Sex for Increased IQ
It is known since a long time that displeasing and stressful events can cease the growth of brain cells. But there was no concrete proof to link this two together. Hence researchers at Princeton went out to test this age old phenomenon to see if it really is true. This research will find a lot of takers among sexual addicts who have felt their performance increase after a sexual intercourse.
Tests carried out in mice to test their thinking levels has led to very interesting results. Stress was induced in rats by giving access to rats to female rats very little than usual for a period of two weeks and more. This increased pressure among rats and led to the release of the stress hormone gluco-corticoids. This hormone is responsible for the reduction of brain cell growth. These results were then compared to rats who never had sex and to other rats which had normal sex. Their brains were investigated to find out the size of the hippocampus. The differences between the brain cells between the sexually deprived rats and the rats which had normal sex were enough to prove the fact that sex in important for proper development of the brain. The rats with lack of sex have smaller hippocampus and their actions were also similar.
The rats with normal sex were visually less anxious than the ones which were sexually deprived the other rats in conditions not normal to them. The high amount of anxiety in virgin rats was easily reduced by letting these rats to have sex and also these rats performed better in track tests than the ones which were deprived of sex. This also applies to human beings, especially men who have shown and experienced increased smartness after a little while after having sex. If there is something that has an equally opposite impact on the body is the increased levels of stress.
