Making Love Makes Us Smarter
An intriguing study conducted at the University of Amsterdam found that sex, and even thinking or fantasizing about sex, can strengthen brain cells. The release of happiness hormones during sex improves mood and indirectly enhances brain cell efficiency.
Moreover, research has shown that people who think more about sex tend to perform better on tests, although scientists are still uncertain about the reasons behind this phenomenon. Stress, which negatively impacts the body and brain, can disrupt brain connections and, in extreme cases, even cause them to temporarily shut down. For instance, a student might experience a mental block during a presentation. In contrast, sex reduces stress levels, which likely contributes to improved brain function.
Additionally, intelligence is linked to self-esteem. The more confident a person is, the better they can utilize their intelligence. People with a healthy sex life often have higher self-confidence.
Lastly, sleep quality is crucial for mental abilities. Sleep deprivation significantly affects cognitive functions, even with just one hour of lost sleep. However, sex typically leads to deeper, more restorative sleep, which can positively impact IQ.
