SEX (not PORN??) makes you SMARTER?
Interesting article I came across yesterday. Since my blog tends to focus on things related to brain/mind here it is if you haven't already seen it. I think it will be something that I want to look more into/learn more about.

Not surprising - we already know that exercise has real benefits for the brain, so it stands to reason that some mild (or intensive!) exercise coupled with a shot of oxytocin and endorphins would have an effect at least as good, or better.
ReplyDeleteAnd while smarter people might not have more sex, I'd bet they have better sex. ;)
You know, I was kind of thinking along those lines too when I was exercising at the gym today. I think it does have something to do with the exercise/cardio component of sex. Thanks for your insight, as always.
ReplyDeleteO boy, Renee is now pumping up the adrenalin by suggesting that rats who have sex become brainier and based on this scientific discovery humans must also become brainier ie. the more men women have sex with and the more women men have sex with turns them into Albert Einsteins! Hey, Renee, is this just an excuse for you to have sex with more men? Okay, forget it as my libido's down at the moment after the Satanists have been hexing me to stop blabbing about G-O-D.
