We have heard that having sex helps lose weight and produces endorphins creating better moods all around.
However, did you know that it works as a pain reliever as well??
Apparently it can be ten times more effective than painkillers, even those such as valium!
The way it works, is that right before reaching orgasm, the levels of the hormone oxytocin rise by about five times, creating a release in endorphins.
This release calms pain from a slight headache to a major migraine! Along with being a pain reliever, the sweat that is produced during sex can reduce a fever.
So throw away the tylenol and next time you have a fever or a headache….just get busy!!!
