Orgasm Benefits

by: Amy Otis, BSN, RN

An
Orgasm is Good For You!

According to JAMA
(the Journal of the American Medical Association), 43% of
American women suffer from some form of 'Female Sexual Dysfunction
-- often placing the blame on themselves for their inability
to reach orgasm. Stop blaming yourself. If you are alone,
masturbation will help you find what feels right for you.
If you have a partner, talk to them. Often the clitoris is
under stimulated during sexual intercourse - which is how
many women have an orgasm. If you have orgasms from your cervix
being stimulated, tell your partner this. (Or, whatever else
does it for you).

Orgasms:
Relieve tension! The faster heart beat, the increased blood
flow and muscular tautness associated with sexual pleasure
all come to a relaxing conclusion with an orgasm, and in the
process relieve tensions pent up in your nervous system.

Orgasms:
Help you
sleep
better. While an orgasm is followed in the male by a quick
drop in blood pressure and sudden relaxation, the effect on
women is more progressive but no less important. Orgasms act
as a natural tranquilizer. That wonderful release of endorphins
is very calming.

Orgasms:
Calm your cravings for junk food and sometimes for cigarettes.
Sexual stimulation activates the production of phenetylamine,
a kind of natural amphetamine that regulates your appetite.
So, before you pig-out, maybe go to your room. :)

Orgasms:
Burn calories.

Orgasms:
Can work
as natural pain management. If you ever noticed forgetting
about a headache or menstrual cramps while masturbating or
having sex, it is not simply a psychological phenomenon. Endorphins,
(natural compounds close to morphine) are released by your
body during sex and can increase your tolerance to pain by
as much as 70% during orgasm. This will vary from person to
person. AND, if you are in the hospital... forget trying this
due to the lack of privacy.
