Why Having an Orgasm Is Good for Your Health

October 17, 2015 2 min read

When you think about sex, chances are you're not honing in on how it's going to benefit your health, which makes a whole lot of sense, as being in the moment is a whole lot hotter than fixating on the science behind it. Benefits of an orgasm.

But along with an orgasm feeling incredibly good, it can also seriously benefit you mentally and physically, from reducing your stress levels to adding years onto your life. Here are research-baked benefits to give you another reason to jump in the sack.

Sex More, Stress Less

According to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, sex can reduce stress via our brain reward pathways. Researchers discovered that rats having intercourse daily for two weeks led to cell growth in the hippocampus, which is the part of the brain that's in charge of managing stress.

Bangin' Heart Health

More sex equals a better heart says research published inThe American Journal of Cardiology, which found that men who orgasm once a month or less were 45 percent more likely to have a stroke or even contract a cardiovascular disease as opposed to those who had sex more than twice a week.

Prevent Prostate Cancer

Having sex nearly every day can lower your risk of developing prostate cancer by 33 percent, according to a 10-year follow-up of a Harvard study from 2004. Ejaculation is key, as purging your body of old sperm rids the body of precancerous cells.

Keep Away Colds

A study published in the journal Neuroimmunomodulation discovered that orgasms can activate parts of our immune system responsible for helping us get over colds quicker. In the study, the researchers asked 11 male volunteers to masturbate until completion, blood being drawn continuously throughout the process, which revealed orgasms increased the number of "killer" cells known as leukocytes in the participants. As if you needed another reason to have sex. Were these bits of information helpful?

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. There is an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as online shopping has skyrocketed, due to store closures and stay-at-home mandates. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-6 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for your support and understanding.

Are you in Canada? Specifically, are you outside of a metropolitan centre? We need to alert you to a disruption in shipping due to COVID-19. Our preferred shipping provider, UPS, has informed us that they cannot guarantee express shipping for many locations. We have also seen that packages delivered to Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc, are not waylaid, but packages delivered to areas just outside of these cities are being held in transit for days or even weeks. UPS has discontinued their guarantee of 1-4 day delivery, which you can read more about here. Therefore, we can guarantee early fulfillment but not early delivery of our goods from our warehouse to your door at this time.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping with our partners at UPS. Once your order is received and processed, it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse. That’s our commitment and we stand by it.

We ship within Canada and the United States via UPS with Standard & Expedited shipping (whichever is faster)

For locations outside of the US and Canada, we ship using FedEx International (EUROPE and Other Nations), which is usually in transit for 7-10 business days, depending on location.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Delays caused due to custom withholds are not included in these estimated delivery times.

Returns & Exchanges

We offer a 30-day return policy, as long as: it is not more than 30 days past the date of delivery; and your item is in its original condition and packaging with the original order number.
