性爱让人变得更漂亮
Sex is fun. Lack of sex is a whole lot of not-fun — we've known that forever. And while many scientific studies have proven that an active sex life can make you healthier, evidence suggests that it can make you prettier, too. If you're regularly knocking boots, great for you. If you're not, sorry for kicking you when you're down — but either way here's a little added incentive to start getting more!
性爱是一种乐趣。缺乏性爱的生活枯燥乏味，这是众所周知的。诸多科学研究已经证明积极的性生活可以让你更加健康，不过又有证据显示，性爱还可以让你变得更漂亮。如果你经常做爱，那就太棒了。如果不经常，很抱歉落井下石——但是无论是哪种情况，本文都为你开始更加积极的性生活增加了动力。
Happy pants
轻松快乐
Sex stimulates production of oxytocin, the most romantic of all hormones. Stimulating oxytocin lowers the stress hormone cortisol and keeps us calm and relaxed. Part of the glow
after sex is related to this hormonal effect. “Cortisol causes muscle and bone mass to shrink— meaning you lose that sexy and athletic look if you are chronically stressed and have high cortisol levels!” says Dr. Steven Masley, president of The Masley Optimal Health Center, and author of the forthcoming 30-DAY HEART TUNE-UP: A Breakthrough Medical Plan to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. Cortisol also increases visceral fat, the culprit behind those stubborn waistline tires.
性爱可以刺激最浪漫的荷尔蒙——催产素的生成。令人兴奋的催产素可以降低压力荷尔蒙皮质醇的水平，让我们保持冷静，放松。性爱后的荣华焕发部分原因与荷尔蒙的影响有关。“皮质醇会导致肌肉和骨量萎缩——这意味着，如果你长期承受着压力和高水平的皮质醇，你就会失去性感而活力的外表。”Steven Masley博士说。Steven Masley是马士雷最佳健康中心的主任，也是即将出版的《30天心脏调整：预防和逆转心脏病的突破性医疗计划》一书的作者。皮质醇还会增加内脏脂肪，是造成顽固的腰部赘肉的罪魁祸首。

Who needs brightener?
皮肤光泽
Sex gives your skin a natural glow by improving blood circulation, which helps to pump oxygen to your skin and make it brighter. In addition to adding a healthy glow and keeping skin soft, nourished and looking young, increased circulation resulting from sex can also help to eliminate toxins.
性爱可以改善血液循环，向皮肤供氧，使其更加亮泽，散发出自然的光彩。除了增加健康的光彩，保持皮肤柔软，滋润和年轻之外，性爱带来的血液循环加快还可以帮助排毒。
Goodbye, acne!
告别粉刺
Sex increases levels of an antibody called immunoglobin, which is great news for your immune system. This can fight inflammation and infection caused by bacteria nesting in your clogged pores. Sex also controls acne by reducing your hormone levels or balancing them out. Win-win!
性爱可以增加一种叫做免疫球蛋白的抗体水平，这对免疫系统来说是一个好消息。免疫球蛋白可以抵抗藏匿在堵塞的毛孔中的细菌造成的炎症和感染。性爱还可以通过降低或平衡荷尔蒙水平来抑制粉刺。真是一举多得！
What's cold season?
不畏严寒
Some men and women offer strong anecdotal evidence that sex can help combat asthma and hay fever by unblocking stuffed-up noses and alleviating sinus pressure. That translates to no head congestion during sex or red swollen eyes and nose. And that's pretty attractive!
一些男女提供了有力的坊间证据证明性爱可以疏通堵塞的鼻腔，缓解窦腔压力，从而抵抗哮喘和花粉热。也就是说，性爱期间不会出现头部充血，或者眼睛鼻子红肿。这简直太有吸引力了！
Great hair days
头发亮泽
Sex boosts circulation — which is great in a whole lot of ways — but we’re especially fans of how this applies to our scalps. The theoretical result of which is stronger, longer, gorgeous hair: i.e. our personal utopia.
性爱可以促进血液循环——这对许多方面都有好的影响——但是我们尤其喜欢的是对头皮的益处。从理论上讲，性爱会让我们拥有一头乌黑强健茂密的长发。这简直就是我们个人的乌托邦！
Natural lip plumper
嘴唇丰盈
The act of kissing actually makes lips swell. “This is why we find full lips to be attractive and why people come to see us for lip augmentation,” says Boston-based Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel, MD, a facial plastic surgeon. "Also, we have a unique procedure [the lip lift] that we do in the office that can give you that sensual attractive appearance." And, of course, intimacy causes swelling also in your skin — similar to massage! But totally more fun.
亲吻可以让嘴唇丰盈。“这也是我们发现丰满的嘴唇更有吸引力，人们来我们进行丰唇的原因。”Jeffrey Spiegel是来自波士顿的一名面部整形外科医生。他说，“我们办公室还提供一种独特的提唇手术，让你的外表更加性感。”当然，性爱中的亲密接触还可以让你皮肤丰盈，效果等同于按摩！但是比按摩有趣的多！
Better sleep
改善睡眠
By having sex at the end of the day you’ll reap more of the stress-relieving benefits. Having a deep, stress-free sleep helps you look better in the morning. Don’t believe us? Behold how crappy you look on mornings you don’t get a good night’s rest.
睡前进行性生活在缓解压力方面会获益更多。深入的，没有压力的睡眠会让你在早上状态更佳。不相信我们？注意一下没睡好觉的早上你看上去多糟糕！
Rosy cheeks
面颊红润
Ever heard of the pregnancy glow? It’s a real thing, and it actually applies to orgasms as well. Blood flow adds glow and luster to skin. “Sex causes your heart to beat faster, increasing blood circulation—creating the same effect, and giving your skin an after-sex glow!” says Alessandra Torre, a best-selling erotica author who has studied the prettifying effects of sex for her writing.
有没有听说过妊娠光彩？这是真的，而且同样适用于性高潮。血液流动可以增加皮肤的泽和光彩。“性爱让心脏跳动得更快，促进血液循环，让皮肤散发性爱后的光彩。”Alessandra Torre说。Alessandra Torre是最畅销的性爱书刊作家，她曾经研究过性爱的美容功效。
Fit kisser
燃烧热量
Kissing burns around 70 calories an hour, while sex racks the heat up to over 150 calories per red hot hour. “Having frequent sex can help you lose one pound per month — or just help to keep that extra fifteen pounds at bay!” says Torre.
亲吻每小时可以燃烧70卡路里的热量，而热情的性爱每小时可以燃烧超过150卡路里的热量。“经常做爱可以帮你每月减肥1磅，或者至少保持现在的身材不会变胖！”Torre说。
In a word, happiness.
总而言之，快乐
“When one is entwined in the beginning stages of a passionate, close relationship, it has a
positive domino effect that spreads from our inner world to our outer one,” says Constance Dunn, author of Practical Glamour: Presenting Your Most Beautiful & Polished Self to the World. Biological and chemical effects are part of the mix, but an outstanding, pro-pretty effect of intimacy is its impact on our confidence and sureness in this world.
“当一个人陷入激情而亲密的恋情的初级阶段，会由内而外产生积极的多米诺骨牌效应。”Constance Dunn说。Constance Dunn是《实用魅力：向世界展示最光彩夺目的自己》一书的作者。生物学和化学影响是性爱的部分作用，但是亲热带来的更加显著，让我们变得更漂亮的影响就是让我们在这个世界上更加自信，更有安全感。
