truth is that these are complicated.
