“I have a headache, let’s do it another time”—this excuse in bed will no longer work. Neuroscientist Amanda Ellison has revealed that the most effective treatment for a migraine is sex. She suffers from the condition herself, so she knows exactly what she’s talking about.
As the expert explained, migraines generally develop for a wide variety of reasons. However, the fact that women suffer from them three times more often than men is due to their increased sensitivity caused by the hormonal cycle. This is why sex becomes the best medicine, boosting the production of serotonin (which brings happiness), dopamine (for sensual pleasure), and oxytocin (for the feeling of love). If you manage to have intimacy and a good orgasm at the initial stage of a migraine developing, the increased amount of hormones will help compensate for the pain.
There is only one “but” in this pleasant therapy scheme: sex will only be medicinal if there is an emotional attachment to the man. A random orgasm with a stranger might not work, though if you want to—why not give it a try?
