According to experts, the answer is a resounding yes. From encouraging a better mood and a sounder night\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/mighty-night\/\">sleep<\/a> to less pain and more self-confidence, orgasms can up-level nearly all aspects of physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Keep reading to discover the myriad benefits of orgasm.\r\n<h2>10 Amazing Orgasm Benefits<\/h2>\r\n<h3>1. Orgasms release endorphins<\/h3>\r\nAccording to Dirty Lola, a sex educator and <a href=\"http:\/\/sexedagogo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sex Ed A Go Go<\/a> host, orgasms release endorphins and oxytocin. More of these feel-good hormones can lead to mood boosts and lower stress levels, which we all could all use. \u201cAlso, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/4-ways-stress-affects-beauty-skin-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">less stress means fewer breakouts<\/a>, so orgasms [can] become an important part of your skincare groove,\u201d she adds.\r\n<h3>2. THEY can be emotionally healing<\/h3>\r\nTired? Orgasm! Stressed? Orgasm! Sick? Orgasm! And you can consider that doctor\u2019s orders, as the advice comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/calexotics.com\/dr-jill-mcdevitt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jill McDevitt, PhD, MEd<\/a>, a sexologist, educator, and sex-positive activist.\r\n\r\nWhen times get tough\u2014both personally and on a larger scale\u2014orgasms can help provide a sense of relief. \u201cMany of my colleagues and I have been recommending orgasm as one of the tools of managing hardship, both physically and emotionally, because orgasms can be comforting, grounding, and empowering,\u201d she explains.\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"b49a98\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b49a98;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19801 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Health-Benefits-of-Orgasm-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Passionate couple holding hands in bed while experiencing the health benefits of orgasm\" width=\"770\" height=\"514\" \/>\r\n<h3>3. Orgasms can boost your immune system<\/h3>\r\nAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexhealthmatters.org\/sex-health-blog\/health-benefits-of-sex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent studies<\/a>, the more you have sex, the more immunoglobulin A is present in your system. What is IgA, you might ask? An antibody that <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16362985\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">works wonders for the immune system<\/a>.\r\n<h3>4. They can help you sleep<\/h3>\r\nThe body releases more than just endorphins post-orgasm, including a hormone called prolactin. In addition to enabling women to produce breastmilk, prolactin kicks sleepiness into high gear.\r\n\r\nAnd according to Searah Deysach, a seasoned sex educator and owner of sex toy shop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.early2bed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Early to Bed<\/a>, there&#8217;s other physiological work at play, well&#8230; post-play. \u201cPhysically, masturbating or having partnered sex to orgasm can raise your heart rate, so a quick orgasm before bed can help you sleep.\u201d\r\n<h3>5. They can help you relax<\/h3>\r\nPart of why orgasms feel so fantastic can be attributed to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes feelings of happiness.\r\n\r\nOrgasms produce serotonin, &#8220;which can lead to a relaxing feeling and potentially inspiring an overall calming effect,\u201d says Amy Baldwin, a certified sex educator, coach, and co-host of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shamelesssex.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shameless Sex Podcast<\/a>. As a result, she continues, orgasms \u201ccan be beneficial in relieving stress or promoting a better night of sleep.\u201d\r\n<h3>6. They can Relieve Pain Naturally<\/h3>\r\nAs Dirty Lola points out, the endorphins released during climax can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3104618\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">provide mild pain relief<\/a>. This point extends to discomfort spurred by menstruation, making for a unique benefit of orgasm for women in particular. \u201cAdd it to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/chasteberry-for-pms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">period pain relief regimen<\/a>,\u201d she urges.\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"7f776d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7f776d;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19802 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Benefits-of-Female-Orgasm-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Lesbian couple fostering intimacy in the bedroom as one of the benefits of orgasm\" width=\"770\" height=\"514\" \/>\r\n<h3>7. They can SUPPORT INTIMACY<\/h3>\r\nRemember how we talked about oxytocin? According to Dr. McDevitt, the hormone is renowned for increasing feelings of connection, thus having the potential to boost intimacy with your partner.