Find out the No. 1 way to turn her on! (It's a technique from a sex therapist.)
Top five medical reasons to have sex tonight:
1. Sex reduces chronic pain
During sex, natural opiates in the brain--endorphins and corticosteroids--are released, and these help soothe your pain, be it an aching back or an aching head. (That's right, sex can cure a headache. That old excuse for rolling over and going to sleep no longer makes sense!) But for sex to work its painkilling magic, you have to have an orgasm, which triggers the release of oxytocin and then the excretion of morphine-like endorphins that null and void the nerve endings that are creating the pain.
2. Sex strengthens muscles.
When a woman has sex, it actually helps to make her vaginal muscles stronger as they stretch and contract during intercourse. When the muscles are stronger, there is an increased sensation of orgasm.
3. Sex helps you to lose weight.
If you have sex just one hour over the course of a week--that would be two to three times a week--you'll burn up to 100 calories. That's the kind of exercise everyone likes!

4. Sex helps you to sleep better.
When you have sex, endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers, are released. In addition to making you feel good, they can help you relax and sleep better.
5. Sex boosts your immunity.
By having sex, you're better able to fight off infections. And if you're already feeling poorly, it can help you to heal faster. Having sex once or twice a week is actually enough to cause an increase in your immune function since sex boosts the number of antibodies to fight off the germs that make you sick.
How often should you have sex? Do it this much and you'll be healthier and live longer.
And if that's not enough of a benefit, sex also boosts your sense of smell and can help prevent prostate cancer.
