Psychologists say that making love can boost intelligence.
[full]In a study conducted on mice, researchers show that sex not only helps to decrease stress levels but also burns up calories, according to Mail Online.
Psychologists at the University of Maryland reveal that love-making greatly increased the creation of neurons located within the hippocampus, the area of the brain that is responsible for the formation of long-term memory.
The cognitive abilities acquired during the experiment decreased once the mice were subjected to long periods without sexual activity.
Increased sexual activity floods an individual’s brain cells with oxygen, in turn buffers the creation of neurons, which acts against detrimental functions caused by extreme stress.[/full]
