Orgasms are good for your brain

An orgasm is a reaction not an action. It's an involuntary release of accumulated sexual tension and energy. On a biological level, orgasm is a very strong energetic discharge. The process begins in the brain first activating the cerebral cortex.

This system helps us stimulate emotions and sends signals to the nervous system, supporting muscle relaxation, lowering tension in the body and sending the brain the command to create alpha waves that help stimulate dreams and develop creativity. Our brain acts as a “pleasure center” to let us know what is enjoyable and what is not.

The different nerves in the genitalia explain why sensations can be perceived differently in each part of the body. Hormone levels rise and fall, creating feelings of pleasure and happiness. After an orgasm, the body relaxes, increasing pleasure and wellbeing. It prevents depression and balances our hormones.

Orgasm has a strong impact on our brain and helps regulate our mood and passion for life.
