Sexual healing

According to multiple studies, orgasms have been proven to relieve and/or cure headaches and migraines.

A 1988 study conducted at the Oklahoma Health Sciences Center by James Couch, Professor of Neurology, concluded 61% of participating women reported pain relief after orgasm. Couch says the drugs most commonly prescribed to relieve headaches and migraines, called triptans, relieve symptoms in 60-80% of patients. Orgasms and prescription drugs have shockingly similar success rates.

So, how does an orgasm provide the same relief as prescription pain killers? Blood flow is redirected during orgasm, and pain-relieving hormones and endorphins are released. The next time you find yourself with a pounding headache, grab your man/woman/vibrator!
