(As the article below mentions my name, I got it from Google Alerts. It was written by by Parul Tyagi and published in EzineArticles I do believe that the writer is going too far (in my opinion, sex is good because it is good) but I decided to republish it here…By the way, I also believe the writer or the article is quite optimistic in saying that we can have a 2-3 min orgasm. It never happened to me… )
Paulo Coelho’s book titled “Eleven Minutes” suggests that the “act of coming together” just takes about 2-3 minutes, while the remaining 9 minutes are no more than an attempt to reach the “crescendo” when a hormonal discharge provides ecstasy like none other!
Scientists have often debated that sex is extremely beneficial for our health, but the lack of sex in good measures can have negative effects. On the other hand, too much sex can also be harmful; if you indulge in sex for more than 3 times a week, you are exposing yourself to the risk of a weaker immune system as well as vulnerability to infections…
1. The balance of your mental and emotional health is definitely influenced by sex. While abstinence often leads to anxiety or paranoia and even depression…having sex can cure cases of light depressions. After having exercised sex, the brain releases endorphins that decrease stress and induce a wonderful state of euphoria.
2. For all you women, having regular sex means freedom from expensive salon treatments. An excellent beauty treatment, having sex actually doubles the level of estrogen in women and makes their hair shine with brilliance while making their skin supple and softer.
3. And if you want to live longer, then look no further than your own bedroom. According to a research carried out at Queens University in Belfast, Ireland, having regular sex increases the lifespan in humans. It was found that out of the people of the same age and health, those who had more frequent orgasms faced 50% less death rate than who people who didn’t have frequent orgasms.
4. Sex is an excellent deep-cleansing treatment as well. Since sex is a strenuous but enjoyable exercise, when you have sex the pores of your skin are cleansed leaving a brighter and glowing skin as well as decreasing the risk of developing dermatitis.
5. An inexpensive and pleasurable exercise, sex can make you lose weight. When you have sex after a candlelight romantic dinner, not only do you burn all the fat and carbohydrates you consumed, but you also stay healthy at no extra cost! Consider this: A single session of passionate, mind-blowing sex (even regular sex) can burn about 200 calories. This is equivalent to running for 15 minutes on a treadmill!
6. Ladies, if you like you man to have bulging biceps then have sex more often. Sex is a great way to strengthen muscles. Imagine the effort made by your man through those difficult pushes and flexions! Of course, it all depends on the stunts in your bed…but it’s definitely better than running for miles on miles.
7. The more active your sex life, the more attractive and irresistible you become for the opposite sex. Really! An active sex life means that your body gets into the habit of releasing more pheromones, chemicals that attract all those gorgeous, luscious women! No wonder Casanova was so popular!
8. Sex can sharpen your senses; especially enhance your sense of smell. After sex, prolactin is released that activates the stem cells in the brain to form new neurons in the olfactory bulb. This helps to improve your sense of smell.
9. A pain reliever, sex is TEN times more effective than painkillers such as Valium. Just before orgasm, the hormone oxytocin’s level rises almost 5 times, leading to release of large amount of endorphins. Endorphins are natural painkillers and relieve you of pain, minor headaches, and migraines without any after effects. Next time your lady has a headache, treat her with a vigorous session of lovemaking rather than a Valium.
10. The act of Kissing stimulates salivation, which helps clean food particles stuck between the teeth and lowers the acidity level in your mouth. This is the primary cause of tooth decay. So kiss all you want, after all it’s a great excuse!
So my dear friends, sex is not just good for the mind, the body, but the wallet as well!

Ciao Paulo, il sesso è come il lusso !
Quello di valore é solo per pochi !
Ciao Rosetta
Quante risposte a questo articolo!
La parola “sesso” sembra l’innesco ad un grande incendio.
Basta citarla e una moltitudine drizza le orecchie, vuole parlarne, sentire, saperne qualcosa di più, quasi che mancasse sempre qualche fondamentale notizia su di essa e sul modo di praticare il sesso.
Fare sesso e fare l’amore. Sono due cose diverse a mio parere. Sesso si può fare anche meccanicamente, tanto per rispondere ad un impulso. Fare l’amore è tutto un altro pianeta. Non dico migliore perchè ciascuno la può pensare come vuole. Ma direi che le due cose potrebbero equivalere a “mangiare” di gran fretta, trangugiando il cibo per una fame esagerata o preparare una bella tavola, accendere una candela profumata e poi, in compagnia con la persona amata, gustarsi lentamente il cibo buono, tenendosi per mano e guardandosi negli occhi.
Quale delle due cose è la migliore?
Se hai una fame disperata non guardi tanto per il sottile, devi mangiare.
