Sex Boosts Your Immune System
Orgasms boost infection-fighting cells up by 20 per cent… so says Dr Dudley Chapman, a gynaecologist. Someone should call this the sex vaccine.
Sex Reduces Stress
“During arousal, your muscles tense; during orgasm, they twitch, then relax completely,” says ’50s sex researcher, Alfred Kinsey. This may explain why the institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality has found people with fulfilling sex lives less anxious, violent and hostile- the perfect tranquilizer for those who slog all day in the office for that big promotion.
Sex Relieves Pain
In studies carried out by researchers Beverly Whipple and Barry Komisaruk from Rutgers University, New Jersey, women with conditions such as arthritis and whiplash gain a higher pain threshold through regular orgasms. Historically, midwives advised women to masturbate to orgasm to relieve labour pains. (Quite a tall order considering you have to do it in front of those nurses.)
Sex Can Cure Headaches
A South Illinois School Of Medicine study on 52 migraine sufferers reported that 16 experienced considerable relief after an orgasm and another eight had their headaches completely gone. No reason now to say, “Not tonight honey, I’m having a headache.”
