And you thought sex was a natural
occurrence? Well, here’s an update! Scientists from across the world
have come together to prove that sex is completely scientific, perhaps
as technical as photosynthesis and we bet the following scientific facts
about sexual contact between two individuals will leave you completely
shocked!
1. Lower cholesterol boosts sexual performance:
If you are struggling in the bed, then chances are you’ve got to get
your cholesterol level duly checked up by a doctor. Well, it might sound
ridiculous but high cholesterol can actually lead to erectile
dysfunction. And, according to a study undertaken by researchers at
Rutgers University’s Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, people who take
medication to lower their cholesterol level can actually enjoy better
sex eventually.
2. If you don’t cuddle after sex, you can’t satisfy your partner: Women
have been demanding it for ages, but looks like men will have to
finally agree to cuddle their partners in bed, after a rocking sex
session and that’s all thanks to a University of Toronto study, which
has proven that cuddling post sex is as important to relationship
satisfaction as the intercourse.
And, this satisfaction has everything to do with the release of
oxytocin, which is produced when a couple indulges in a loving session
of cuddling.
3. Get aroused and sex won’t be messy anymore:
Well, isn’t sex a messy activity, mostly when you’re not in a mood?
Well, that’s all because of the fact that sexual arousal overrides the
body’s natural “disgust response, implying that you won’t find the act
messy as long as you’re enjoying it.
According to a study undertaken by researchers from University of
Groningen in the Netherlands, when a group of women were asked to watch
either an erotic film, a sports video, or a neutral video of a train,
and then perform a series of unpleasant acts (like drinking out of a cup
with a bug in it), they found that those who’d watched the sexual acts
rated the tasks as less disgusting and were also able to complete more
of them as compared to their counterparts.
4. Some individuals are wired to have more sex:
Yes! Well, while we are not hinting at nymphomaniacs or people whose
sexual drives are overtly high but according to a University of
California, Los Angeles study, an individual’s brain wiring may
influence the number of sexual partners he or she has.
The researchers came to this conclusion when they performed brain
scans of volunteers as they viewed sexually suggestive images and then
probed the subjects about their individual sexual behaviours of past
year. Apparently, it turned out that individuals whose brains were most
active while viewing the sexual images, were also the ones who had most
number of sexual partners.
5. Sex does burn calories. Here’s proof!:
It’s the most commonly cited thing about sex but seldom have people
believed it and guess now, it;s the time to actually get your facts
right because according to a study by researchers from the University of
Quebec, getting busy between the sheets for an hour can burn as many
calories as 30 minutes of jogging!
