Orgasm is the culmination of heightened tension and arousal resulting from sexual stimulation involving the release of dopamine associated with pleasure and reward found in the nucleus of a person located in the brain.
Most individuals are not aware of the health benefits that one gains from orgasms apart from pleasure and exercise. Here are the health benefits of having an orgasm.
Blood Pressure
After an orgasm, blood pressure always tends to decrease. This is because of feel-good hormones released in large quantities alongside a relaxing hormone Prolactin. Besides that, the stressing hormone cortisol is always neutralised and released out of the body to give it a repellant appearance and defence mechanisms.

Stress Reduction
Study shows that men and women who have orgasms with their partners have greater satisfaction with their mental health. During orgasm, the hormone Oxytocin which is also called cuddle hormone is released in high quantity to boost the feelings of happiness.
A study suggests that if one is stressed and can get in the mood in the nick of time, orgasm may be a great stress reliever. The act of sex floods your brain with all sorts of feel-good chemicals while reducing the stress hormone cortisol.
Sleep Improvement
The calming effect of orgasmic chemicals often leads to improved quality of sleep. During orgasm, the Prolactin hormone is always released to relax the body.

Therein, the combination of prolactin and all the “feel-good” hormones is the reason why most people sleep better after sex. Research also shows that in the presence of the Prolactin Hormone, the level of libido in both women and men rises.
Decreases Risks Of Prostate Cancer
Frequent ejaculation appears to be linked to a lower risk for prostate cancer. A 2004 study published in the British Medical Journal studied the sex life of over 50,000 American males between the ages of 40 and 75. Men reporting 21 or more ejaculations a month were less likely to get prostate cancer than men who ejaculated four to seven times a month.
