So you’re newly single and looking for ways to keep healthy and happy. You could head off to the gym – or you could think about heading off to bed with the new vibrator you might win in my latest giveaway…
Besides burning calories, boosting your metabolism and helping you sleep, having orgasms can help you ward off your depressive feelings:
- The ‘romance hormone’ phenylethylamine (PEA) is a natural form of amphetamine that peaks with orgasm. Low PEA is associated with depression whereas high levels are associated with excitement.
- You can also replicate that natural high that you get in the honeymoon stage of a relationship by having orgasms. This comes from the ‘bonding hormone’ oxytocin, which again peaks with your orgasm, leaving you feel connected and relaxed. It contributes to the post-orgasm afterglow that we feel. You can also get this through touch and eating chocolate (as the fats make the stomach signal the brain to release oxytocin).
- When you orgasm, endorphins (which are a bit like natural morphine) are released into your bloodstream which make you feel good and block pain, and again are related to eating chocolate as well.
So having orgasms, eating chocolate and being touched can help you feel better – you can see that you might be drawn toward having sex (especially with a man or vibrator offering chocolates).
That’s an age-old question – which do you prefer more – sex or chocolate?
