Study says sex could reduce headaches better than medicine
(KTNV) -- Have you ever tried to use the excuse "Not tonight, honey. I have a headache"?
Well, you might have to come up with a new one now.
According to a team of neurologists in Germany, sex can actually cure a headache.
They say that sex may be even more effective than heading to the medicine cabinet.
Scientists say that sex triggers the release of endorphins -- the body's natural painkiller.
Those endorphins act on the central nervous system which can reduce a headache.
They also say that men are more likely to benefit from sex than women. At least when it comes to getting rid of a headache.
