Top 6 Reasons to Have More Sex this Holiday Season

by Liberty on December 13th, 2007

Baby, it’s cold outside. Let’s hit the sheets!

‘Tis the season for trimming the tree, eating cookies, giving gifts, and…sex.

Yeah, that’s right. Sex.

Here at the Science & Health channel, it’s theme day today. Channel-wide, we’re giving you the tips and tricks you need to be at the top of your game this season. But you know at Healthbolt we can’t do things all status quo, so we’ve decided to give this theme a frisky spin and supply you with plenty of reasons to hit the sheets a bunch more this season (as if you needed any more ammunition, eh?) So…here we go:

1. Beat holiday weight gain with some physical activity - Yes, ladies and germs, doing the horizontal mambo can burn about 150 cals per 30 minutes. That’s about one glass of eggnog or a handful of tortilla chips. Seems like a good trade-off, doesn’t it? Indulging in your favorite yummies, then working it off in the sack. Not bad!
2. Fight the winter chill - Forget sweaters and blankets, you’ll be warmest when you’re buck nekked. Since sex increases blood flow to your brain and the other organs of your body, along with increasing your heart rate, circulation improves and suddenly those ice cold fingers get all nice and hot (as do other things, ahem).
3. Combat the holiday meat and cheese trap - If your hors d’oeuvres habit becomes a little extreme around the holidays, having sex may be just the ticket. Using sexercise as your secret arsenal may lower your cholesterol and allow for that extra bit of quiche.
4. Get those much-needed Zzzzz’s - When the stress of holiday shopping and obligations takes over, grab your honey and dive for the nearest available flat surface (or hell, do it standing up. Whatever.) Scoring the Big O may be one of the only times you let go of your other pressing thoughts and completely surrender to the moment. Doing so can relax you into a restful night’s sleep and can help ward off daily stress.
5. Make the holidays seem more personal - We get so caught up in the bustle of the season that often times we forget to tap into the love and appreciation we have for our spouse or significant other. Spending time connecting on an emotional level during lovemaking can rekindle those feelings suppressed by shopping lists and cookie recipes. Surprise your sweetie with a steamy session by the fire or put a tabletop Christmas tree in the bedroom and make love in the glow of its light.
6. Nail your goal of having a healthy 2008 - DHEA - your body’s super-hormone that promotes sexual response - helps balance the immune system, promotes bone growth, maintains and repairs tissues, and makes you smarter by improving cognitive health. It may also improve your cardio health and may function as an antidepressant. Sounds like a good set up for a Happy and Healthy New Year, doesn’t it?

So there you have it, dear readers - a Sexual Public Service Announcement from your holly, jolly pals here at Healthbolt, where we wish you a Very Sexy Holiday and a Steamy New Year!
