Check out these 5 surpising health benefits of giving your man oral sex:

Come on get happy: Studies have shown that women who are exposed to semen are less likely to get sad because it contains feel-good substances such as cortisol, estrogen and oxytocin that act as antidepressants.

I Heart BJs: Research has found that women who performed oral sex and swallowed the semen were less likely to developing preeclampsia--the dangerously high blood pressure many pregnant women develop. So, next time you feel like you're going to flip your lid, you know just how to chill out (wink, wink)
 
No more morning sickness: If you're currently pregnant and suffering from dreaded nausea and vomiting every morning, you might want to consider giving your man oral sex. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but a study done at SUNY-Albany proved that women who consumed sperm during pregnancy eased their morning sickness. It has something to do with helping to build up a tolerance to all the hormonal changes you are going through since semen has a ton of hormones.
 
Let's hear it for the boys!: Your man may need to keep his junk healthy. The Journal of the American Medical Association found in a study that men who ejaculate frequently are least likely to suffer from prostate cancer.

Sexual healing: Some research has shown that any type of sex can help you heal faster. Marvin Gaye wasn't kidding around! This is because the oxytocin released during an orgasm helps regenerate cells. So, if you've been feeling under the weather, go get busy. I swear, it works!