\r\n<h3>8. They can improve your bodily processes<\/h3>\r\nAs Amy shares, the very process of getting off can have physiological benefits. \u201cThe genital contractions that usually accompany orgasm can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and promote blood flow, keeping things healthy, vital, and strong,\u201d she explains.\r\n<h3>9. ORGASMS can boost confidence<\/h3>\r\nHave you ever gotten off and felt damn good about yourself? There\u2019s a science to it. According to sexologist and relationship expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexwithdrjess.com\/about\/bio\/#.XvKLpZ5Kjeo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jess O\u2019Reilly, PhD<\/a>, orgasms are known to increase self-esteem. As it turns out, frequent orgasms can help cultivate a positive body image.\r\n<h3>10. They can expand Your mind<\/h3>\r\nLast but not least, according to clinical sexologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alwaysberoyal.com\/pages\/caitlinv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caitlin V., MPH<\/a>, one of the biggest benefits of orgasm is the total release.\r\n\r\n\u201cDuring an orgasm, especially one in which there&#8217;s been a lot of build-up, we can completely lose ourselves and experience an expanded state of consciousness and pleasure,\u201d she explains. \u201cThe French have historically referred to orgasm as <em>la petite mort<\/em>, or the little death, for this very reason.\u201d\r\n<h2><img data-dominant-color=\"bfc1bf\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #bfc1bf;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19819 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Benefits-of-Orgasm-Masturbation-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in bed enjoying the benefits of orgasm after masturbation\" width=\"770\" height=\"525\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\r\nAs <a href=\"https:\/\/alicia-sinclair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alicia Sinclair<\/a>, certified sex educator and CEO\/founder of COTR, reminds us, it\u2019s essential to take care of ourselves. \u201cThe great thing about orgasms is that they help us do just that,\u201d she says. \u201cOrgasms release feel-good endorphins, help regulate sleep, decrease <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/this-is-what-your-period-is-saying-about-your-health\/\">period<\/a> pain, boost our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-the-immune-system-works\/\">immune system<\/a>, promote healthy genitals, and connect us with our bodies.&#8221;\r\n\r\nSimply put, the benefits of orgasm are aplenty&#8230; and they feel great! &#8220;The facts speak for themselves; orgasms are part of an overall healthy lifestyle,\u201d she concludes.\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/54\/private-party\" class=\"text-xs text-dark hover:!text-dark flex items-center border border-light rounded p-4 group !no-underline mb-4 relative pb-16 sm:pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 mr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.humnutrition.com\/assets\/c8aeefc0-7edf-11f0-9a8f-853a69c80a82.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"object-cover transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0\" alt=\"Private Party\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grow pr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2 flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:items-center divide-x-0 sm:divide-x divide-light text-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 pr-2 flex\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex mr-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m8.713 3 1.54 3.61 3.46.58L11.207 10l.588 4-3.082-1.878zm4.555 7.253 3.157-3.193c.288-.269.354-.663.288-1.06-.164-.324-.467-.587-.828-.64l-4.353-.663L9.584.562A.965.965 0 0 0 8.713 0a.965.965 0 0 0-.871.562L5.89 4.697l-4.35.663c-.363.053-.665.316-.827.64-.067.397 0 .791.287 1.06l3.157 3.193-.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .388.978c.3.188.697.25 1.024.072l3.889-2.14 3.888 2.14c.324.178.721.116 1.021-.072a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .391-.978z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.7\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 sm:pl-2 text-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1877 Reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-base font-semibold mb-1 group-hover:text-primary\">Private Party<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tprobiotic for vaginal health + urinary tract health\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-4 left-4 right-4 sm:bottom-0 sm:left-0 sm:right-0 sm:relative inline-flex justify-center bg-primary group-hover:bg-primary-light text-white rounded py-3 px-12 leading-none text-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pr-1.5 border-r border-primary-lightest\">$27<\/span><span class=\"pl-1.5\">SHOP NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"self-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sure, orgasms feel good\u2014but are there any other benefits to getting off?
