Psychological Benefits of Sex
There are many emotional and psychological benefits of making love. Sex is strongly linked to a better quality of life.

Better self-image: Some of these benefits include:
Sex can boost self-esteem and reduce feelings of insecurity, leading to more positive perceptions of ourselves.
Higher rates of happiness:
According to a 2015 study conducted in China, more consensual sex and better quality sex increases happiness.
More bonding:
Brain chemicals are released during sex, including endorphins, which decrease irritability and feelings of depression. Another hormone, oxytocin (the "hug drug") increases with nipple stimulation and other sexual activity.
Oxytocin helps foster a sense of calmness and contentment.
Relief from stress:
Chronic stress may contribute to lower sex frequency. However, sex can be an effective stress management technique. Sex reduces stress response hormones, like cortisoland adrenaline (epinephrine), with effects lasting well into the next day.
Improved sleep quality:
Orgasms trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which aids in sleep.
