Sex Makes Your Brain Grow!
13 Aug
Since studies in the past have shown that stressful, unpleasant situations can hinder brain growth, researchers from Princeton University wanted to see if stressful yet pleasurable situations – like sex – would achieve the opposite effect. So, they divided male lab rats into three groups: The rats in one group were given sex partners daily, the second group got set up with with the lady rats every two weeks and the third group got nothing at all.
The rats that had sex on a regular basis showed adult brain growth, as well as an increase in the connections between brain cells. As a possible effect of their larger brains, the sexually experienced rats were less anxious and quicker to eat food in an unfamiliar environment than the sexless rodents.
So go have sex!
