There are lots of reasons to have sex… It’s a release, it’s connection, it’s fun, it’s exercise and it can even make you look good! I was perusing the back catalogue of Canadian sex and relationship expert Dr. Jess and I came across an article of hers extolling the virtues of sex for beauty purposes.
Sometimes I enjoy rubbing Mike’s cum into my hands after a really loving and intense handjob and blowjob. It feels really great and actually surprisingly hydrating. Same thing with a facial, from time to time. But even just the act of having sex itself can produce all sorts of wonderful reactions in your body to make you glow, keep you looking young, make your hair luscious and keep your skin from breaking out. Perhaps THAT’s my beauty secret!
You can read the (relatively unscientific – so don’t worry about requiring a biology degree) data here and then I’d love to know if this has any feeling of truth to you? Do you feel like you look extra good when you have a lot of sex? Do you love the post-sex glow of your partner? I know that I always feel stunning after sex, which is just one more reason to enjoy a whole lot of it!
I’ve never noticed any particularly aesthetic improvements in my looks after a lot of sex, but there’s no denying the physiological flush-and-rush of energy and enthusiasm. I mean, if we all notice the “inner glow,” then so do our cells and pores and follicles!
As for noticing an effect on my partners, alas, I’ve always thought they looked great anyway. Sex could make someone look terrible, and I’d still want to gaze lovingly into their eyes when it was over. Such a hopeless romantic.
This does, however, reveal at least a small part of the secret to your aesthetic success, Camille! Moisturizing, stretching, exercising, getting plenty of protein… no wonder you’re a goddess!
Goddess? You flatter me, Cal. I’m just enthusiastic about great sex, and I guess that doesn’t hurt with staying young and looking fresh.
Hi Camille
after sex I always feel so relaxed and I guess on a absolute high (beats drugs I guess, never ever taken them mind). Sometimes feel tired, guess thats a mans excuse for going to sleep, but heard this so many times off of guys, so some reaction occurs to bring on this tiredness?
During sex my girlfriend has often said a fantasy of mine, cum in my mouth or during intercourse cum in me and and lick it out, drink your cum from me. Leading up to spurting my cum I always fantasise about this and dream of doing it (kissing her afterwards and tasting my cum), but after I have cum I can’t bear the thought of doing it. I know it sounds strange, but leading up to ejaculation the feelin’ is so strong and emotionally so erotic. I really can’t explain why my mind changes after ejaculation?
I just wish it wouldn’t cause I would love to do it? before I cum!!

I think there definitely is a real psychological/physical block for a lot of men who would theoretically enjoy cum play but don’t want to once it’s actually out of their system. Your arousal is essentially over once you come, so you’re not looking to do anything sexy, especially with something that can look unappetizing when you’re not turned on.
Hey Pete, I just want to add [as a guy] that I understand the basics of what you’re talking about, and I wonder if it’s one of those super-fundamental biological things that is hardwired into our DNA? I.e., during sex we get aroused almost into an ecstasy in which we’ll consider doing anything to reach orgasm, but once it happens, our bodies recognize that “every sperm is sacred,” or at least useful, and we immediately “shut down” any desire to interfere with our sperm / our partners? Just a guess— this could be Nature’s way of saying “back off, men, your job is done here.”
I could see that being part of the reason, absolutely! I also think arousal just does a lot of interesting things to the brain to shift what would feel repellent otherwise into something very erotic.
Lol Cal you could be right, never thought if it that way
He’s often right!
Camille, I think it is similar to the pregnancy “glow”. I know that I feel better the more sex that I have. I’m sure it shows. Sometimes I even notice it myself.
Pete & Cal, I couldn’t agree more. Once the cum is out, I don’t want anything to do with it. Not that I am ready to completely shut down. I am a hopeless romantic, too. I’m not ashamed to admit that I love to cuddle and be romantic even after sex. That to me is a more honest expression of love than doing it before sex.
That is the sweetest. Cuddling after sex is wonderful and definitely nothing to be embarrassed about.
Cuddling after sex is the most fantastic feelin’ after sex for me, cuddlin’ and holding the woman I’ve just made love to is so erotic and sensual to me. The blood subsides from my erection but it feels special to hold and cherish and massage the woman I’ve just made love to.
Guess I’m a softy in many mens eyes, but sex without feelin’ and love is a cold blooded act, I should know, I’ve visited many how do you put it “ladies of the night, to be polite” in between relationships and always come away feelin’ cold. A loving relationship leads to great feeling sex, no doubt about it.
Just a quick joke, hope it doesn’t offend
When God created something so beautifull as a pussy, why did it put it next to a asshole? lol

I think more men should be like that… Willing to feel as well as have passionate sex.
And that joke certainly didn’t offend!
Because it’s beautiful too.
I agree!
Spunk protein is overrated
But delicious!
So debatable
Sorry, what is debatable?
Thanks for sharing my article Camille!
Thank you so much for writing such a great piece!
