The Orgasm, that magnificent gift from Mother Nature, sets off the release in our bodies of a deliciously powerful “hormone cocktail” that includes endorphins, our built-in pain relievers; serotonin, one of the body’s mood regulators; dopamine, a neurotransmitter that facilitates feelings of pleasure and enjoyment; oxytocin, also known as “the cuddle hormone”, which increases feelings of trust and bonding, and DHEA, a steroid known to improve brain function and boost the health of the immune system.
With all of those natural hormones, chemicals, and neurotransmitters immediately available for free and willing to work on command for us, having at least one orgasm daily simply makes good health sense!
As a path to stress relief, orgasms work because in the short term, they cause our hearts to beat faster. Orgasms require increases in blood flow and a build-up of muscle tension, that when released, feels like the damn at Niagara Falls has been opened and causes a total release of the day’s tension which has built up within our nervous system. And, if you have trouble sleeping, a toe-curling, body-and-mind-relaxing orgasm can be just what your body ordered to help you drift off into a peaceful, soothing sleep.
Your skin benefits from a rousing orgasm too! If you get worked up enough and break into a really good sweat, your body will flush toxins out your system by way of your perspiration, and it will release oils which will nourish the skin.
If you’re thinking about controlling your weight, good news: great orgasms can help you there too. Orgasms spur the production of the chemical phenethylamine which is known to curb appetite, so treating yourself to an orgasm can help keep you from racing to the refrigerator and making friends with all the goods inside!
And whether you are with a partner or simply pleasuring yourself, creating a fulfilling orgasm takes energy, so by regularly having orgasms you’ll be burning more calories and having a great time doing it!
Now, this next idea might seem counterintuitive. However, when you have menstrual cramps or a headache, if you treat yourself to an orgasm instead of an aspirin you may find that endorphins, your body’s natural pain reliever, will take your mind far, far away from the pain and help you experience a sense of relief and pleasure that you would miss if you simply went for the aspirin.
And here’s more good news, Dr. Winifred Cutler, a research biologist, and co-founder of the Women's Wellness Program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, found that women who have weekly sexual activity have higher blood levels of estrogen, a natural chemical that can help lower bad cholesterol, and increase good cholesterol, while adding to bone density and improving the health of your cardiovascular system. Now really, what more could you ask for?
Now, let’s talk about your immune system. Orgasms have been found to raise the level of
Immunoglobin A, an antibody which can boost production of infection-fighting cells in the body, and help strengthen the immune system so that flu and colds may be held at bay or fought off successfully. So just by having mind-blowing orgasms and taking care of yourself as you normally would, you could be preparing yourself well for that “other” season –winter- that is right around the corner!
Mother Nature has created the Magnificent Orgasm to provide a natural cure for much of what ails us. We have the power to maintain our health and pleasure satisfaction. To do so, we simply need to use our imagination and take things into our own two hands (or those of our lovers’).
We may need to free ourselves from various religious, cultural, or morality controls and norms, in order to really explore the gift of self-pleasure and orgasm therapy, but when we do, the sky is really the limit.
The new wisdom needs to be: “An orgasm (or four!) a day and an apple, can help keep the
doctor away!”
Here’s to your health and toe-curling orgasm therapy!
