Current Mood: | Sex treats hangovers, painful menstruations and common cold It is generally believed that regular sexual activity is good for people’s body and mind. It is not as hard as jogging or working out in a gym but still very effective. Like any kind of sports sexual activity includes a tough job for muscles, acceleration of breathing and cardiac rate which in its turn results in better metabolism. Sex is also a fine massage for genitals of both partners. When having sex partners exchange hormones of endorphine and oxytocin that are connected with sexual excitement and orgasm particularly.
The above physiological reactions are in some ways connected with people’s state of health, and the fact suggests that sex is not mere pleasure but also much benefit for the organism.
It is incredible but sex may relieve you from the unpleasant symptoms of cold such as shivering, rheumatic pains and also makes for soon recovery.
We know that people having cold are often recommended to sweat heavily under a thick blanket and drinking hot tea with lemon and honey. However, sweating in sex may turn out to be very effective in this case as well.
Swiss doctors conducted a research several years ago to estimate that orgasm mobilizes the immune system of the human body as it increases the number of killer blood cells that detect and destroy foreign microorganisms.
Many women may have rather painful menstruations. Statistics shows that every tenth woman has to take analgetics to relieve from menstrual pain. Some people say that instead of anesthetic pills prescribed by doctors a woman can try having sex to ease pain during menstruation. The anesthetic effect of sex is connected with relaxation of organism and output of endorphins that are universally known as ‘hormones of happiness’. Indeed, generation of these hormones is closely connected with positive emotions; endorphins may also act as endogenous anesthetic.
Unfortunately orgasm does not produce a universal effect on all people. Some women on the contrary may feel more intense menstrual pain after having orgasm. Menstrual pain arises from a disbalance between sex hormones, progesterone first of all and prostaglandins that stimulate uterine contraction. An excessive amount of prostaglandins causes spasms of smooth uterine muscles and consequently pain. Oxytocins that also upsurge during orgasm produce the same effect upon uterine muscles that prostaglandins do.
In other words, it is difficult to say beforehand what will be the balance between hormones of every particular woman having menstruation and experiencing orgasm. But it is a mistake to believe that sexual activity may help women suffering from serious pains because lingering and excruciating pain may be the symptom of serious gynecological diseases.
Those who think that having sex during menstruation is unhygienic should mind that copulation is not the only way to reach an orgasm.
Have you ever had hangover? There are lots of popular recommendations saying how to recover from hangover but none of them mentions sex.
Hangover usually means headache, thirst, stomach aches and depressive spirits that may also provoke suicides. The low spirits and poor health condition in hangover are connected with temporary disbalance of hormones that generate positive emotions. If a person suffering from hangover chooses to have sex then his or her organism will get the hormones of endorphins and oxytocins. Oxytocins stimulate muscle contraction and bring down people’s aggressiveness to others.
Mind that sex therapy must be obligatorily safe. So use condoms and other contraceptives to get protected from genital infections. One should know that sex is heavy physical and emotional job for the human organism, and it may be harmful for diseased or weak people. People suffering from heart diseases, coronary heart disease in particular, hypertension and the like must be particularly careful when enjoying sex therapy. If a human needs medical aid sex will on no occasion be a good substitution of medical care and medications in this case.
Regular active sex is a regular physical activity that strengthens heart, burns calories and exercises muscles. This must be the most pleasant type of fitness that costs you absolutely nothing.
As sex makes local blood supply better it works as wonderful prophylaxis of gynecological and urological disorders with men and women.
Do not forget that emotions and pleasure in sex are more important than the techniques employed for sexual exercises. Sex without emotions and delight will on the contrary have no positive effect for the organism as it works only through emotions.

Current Mood: | Re: Sex treats hangovers, painful menstruations and common cold Sex partners "exchange hormones"? 
That's a pretty extraordinary claim.
And when I tried to look it up, the only place I found it verified was in- wow!- this exact article, which you've posted verbatim on a number of other websites.

Domo arigato, Mr. Spamboto. | Actually what he's posted is legit as I remember reading alot of what was posted awhile back. The one thing that I never knew was why I sometimes have cramping after an orgasm but that article explained the reason pretty well! |

Sex as a prophylaxis against gynocological disorders? Then why are nuns and other celibate women statistically less prone to them?
Oh, yeah...  Because sexually transmitted diseases like HPV and PID secondary to chlamydia cause 70 to 80% of them, with the remainder being hereditary, meaning that no amount of sex- or celibacy, for that matter- is going to save one from the incipient doom lying dormant in one's genes from birth.
Sex as a prophylaxis against urological disorders?
Sex causes UTIs because bacteria is forced, by friction, up the urethra.
It will be a really lame expenditure of my time if I'm forced to debunk each one of this charlatan's bogus claims individually. Although I will, if anyone wants to see me do it, just for the hell of it. |

Wow, such emotion. So are you saying that all the women who have said orgasms have stopped their menstrual cramps, or headache are just making it up? I have known a few that has made these claims. We aren't talking about std's here, so I don't know how that came up. If it was directed towards my 'cramping occasionally after O'ing', I've NEVER had an std in my life, so that doesn't fit here. The imbalance of hormones/prostaglandins sounds logical to me as the reason.
Relax, I thought this was an interesting convo. |

Gender:  | Re: Sex treats hangovers, painful menstruations and common cold I agree with the menstrual cramps. I can't orgasm with a partner while on my period, but I can by myself and it does help. I get horny as hell on my period too. Sucks.
I'd like to know why I sometimes get nauseous after orgasms. That sucks too. |

| Oh, "we" aren't, aren't "we"?
I suppose when Mr. Spamboto there says, quote: "sex...works as wonderful prophylaxis of gynecological and urological disorders", he's actually referring to your headaches? I'm talking about the fact that statistically, over half of "gynecological disorders" are attributable to STDs, especially HPV, which well over half of the sexually-active population is infected with, although many don't realize it.
Other "gynecological disorders" are the result of pelvic inflammatory disease, which is not, in and of itself, an STD, but is secondary to untreated Chlamydia, the most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection (hpv is the most common sexually transmitted viral infection) in the United States.
Other "gynecological disorders" range from serious (uterine, endometrial, and ovarian cancer, genetic), to chronic but not life-threatening (endometriosis and benign cysts and polyps, also genetic), to merely annoying (yeast infections, frequently exacerbated by sex).
I cannot think of a single "gynecological disorder" that might conceivable by prevented or mitigated by sex, unless one counts labor as a gynecological disorder (orgasm speeds it up).
And as for urological disorders, sex is the primary cause of urinary tract infections.
It's telling that the author doesn't bother to mention specifically even a single one of this supposed plethora of gynecological and urological "disorders" that might be prevented by sex.
Why do "we" think that is?
Still  ing at "When having sex partners exchange hormones".
Not unless they're cockroaches.
I can't stand pseudoscientific flimflammery, as interesting as you may find it.
If you want to discuss your menstrual cramps, you should start a real thread.
