But scientists have begun to unravel the mystery. In the continuation of the article, we present the results obtained so far.
1. Sex is like drugs
Sex makes us feel good. That’s why we crave, love and spend so much time finding our partner. The pleasure we get from sex is largely related to the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that activates the brain’s reward center..

2. Sex acts like an antidepressant
In the year 2000 A study at the University of Albany 300 women Done and determined Women who have had sex without a condom Than Women who used condoms، Fewer depressive symptoms have. The researchers hypothesized that, Different compounds in semen, Including Estrogen And Prostaglandins have antidepressant properties Are, which are absorbed by the body after sex. (Of course, they modified these results for other things, such as being in a serious relationship or oral sex, which is not included in this study). Of course, using a condom to prevent sexually transmitted diseases must be used, and you can stop using it only if you are completely sure of your partner’s health..
**** Prostaglandins: They are one of the most important mediators of inflammation and inhibition of their production by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen *).[۱]) Reduces inflammation. These mediators are also involved in uterine contractions during childbirth, increased bowel movements, improved gastric mucosal defenses, and increased renal blood flow, which have been the basis for many drugs.****
3. Sex (sometimes) is a cause of depression
Does the good feeling that chemicals give to the body during sex continue after that?

In one study per year 2013 in Germany, 60 percent Participants who Migraine Had and 30 percent Who suffers from Cluster headaches They have reported headaches during sex Decreased or completely eliminated Is.
Other studies have shown Women whose G-spot is stimulated have a higher pain tolerance threshold. According to Dr. Beverly Whipple Professor of Rutgers University “These women need more pain stimuli to feel pain,” Whipple did not say why, but other researchers have Oxytocin Oxytocin, also called the bonding hormone, has been shown to cause the mother and baby to have an emotional relationship. Has pain relief properties Is.
**** G-spot: It is the name of a spot in a woman’s vagina that is necessary to reach orgasm****
**** Oxytocin Oxytocin: It is a neurohypophyseal hormone found in mammals. Oxytocin is naturally produced in the submucosa and stored in the posterior pituitary gland and plays a key role in romantic communication, sexual reproduction, and before and after childbirth.
