7. Pain Control.
Before you reach for an over the counter medication, try for an orgasm.
Orgasm(s) can block pain
says Barry R. Komisaruk, PhD, a well-respected professor at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. It releases a hormone that helps raise your pain threshold.
Stimulation without orgasm can also do the trick.
We’ve found that vaginal stimulation can block chronic back and leg pain, and many women have told us that genital self-stimulation can reduce menstrual cramps, arthritic pain, and in some cases even headache
Komisaruk says. Another good reason to have sex – ladies, the headache is now firmly not on the cards as an excuse. You may not feel up to it, but a headache is an excuse to have sex, not to avoid it.
