Post-gym is the best time for sex.
A good workout can do a body good, in more ways than you might expect. Blood flow to the body, especially the genital region, is heightened after a working out. This leads to heightened sensitivity and better enjoyment of sex. Exercise also raises your level of testosterone, which makes us feel sexual.
Sex can help regulate the menstrual cycle.
