A member asked:
Do sex have adverse affect on brain?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: If anything, sex is beneficial to the brain and body. Physical intimacy promotes feelings of attachment and positive self-image. Orgasm leads to surge in brain enkephalin and endorphin levels, which relieve pain and cause a feeling of euphoria. The risks of unprotected sex are the only risks to brain health--sexually transmitted disease, worry about unplanned pregnancy. Enjoy, and good luck!
