How giving up sex can affect your brain

People have said that they experience a different side of themselves

Sexual intercourse is quite a normal everyday activity that most people indulge in but there are some who abstain from it for many reasons. Usually it is for health reasons; there are many who decided to remain celibate to improve confidence, calmness and creativity among other things.

According to a report in Broadly, swearing off sex doesn’t really help the body in any way and in fact having sex and getting orgasms have many health benefits. Sex therapist Dr. Nan Wise says that frequent ejaculations on the other hand actually help lower levels of prostrate cancer. While there are previous studies that state the testosterone levels peak after abstinence, it returns to normal and does not help in a better sex life.

While abstinence is not bad, having sex and masturbating regularly actually helps improve the blood flow in the body. It also helps activate certain parts of the brain which is a good workout needed often.