Se la tua fame può attendere, allora puoi amare il cibo in compagnia. Io preferisco la seconda ipotesi, tuttavia l’importante è non fare del male a nessuno e dimostrare che siamo degni di essere definiti esseri umani. Poi ogni cosa può essere buona, se la finalità è buona.
It’s quite qurious topic!
Great picture!!!ha ha ha…so we should look that way, if we have no sex? ha ha ha, too funny, thanks for that challenge, I love that post!!!
you guys are so superficial, hardly any of the facts stated above are actually true nonetheless scientific!!!
sex does stimulate the brain to release endorphins… so does exercise, and listening to music… and a whole bunch of other things as well…
he talked about skin pores?! that’s not science, u wanna sweat? go to the gym!
sex makes your skin bright and shiny?? what is he like 10 years old?
sex strengthens you man? lol no comment
sex is an extremely strenous act that needs physical ability to be enjoyable
don’t get me wrong, i’m not against sex; i’m all for it, but sex should NOT be advertised as coca cola, it’s not a beverage, you shouldn’t have it every day, you shouldn’t have it with any one… in fact i’m an advocate for abstinence before marriage
CORRECT!!!
Having sex whith the one whe love is better…rs
What a curious subject…rsrs
sex leaves its signature on us, related to having or not having sex. but not as we “special” humans may like to see.
this signature indicates a continuum between humans & other animals: if we look at their mating behavior we can find similarities to ours.
a single person not having a partner, but happy/content with one’s life and having a positive attitude, provides an atmosphere that appears to be a kind of signal to some people looking for sex.
just looking rationally at it, it is clear that pleasure wins: it is a positive selection force to keep each species surviving during evolution.
looking at it from a non-rational angle: the pleasure that the human species feels is shared with all other animals. the pure act of reproduction that nature aims for is hidden in this pleasure. a kind of beautiful gift; nature can only give us this gift via hormones & other physical processes. denying this continuum just makes the view of our universe restricted & biased.
I started to look at this topic in such a way, when we had a cat in heat in our neighborhood.
she attracted all kinds of stray tom cats. every day, she had a date with another one: there she was, wooing for the male in a charming way.
After a weekend having her around, I had a surreal meeting. there she was, a woman sitting close to our boss acting in a similar way & generating the same atmosphere as this female cat.
it later turned out that those similarities were based on real “facts” that had happened in their lives :o)
my comment is: sex is sacred if done out of love and not out of lust, or done out of health reasons. sex symbolizes unity, that men and women are one. yes, sex has health benefits, but these are only secondary, because the goal of sex is to be one with your wife/husband. it is like meditation or praying; it does have good effects like lowering stress levels, but the ultimate goal is to be one with God.
Hi,
I just wanted to comment, this article is written by a woman and not by a guy. Parul Tyagi is an India name given to girls. :)
Before creating the world God first created sex. Then He created all the rest.
DRD
Antes da Criação Deus primeiro criou o sexo. Depois criou todo o resto.
DRD
Good heavens!reading this article makes me think watching television, with commercials on it, advertising the Needs for SEX! it’s hillarious. Why then they just put it as simple as this; SEX is important for the reproduction of another offspring without it we will not exist…end of the COMMERCIAL.
Guys, great article, I read everybodys’ remarks on this topic ‘SEX’ ! I respect everybodys’ comments most of them makes good sense. Just a little thing to add here, is that there is no specific numbers, like how many time we should make love with our partners, as it says here that we should do it 3 times/week ! cause it all depends on various factors, for example some people got high sex drive, some people got high sex drive BUT, they got hardly any time to cope up with their daily life and other things to put them in priority than doing sex 3 times/week, some people got so many other issues. Lot of people make love like twice/week and even once every week or, even once every 10 days and they are happy, and infact I have seen people they lived for more than 85 years so I don’t agree with the article’s section where it says that if you make more love then you will live longer. anywyas…please remarks on my comments
cheers.. !
que bueno es un ahorro en salud y belleza jajaaa
E Bom para tudo, dor de cabeça, dor disto, dor aquilo…..
vc. que não tem um parceiro…..faça sexo sozinha…
eu me curtia bastante sozinha, vai vêr que é por isso que eu encontrei mais uma alma gemea.
haha! This article was as useless as sex should be. I mean it’s why sex is so good, when it has no goal.
the article said that for the ladies sex makes them look more beautiful, and it is true, when a woman makes love to a man she is really in love with, she will look gorgeous. not only will she radiate physical beauty, but the type of beauty that goes beyond that, the one that radiates from the soul.
