Stories of Fantasies

4. Strengthens relationships

Considerable research indicates that being in a positive relationship can improve your overall health and wellbeing. Happily married couples are less likely to develop health complications, such as

cancer

and

heart failure

, and so on average live longer.

Your body experiences a whole roller coaster of hormones when you have sex and during the pillow talk after.

The most important hormone is oxytocin, which is appropriately labelled the

’love hormone'

. This particular hormone is important for the need to bond and nurture and is released when you are

cuddled

and

have contact

with your partner.
