Are you getting your recommended 200 orgasms a year??

Once again LELO's newsletter has some great advice based on scientific studies.  Here is their article:

200 ORGASMS FOR BETTER HEALTH - BUT WHO'S COUNTING?

An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away? A prescription for pleasure? Is that a stethoscope in your pocket…?

The titles for this section practically wrote themselves when we read about a recent study from Duke University that found a clear correlation between a healthy sex life and looking and feeling up to six years younger. A key point of this research is that this physiological fountain of youth can be attained by having over 200 orgasms a year; truly a bit of science we can get behind!

Among the benefits to be expected from this magic number:

• A bolstered immune system – sexual activity boosts your body's amount of immunoglobin A, an enzyme that increases your body's resilience to illnesses like colds and the flu.
• An improved appearance – the same endorphins that help to boost intimacy also keep your skin supple and improve your complexion, while the act of sex itself is an excellent calorie burner!
• More refreshing sleep patterns – the drop in blood pressure and the release of natural sedatives that occurs after having an orgasm can lead to sleep, and regulate your sleeping patterns.

Of course, reaching this target of 200 orgasms is not a given for everyone, but we hope you agree our LELO Pleasure Objects more than lend a hand. One way they can benefit is to help women reach what is known as the 'orgasmic plateau' ("I can see my orgasm from here!"), a stage of arousal where orgasm is imminent - or provide the extra oomph needed to reach the coveted climax.

So next time you feel like enjoying yourself, take extra peace of mind from the fact that the benefits go beyond pleasure, and you're doing your health a good service as well.

With our hectic schedules, it is often times not easy to gather the time and energy to climax but with these benefits, losing a few minutes of sleep sounds like it's worth it!
