Sex on the brain!


Sex on the brain!
Sex can make you smarter. Having sex improves cognitive functions and also increases the rate of new cells being formed, giving you more brain power.

Older guys who get laid regularly have better “brain health” and are less likely to lose memory, according to the Coventry University study.
Sex hormones, like dopamine, are linked to the brain’s reward center and help cognitive function, researchers concluded.

  1. Interesting, I believe it is better as part of a healthy relationship than being promiscuous. More meaningful and ultimately satisfactory long term

  10. I think if they did the study in another place, the results may be different (for example high vs low deprivation areas). I wonder if they will do a study with younger people too? It helps if the partner is an all-round awesome person, intelligent, wise, curious, loyal (is that being a bit ambitious?). Cerebral appeal is more important long term