A fun article, Paulo. I agree with you about enjoying this until some other expert says differently…then still enjoy every single millisecond of a sexual encounter anyway :-)
The key to enjoyment is your favorite word ENTHUSIASM which if fully heighten in a lover, will help to insure that all of the above listed benefits of sex will be checked off with a huge smile, a joyful scream, a huge breath, a giddy sigh, and a smoked Phillip Morris cigarette as the epilogue. :-)
Have a romping evening!!!
Lainee
He contradicts himself right in the beginning. If successful sex leads to such a wonderful state of well-being, and it does, then it stands to reason that sex everyday would be a megamultivitamin regimen holistic approach to good health.
Oh man, yeah its true! So we really need that sex ha??
Well everything that is too much is bad for your hlth…have sex moderately!!!:))
I’m sure the choice of picture was meant to be lighthearded and fun, but I think it gets – albeit unintentionally – into the heart of a sickness between the modern world’s relationship with beauty and sex. Sex is now portrayed in the media and entertainement worlds as – almost exclusively – a physical union between good looking people. Understandably – it’s easier on the eyes… But I fear the by-product of this is a weakening of the confidence of ‘mortals’ – of awkward, self-conscious and, yes, let’s say it – unattractive people. Sex and the physical and spiritual intensity of coupling that it creates is, I believe, not the preserve of the shiny happy people. It’s for all of us and we shouldnt let our society fall into the trap of portraying it as a young and beautful persons lifestyle. The result is a perversion of the act of sex by those that do not feel they belong – of which we have too much proof. It often opens a door for evil, for the devil inside.
I say this not to excuse, you understand, but to plead for awareness that what can seem casual and non-causal – can in fact breed a dangerous environment.
God bless us all
Rob
so true….
thanks for the great comment.
the picture bothered me, too….
beautifully said.
Very deep, Rob! But is possible that trought satire, laughter, we purify our hearts…I had a good laughter seeing the picture, I still laugh, every time I see it, and I laugh if I remember it…
Re#2. “For all you women, having regular sex means…”
I think the writer is talking about ORGASM, not sex itself. The act of sex could be to satisfy your husband’s needs, or mercy “f*^k”. It does not always give the same pleasure to a woman. Think of ‘working girls’. Do they get any pleasure?? But they get sex daily or probably hourly. Does it count? I am sure, it does not! LOL
RE#1. …”While abstinence often leads to anxiety or paranoia and even depression…”
Well, if this was true, than all convents would be run by depressed nuns, etc..
One more question to the author of this article:
Does masturbation count as SEX? It leads to orgasm, that’s for sure. But does it make you emotionally healthier?!…
i was thinking about the same question re: does a woman benefit from the health benefits of sex by masturbating. but with my experience, i am likely to get most of the health benefits when having sex (with my partner) than when masturbating. i think after-sex cuddling and smooching helps release some of the hormones mentioned in the article, in addition to those released during orgasm.
WAOOOOOOO THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
“RedJuice Factor” WOW…what Paulo’s Google Alerts can do for a content and copy writer is almost as good as having sex!!! So start writing on your blogs mention the magic two words and miracles may happen…
By the way: 0 comments on the original post:Ezine @rticle!!!
Zsofi!! i just have to copy your comment and post it aals :))
you made me laugh and I agree with you totally…
so here it comes again;
‘Seriously? Then i will just go to a shop and buy a guy and have sex with him. And i do this as often as i want to. And in fact i would want that very often. Is this how the writer thought single women should do? I mean where do i just get a man all of a sudden?
And why is he calling the ladies? I wanted to have sex more often in my relationships than my exes…
Oh and for the teeth cleaning, if you don’t mind i will just use toothbrush….’
also like MIMI’s reaction:
‘bull shit. cold sex is no good 4 nothing, its only a sort of exercising. making love is the best thing can ever happen to sbdy. So people, make love!’
no comment for my part, they said it for me,
i do not say this Guy who wrote this is all wrong,
Endorfin etc thats truth, or can be a pain reducer…
its one big bl bla to get females to jump up and please the Man because thats so in our benefit, quite hilarious
lets go back to Eleven minutes, Brida thats my cup of tea
yes sex is good…i prefer making LOVE.
Far hang
This is a republished article……… Lol
Your focus on attacking tricked you
I’m more knowledgeable now..thanks to Parul Tyagi!
Great! Another reason for all those lonely singles to freak out! Not only are you alone, but you’re going to DIE. Awesome.
Seriously, you don’t need a relationship–or sex–to be happy or healthy. It’s a dangerous myth.
Poor guy with the book! Is beauty also the greatest seducer of women?
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…breathe and yeassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..
So let’s swallow this pill, ladies…
…but be careful – this guy does’t tell the truth – the after effects can last a life long. ;-)
…and yes, in many aspects the author is going too far.
