A new claim by researchers has shown that apart from being purely pleasurable, s*x also does something else to the human brain.
S*x is the food your brain eats, so say researchers!
When you have s*x that leads to orgasm, your brain is happy and enters a mode that enables it function optimally, improving your cognition and helping you to think clearly.
A 2010 study found evidence that sexual activity stimulates cell growth in the hippocampus, a region of the brain that plays a big part in long-term memory.
The scientists say the increase in neurons, or neurogenesis that s*x fosters can lead to clearer thinking and improved cognitive function.
Researchers at Rutgers University have been studying the female orgasm for more than 25 years. Using magnetic resonance imaging to look at the female brain during orgasm, they found that more than 30 areas of the brain were activated when orgasm took place!
Those activated areas are receiving increased blood flow and that blood is carrying nutrients and oxygen.
“S*x is brain food!” They conclude.
The bottom line: Legitimate s*x has more advantages than you can imagine.
