How many times do you think about sex in a day?

Ten?

Twenty?

1,543?

Is this beginning to make you feel like a pervert?

What if we told you that having sex every day—not just thinking about it—can help you become a happier and healthier person. That sounds pretty damn obvious, we know. But what if we add that it's not just about the joys of getting laid, science says that daily sex can do a lot of wonders.

Below is our list of the benefits of bonking every goddamn day. Send this now to your partner now and tell them to "be prepared" later, your path to a better life begins here!

It Makes Life More Exciting

Imagine ending your long and tiring day with mind-blowing sex—every night! That's something to really look forward to, right? Especially if your gal is the playful kind who keeps sending you emoji-coded sext messages almost every hour. Good luck concentrating on work, buddy!

It Helps You Look Younger

According to Dr. David Weeks, a clinical neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland, sexually active older men (most participants were aged 45 to 55) tend to look five to seven years younger than their actual age. Getting laid regularly helps develop high levels of the natural steroid DHEA, or more popularly known as “the anti-aging hormone." 

It Boosts Your Immune System

It has been verified that having sex can help your body ward off cold and flu. Every time you have sex, your body raises the production of an antibody called immunoglobulin A, or IgA, which helps your body stay protected against cold and flu.

It Prevents Heart Attack

Just like running, sex is also considered as a good cardio activity. According to everydayhealth.com, having sex decreases risks of heart attack and stroke by keeping your heart in shape and raising your heart rate as if you're exercising on a treadmill or walking four to six miles an hour. However, this is by no means an excuse to skip gym time; working out provides a different benefit when it comes to sex.

It Can Lessen Your Girl's Wrinkles

Another hormone that gets pumped out during sex is estrogen. This female hormone helps smoothen your girl's skin and ease her nasty fine lines, including the dreaded wrinkles. So next time your girl becomes wary of the lines on her skin and face, give her a naughty wink.

It Helps You Fight Depression

Every time your heart rate increases, your brain tends to release natural chemicals that boost your levels of serotonin, the "happy hormone," to get you in a better mood. Serotonin is the body's key anti-depressant and is one of the major reasons why people feel happy and relaxed after an orgasm.

It Can Cure Headaches

Say good bye to Medicol and Advil, the only thing you need when you're suffering from a nasty headache is some good ol' lovin! Sex makes your body increase its production of oxytocin, the "love hormone," and other feel-good ­endorphins, which can help you ease and cancel pain.

It Can, Uhm, Fuck Stress Away

Pardon the pun, but yes it can help you fight stress. According to an article published on Mirror.co.uk, researchers found out that people who had sex during the last 24 hours are less stressed compared to others who have not engaged in any sexual activity. The study also showed that touching and spooning during and after sex lessens the body's secretion of cortisol, the "stress hormone."
