So I have often heard that if you have a cold or a headache, this can be solved with sex. Personally, I’ve never tested the theory out but definitely wanted to try and learn.

is it true?

  • Well, it's simple chemistry of the brain. Researchers from the University of Munster in Germany have found that sexual activity was successful in treating migraines in 60 percent sufferers and in one-third of patients with headaches.

    This is because the release of endorphines from the brain soothes the pain - naturally, this is not the same for everyone - for example, when my wife has a headache or a migraine, sex is out of the question - but when she has period cramps or bowel pains, it helps her feel a little better.

  • An orgasm is a build up of tension which is released all at once. Headaches and some muscle pain are tension, and sometimes that tension gets released at the same time. It might be a temporary release though as the underlying cause of the tension isn't corrected.

  • I think it’s the endorphins released like a lot of things— running or hugging or getting good news feeling loved succeeding at something important helping someone getting a compliment… positive experiences have positive impact on our immune system.

  • I think you could just pass the minor ailment to your partner.

  • No, but you can spread the cold to others.

  • Orgasms can be good for headaches if you can get around being put off by the headache to start with.

    It can help if your under weight too but is only temporary for 9 months then the weight drops off again suddenly.

  • No, it can't.

  • Depends. For me it can help with headaches and a stuffy nose, but that's the same for any orgasm. It doesn't need sex to work.

  • Couldn't hurt. My wife thinks that. Last time she had the flu she was all snots and looking rough like a crackwhore. I refused and she took off her pyjamas in front of me, rubber vaps on her bare chest as I watched, turned around and stuck her fat bare ass in the air. Yeah I f*cked her for about 2 minutes.
