Sex: The More, The Merrier you!

Spending time between the sheets can make you happier, according to a new study. 

From having a healthy heart to helping you look younger, the benefits of sexual intercourse have long been endorsed and acknowledged by doctors. Orgasms increase the circulation, keeping the blood flowing and increases endorphin release. 

According to the results published by Tim Wadsworth, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Colorado Boulder, suggest that people are generally happy when they have sex on the regular and they're even happier if they get a bit more.

"Sex and the Pursuit of Happiness: How Other People's Sex Lives are Related to Our Sense of Well-Being," was published in a recent edition of Social Indicators Research.

What’s even more interesting: the study found that people who believed they were having less sex than their peers were unhappier than those who believed they were having as much or more than their peers.     

"There's an overall increase in sense of well-being that comes with engaging in sex more frequently, but there's also this relative aspect to it," he said. "Having more sex makes us happy, but thinking that we are having more sex than other people makes us even happier."

Apparently getting frisky in bed with your partner is great way to keep a healthy heart, be happy and entice competition with your peers.
