Sex and happiness

May 18 2015

Sex and happinessTheres lots of data that shows that people with better sex lives are happier people - endorphins etc. Its the same for people who exercise, follow creative pursuits or connect with lots of different people day to day. Sex, itself, offers exercise. Imaginative sex adds creativity to this. And sex with others build intimate connections. So mmf, mff, nfmf and all the other permutations would seem to, quite simply, be good for you. Conversely, people who do not 'get enough sex' are usually not so happy. Makes you wonder if RHP could get government funding for contributing to the nation's happiness! Either that or subscriptions to RHP could be made tax deductible! Imagine it! A sort of CentreBonk rather than CentreLink!

    However, I like to think its the other way around. I think that happier or more positive people get a lot more sex.... Its the 'chicken or egg' debate lol But its true - sex = good happy hormones :) - Posted from rhpmobile

    Well said - its a two way street. The happier the sexier and the sexier the happier.

    Has since 1972,measured Gross National Happiness instead of a Gross National Product..Lots ôf Buddhist monks and nuns in Bhutan .😀😀😀.having lots of sex OP doesn't necessarily make a you happy.it may give you a rush of endorphins true.but that is a short term chemical fix..happiness is something else again and IMO comes from within,not bonking..However being denied sex.not being able to have sex for one reason or another can sure make ya grumpy 😳xxFreya

    Since then both the UN and the OECD have compiled National Happiness Indices - taking their lead from Bhutan. But Australia is not - whether for good or bad - is not Bhutan. We have different sexual mores and social structures. Perhaps we are just more hedonistic. But is that bad? I think not and i think we should have more of an attitude of 'if it feels good it is good'. We should have more of an open mind about what constitutes accepted behaviours. And that extends into the sexual. Yes, you are right, it comes from within but we should not be too judgemental about this. As i said 'if it feels good it is good'.

    Well that explains my unbounded exuberance for life, lots of imaginative creative sex, meeting lots of people via sex, my unhealthy keep me up all hours creative projects so I can impress those I have sex with, and all that exercise from, you guessed it, all that sex. Who would have thought being a deviant addicted to sex would be so good for the soul. Though I do have one question for the OP... What is nfmf sex? I checked my fucket list and nothing between nerdy sex and N.F.O. (nymphets fairy orgy). Am I missing out on something?? must know... noooo... stress rising... not happy, need sex.

    Don't think having lots of sex necessarily makes you happy..it's my opinion OP not judgement..and if lots of sex makes you happy, then conversely the lack of sex would make you unhappy..my point is clearly this is not true for everyone,a broad sweeping generalisation...Indeed in the past too much sex has made me deeply unhappy...sex is rarely just about sex xxFreya

    Sex with people I love or have a fantastic connection with..... yep I would be happy with that. Having sex for the sake of sex and possibly with people that you don't feel any great connection with. Nope that would make me pretty unhappy. Therefore intimacy and having a physical connection makes you happy. Not sex as such. So for me sex has never really been just a realise or exercise. I would rather stay home and masturbate and them read a good book then have bad sex.

    I agree - bad sex is bad. And, yes, a real connection is important. Thats what good sex is all about - connection.

    I also don't believe that people that don't have lots of sex are not as happy. Everybody is different.

    Viagra sales or similar products sales equate to happier countries. Maybe the condom sales index, that would be a fucking great measure of countries per capita performance.

    This means different things to different people. What is key is knowing what you like and want.

    Too much will subdue the senses and lessen the experience. Too little will make you desperate So im finding solo sex five times a day to be just perfect

    I think it's a falsehood. As a society, we are probably more sexual than we have ever been, yet we are also more depressed, more addicted and more disconnected than ever as a society. OP, I think you are confusing happiness with pleasure.......two different things

    There is a correlation between sex and happiness.I first found sex as a teenager, but it wasn't until I was in my early 40's that I suddenly realised for the first time in my life I was "happy". In this case happiness was deemed to be a general contentment with life and my situation as I saw it at the time...it was a bit of an epiphany, which was met with a mix of emotions.Life is what happens when you're making other plans...(apologies to John Lennon)

    Companionship makes you happy. A strong relationship will usually lead to more sex, but it's the relationship that's the important bit. It's been shown many times that family and community bonds are the key to happiness. I see it myself all the time when travelling - really poor people in difficult conditions, but with large and very strong family and community structures. They are much happier than most of the people I know in Australia. You know what definitely won't make you happy? - owning more and more things.

    To be brutaly honest we are animals, sex has one purpose i.e., procreation of the species. Anything else we make of it is a fabrication of our poorly managed intelligence. But hey I am subject to the pull of sense addiction like anyone else but I am at ease with that and myself. I believe the obsessive need to repeat a momentary pleasure as described by OP is not healthy, happiness is so much more than that.

    If sex is not making you happy then you are doing it wrong. Sadly this is true for so many and the result of cultural retardness. There should be some system in place to educate people about sex. Yes we have sex education in schools during which you learn the functional process of the approved position. How and why it can result in a beautiful new life, then its a liturgy of fear mongering, with a strong emphasis on shamming and humiliation (particularly in the religious sector) and the ever present DON'T DO IT! Yes they are to young, yes there are dangers. But no it is not the reserve of lovers, it is not the reserve of only a man and a woman, no it is not just for procreation, no abstinence is not a virtue, no there is no shame in being different. It would be nice when we turn 18 for a mandatory sex reeducation program, to remove the blocks we place on the young. Teach people that sex is mostly for pleasure, instruct men how to please a woman and women how to please men. Drag them all down to the clinic and get them tested so they know how easy it is, that there is no shame or humiliation in being sexually active. Show them that diversity and kinks are normal, not deviant or immoral. I could go on but I am sure you get the point. Too many see their desires and lust as shame, the sex they have is not for filling, and any problems they have are hidden. Sex should make you happy, such a pity we only teach sex from a child's perspective, and not as adults.

    I have a lot of sex because I am happy. I am comfortable in my skin, being naked, exploring my sexuality with people I have a connection with. I know how to pleasure people, and I love being pleasured. I love the endorphins, exercise, the adventure and the intimacy. If I wasn't happy I doubt I would be seeking sex, but would I still be super happy if I couldn't have as much sex?? I shall report back in a couple of months!