Seriously? Then i will just go to a shop and buy a guy and have sex with him. And i do this as often as i want to. And in fact i would want that very often. Is this how the writer thought single women should do? I mean where do i just get a man all of a sudden?
And why is he calling the ladies? I wanted to have sex more often in my relationships than my exes…
Oh and for the teeth cleaning, if you don’t mind i will just use toothbrush….
Wow! not surprising level of comment so quickly, maybe a new record? I laughed with joy when I read the topic knowing there would be much excellent dialogue, obviously the posting goal. I would put forth that I heartily enjoyed the article and everyones responses. For me, being in a monogomous and loving relationship will allow me to be able to hold these as truths for justification, or in other words, for selling to my wife! Unfortunately I fear that her education as a nurse, and her knowledge of my nature and my motives, will inevitably give me away, but I aim to thrust forth, pun intended, with renewed vigour using the scientific evidence produced herin as a foundation for complete justification for increasing levels of sex. Wish me luck!
she has to at least give you one for effort…lol
I wish you luck!
One day i realized my headache was gone after having sex so since then every time i have headache i make love with my man, it allways works.
I have come to appreciate Paolo’s perspective on many subjects, and it is no surprise that on this one his thoughts are fact-based, insightful, and applicable in a very practical way.
More people should read and study these things and thereby decrease their fear of that which can make them happier and healthier.
Great! I love sex and I do feel much better after a good orgasm…but this is way to hetero normative for me. How about “Being a lesbian is good for your health…because only a woman can make another woman cum every single time.” or “Being gay is excellent for your health, the g-spot is more easily accessed through the back entrance…” Something like that!
i agree that sex is a medicine to our body…and bield ur stamina… nice article…
Articles like this make me chuckle. My opinion is: Sex does not equal love nor does love equal sex. You love your child put don’t f*ck them I hope. Which leads me to:
The act of sex is like an itch. You respond to a stimulus and you get a tingle in your crotch. You can either go to your partner to have the “itch scratched” or do it yourself. You could say sex is for people too lazy to get themselves off…lol…just joking.
You can have mind-blowing sex with a stranger or your partner. The endorphins released are confused for ‘love’. When you break it down sex is only a mechanical function; to abstain makes sets us further apart from animals. An animal responds to pheromones and seeks the female to impregnant without choice.
I think its very neat and tidy to say I have sex because I love him/her. I don’t care what reasons you use to bed a person. Be responsible though-don’t make babies because you wanted to f*ck. We spend more effort on making sure our pets don’t randomly procreate; there should be ad campaigns against random human baby-making.
bull shit. cold sex is no good 4 nothing, its only a sort of exercising. making love is the best thing can ever happen to sbdy. So people, make love!
well i like the fact that many people left comments on this post about sex :) seems like everybody cares about sex :)
yeahhh,i like sex,i enjoy it !
thanx Paolo for this post :)
Gob bless sex !!!
BG 7.11: I am the strength of the strong, devoid of passion and desire. I am sex life which is ‘not’ contrary to religious principles, O lord of the Bhāratas [Arjuna].
In everyone’s enthusiasm to comment, I think a lot of people have forgotten that this article was written by PARUL TYAGI and only republished by Paulo Coelho. In Paulo’s opinion, sex is good because it is good. Couldn’t agree more :) The article was an interesting read nevertheless..
My Apology to Paulo Coelho, the above scientific nonsense
is not from Paulo but from some another poor in Mind,
God cure him the writer of nonsense ASAP. Amen
I loved it ….
Before Barak Obama came to power everybody was excited and
everybody saw a hope of change or world policy, a new era of mankind, but soon after mankind realized he is just as much as a puppet as those before him, just see Obama Deception in utube, now I am asking people why everything Paulo says is true?? why people are looking for someone as a father figure? what role does he play in the reality??
And as a medical doc I tell you yes sex is good but from the number 2 downward is just a pure nonsense, have sex and have fun and pleasure but don tell B***S*** to people, Regards
Farhang, I couldn’t agree more with you!!! WELL SAID!!! :)
Everything sounds great, the only thing is that 200 calories is nothing……
If, its true. So i must wait few years before i go with girle to bed. Now its hard to me meet someone and nearly impossible go wit her to bed. So i must life with my sadness next few year :(
totalmene de acuerdo. Usted es un genio. siempre lo admire. gracias por enseñar. saludos. cariños!!!!!!!!!!
yaaaaaaaaaayyyy… more reasons to get it on :D
If it is so beneficial, why were Adam and Eve forbidden to eat the fruit? Oh! the strange ways of heaven!
