Sex has been a hot topic for centuries, with various myths surrounding its benefits and consequences. One of the most debated topics is the potential of sex as a cure for muscle-related ailments. While some studies have shown positive results, others suggest no significant effect. Here are 20 points separating fact from fiction, analyzing the impact of sex on muscle-related conditions, both past and present, and what we can anticipate in the future.
Sex Boosts Immune System
According to Dr. Yvonne Fulbright, sexually active people take fewer sick days, and sex boosts the immune system. People who have sex have higher levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), which can prevent colds and flu.
Sex and Zinc Levels
Zinc is a critical nutrient that is required for proper sperm growth and development. Whenever a male has an orgasm, zinc is released in the semen. Zinc is also required for muscle growth and recovery. Maintaining healthy zinc levels through sex may have positive effects on muscle growth.
Sex and Osteoarthritis
Sex provides gentle, low-impact, massage-like exercise for people with osteoarthritis. Sex can help alleviate the pain and stiffness associated with the condition.
Sex and Period Pain
Orgasms cause the uterine muscles to contract and release brain chemicals that act as natural painkillers. Having sex can help alleviate period pain.
Sex and Muscle Strength
Some studies suggest that sex has no significant effect on muscle strength or endurance. However, more research is needed to make a definitive conclusion.
Sex and Oxytocin Levels
Oxytocin is a hormone released during sexual activity. It promotes social bonding, relaxation, and healing. Boosting oxytocin levels through sex may have positive effects on muscle recovery and overall well-being.
Sex and Dystonia
Dystonia is a condition that causes uncontrollable muscle spasms. There is no cure for dystonia, but some treatments, including muscle relaxants and physical therapy, may help manage symptoms during sex.
Sex and Common Cold
Sex may help cure the common cold, according to Swiss researcher Manfred Shedlowski. Phagocytes, which are part of the immune system that attack and kill common cold viruses, are released during sex.
Sex and Upper Body/Torso Strength
Sex involves various positions that require upper body/torso strength. Maintaining good upper body/torso strength through sex may have positive effects on overall muscle health.
Sex and Injury: Down-There Cuts
Vaginal or vulvar tearing tends to happen when you're under-aroused and dry, which creates more friction. To prevent cuts, it's important to give your body time to become aroused and produce natural lubrication.
Sex and Injury: Muscle Strain
Sex can cause muscle strain, especially in positions that require excessive movement. To prevent muscle strain, it's important to maintain good muscle flexibility and warm-up before engaging in sex.
Sex and Injury: Neck Strain
Sex can cause neck strain, especially in positions that require excessive head movement. To prevent neck strain, it's important to maintain good neck flexibility and avoid positions that put excessive strain on the neck.
Sex and Injury: Back Pain
Sex can cause back pain, especially in positions that need power.
