Sex and the myths associated with it

When it comes to sex, we can hear different myths. We present some of them..

Headache is a common excuse for not having sex, but sex can really help with this illness.

Reaching orgasm can relieve headaches. In a 2019 study, a group of neurologists from the University of Münster in Germany found that more than half of migraine sufferers experienced relief from their symptoms after sex.

Every fifth headache completely disappears, which is observed especially in men.

According to researchers, sex stimulates the production of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, leading to headache relief.

Urinating before sex reduces the risk of urinary tract infection

These infections develop when the bladder becomes infected. This is usually due to the passage of bacteria through the urinary tract. Sex is often the cause, especially in younger women, but this type of infection also affects older people.

According to some experts, the claim that urinating before and after sex helps to avoid them is only half true. Infection can occur during sex when bacteria enter the urinary tract, and prior urination is the main cause.

On the other hand, if you don’t urinate before sex, there will be enough fluid in your bladder to create a flow that is more likely to flush out these bacteria.

There are some experts who do not agree with this theory. They make it clear that there is no real evidence to support this, and we also don’t need to urinate before sex, unless we have to. But urinating afterward can be helpful.
