Sex is Good (Speech) Poll Anthony R.

Santillan

Good afternoon! It seems like everyone in this hall needs to be awakened. Awakened, but I want you guys to close your eyes for a minute and open your mind in order for your naughty imagination to wander as I state something. Are you ready? Silence! Imagine this: Holding the hand of your woman or man? Why not close your eyes and feel? Feel the presence of the other, enter into the presence of the other, let the other's presence enter into you; vibrate together, sway together; if suddenly a great energy possesses you, dance together and you will reach to such orgasmic peaks of joy as you have never known before. Yes. Youre right. Its sex! Today, lets talk about sex: its importance when youre going through difficult time. The victims of the catastrophic Yolanda typhoon are truly objects of pity. Those who kicked the bucket shall rest in peace, and those who are still alive shall be able to move on and get over from this traumatic natural tragedy. I was assigned together with my team to distribute condoms in Leyte during the height of Yolanda. Ok, we were somehow thankful that the people did not show contempt for our action. They just laughed instead and told us that the effort was futile and unsolicited for a time where basic needs are priorities; that I cant be thankful for. I would love to laugh at those who laughed at us. Isnt it that after every tragedy, when youre a victim; you just need to accept what the government gives, for it has these experts who are knowledgeable about the needs that are truly necessitated by the people. What the government has to do is the giving, and the people accepting. As an expert, laughter is a tolerable answer for our action. But in a sense, it insults our intelligence. But it was already done. And by that, we have to move on and let me make up my point. Men, by nature, are sexual creatures. Admit it! Even after every trouble you go through, you still have time to get horny for it is always one of the best ways to feel good about yourself. Sex is good. It is so good. Lets not be hypocrites on this matter. Sex is good for those victims of Yolanda. Not just them, by the way, but in general. Sex is good because of its benefits to health. First, it helps keep your immune system humming. Sexually active people take fewer sick days. Dont you know that researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania

found that college students who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of the a certain antibody compared to students who had sex less often. Second, it lowers your blood pressure. A research suggests a link between sex and lower blood pressure. One landmark study found that sexual intercourse specifically (not masturbation) lowered systolic blood pressure. That's the first numb er on your blood pressure test. Third, it counts as exercise. It wont replace the treadmill, but it counts for something. Sex uses about five calories per minute, four more calories than watching TV. It gives you a one-two punch: It bumps up your heart rate and uses various muscles. Like with exercise, consistency helps maximize the benefits. Fourth, it lessens pain. Before you reach for an aspirin, try for an orgasm. Orgasm can block pain, says by a distinguished service professor at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. It releases a hormone that helps raise your pain threshold. Fifth, it improves sleep. You may nod off more quickly after sex, and for good reason. After orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released, which is responsible for the feelings of relaxation and sleepiness" after sex, says by psychiatrists. Last, it eases stress. Being close to your partner can soothe stress and anxiety. Studies show that touching and hugging can release your body's natural feel-good hormone. Sexual arousal releases a brain chemical that revs up your brains pleas ure and reward system. These are some of the primary benefits of sex to people, especially to those who are going through difficult time. And now, let me ask you. Isnt it sex a basic need? Isnt it that our effort was up for something? These you have to answer. Thank you!
