Want to keep calm
during a speech? Have sexual intercourse beforehand.
A new
study by a Scottish psychologist Stuart Brody studied the affect
of sexual activity prior to stressful activities like giving a
speech. During the study, 50 men and women monitored their sexual
activity during a two week period.
Brody then analyzed
the impact on stressful activities like giving a speech. He found
that the subjects that were having regular sexual intercourse felt
less stress during and after the stressful event.
“The effects are
not attributable simply to the short-term relief afforded by orgasm
but rather endure for at least a week,” Brody told New Scientist
magazine.
Brody said that the
release of the “pair bonding” hormone oxytocin might be the cause
the calming effect.
