5 Ailments That Can Be Cured By Séx

According to The Daily Mail, the hypothalamus region of the brain is active during a cluster headache, and the same area shows activity during orgasm.

So, what else can séx cure? Take a look at the list below and start treating your ailments.

1. Stress
Need to relax? Look no further than the bedroom. In a Scottish study, men and women were placed in stressful situations and told to keep records of their séxual activity. People who had recorded having intercourse responded better to stress.

2. Sleeping Problems
Trouble hitting the hay? Forget counting sheep. Oxytocin, the endorphin released during orgasms, also promotes sleep.

3. High Blood Pressure
Researchers discovered that séxually active people have lower blood pressure when faced with stressful tasks.

4. Bad Mood
Not only does semen contain mood-elevating chemicals, such as endorphins and oxytocin, the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Séxuality found that séxually active people take fewer sick leaves and enjoy life more. Séx has also been shown to boost self-esteem.

5. Dull Skin
No need to apply extra bronzer. Turns out, the “séx glow” is real after all. Thanks to increased blood circulation, oxygenation of the blood, and a rush of endorphins post-orgasm, the effects of séx can do temporary wonders for your complexion.
