Another Reason To Bang Tonight, Sex Boosts Brain Power

A recent study has connected sexual activity to increased brain growth. Just another reason to get your bang on. Find out more after the jump.

Researchers studied rats and found that those with a checkered sexual resume (or at least at had knocked tails a few times) were much less stressed than prudish, virginal rats. I don’t quite understand how you can tell if rats are virgins, but for the sake of this post, we’ll pretend we all understand.

When scientists hooked these rats up and observed the levels of a stress hormone called glucocorticoid in each of the test subjects, they found that sexually active rats were far happier and therefore produced fewer glucocorticoids. Unpleasant, stressful events have been shown to have a negative impact on the brain, so the happier the test subject, the stronger the brain.

So when you’re mackin’ out at the bar tonight, just toss out the baby you boost my brain power line out and I’m sure she’ll go for it.
