Additional Facts About Sex
Headaches and Sex
Many women (and likely some men) use headaches as an excuse to avoid sex. Unfortunately, this is not the best excuse. Sex can actually help alleviate and even prevent headaches. During sex, serotonin levels increase in the body, which can relieve headaches. While sex is not a cure-all for headaches, it can be quite effective and is reported to be more beneficial than many painkillers.
- Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a significant role in modulating pain perception. It helps regulate pain signals in the brain, potentially reducing the intensity of a headache.
- Vascular Effects:
Serotonin influences blood vessel constriction and dilation, which are often factors in certain types of headaches, such as migraines. It can help normalize blood vessel behavior, alleviating headache symptoms. - Emotional and Stress Reduction:
Serotonin is also associated with mood regulation and stress reduction. Since stress is a common headache trigger, increasing serotonin levels can indirectly prevent or reduce stress-induced headaches. - Endorphin Release:
In activities like making love or exercise, serotonin release is accompanied by the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers. This combination can help reduce headache pain effectively.
However, it’s worth noting that not all headaches respond to serotonin increases, and in some cases, fluctuations in serotonin levels might even contribute to migraines for certain individuals. Always consider individual factors and consult with a healthcare provider for persistent or severe headaches.
Vibrator – A Healing Instrument
Vibrators have been around since the 19th century and were originally used as a treatment for female hysteria. At that time, men generally showed little interest in female orgasm, and unfortunately, this attitude still persists to some extent today. Thankfully, female hysteria is no longer officially recognized as a medical condition, and men are now more attentive to the importance of pleasing their partners.

Approximately 46% of men over 50 have sex at least once a week, and many of them use erectile dysfunction medication. Interestingly, most of these men report that sex at an older age comes with less pressure, allowing them to enjoy it more.
