Sexual intimacy has been of a great benefit in many relationships. Asides the purpose of reproduction, recreation, and pleasure, it has been proven to also have several health benefits too. Headaches have been credited to it as one the problems it do solve, but headaches aren’t the only thing sex cures; here are six more:
1 Cramps:
Having sex can help with period pain.
Orgasms cause the uterine muscles to contract and release brain chemicals that
act as a natural pain reliever, immediately relieving menstrual cramps.
2 Colds:
Regular sex has also been shown to have
immune-boosting effects that can cure the common cold. Intercourse raises
immunoglobulin A, an antibody that fights the cold virus.
3 Morning
sickness:
Oral sex can cure
morning sickness? Yes, according to Gordon Gallup, a psychologist at
SUNY-Albany. He says that the best way to cure morning sickness during
pregnancy is with semen from the person who got you pregnant. Gallup believes
that a woman’s body rejects the father’s semen, causing sickness, so if you
build up a tolerance by ingesting it, you can prevent the stomach problems.
4 Insomnia:
After sex, your body releases the
hormone oxytocin, aka the “cuddle hormone,” which makes you sleepy. And women
produce more oxytocin than men.
5 Hiccups:
Dr. Francis M. Fesmire came up with two
cures for hiccups, “digital rectal massage” and orgasms. He said, “An orgasm
results in incredible stimulation of the vagus nerve. From now on, I will be
recommending sex — culminating with orgasm — as the cure-all for intractable
hiccups.”
6 Depression:
Sex has been proven to help mental
health thanks to numerous studies. James Coan, Ph.D., professor of psychology
at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, says, “When you have sex, you
release feel-good hormones, including oxytocin and endorphins.” And a recent
study found that oral sex can help, too, since semen contains chemicals that
elevate mood, increase affection, and contain antidepressants.
