The Big O(h No)!

Orgasms have been linked to a number of positive health and beauty tricks. They give you that oh-so-satisfying glow, they can lower stress and even reduce headaches and let’s not forget they are very, very fun. But like everything else in life, those orgasms come with a price (pun unintended).

Unfortunately the big O isn’t all sunshine and toe-curling euphoria that it may seem to be on the surface. Don’t let your libido fool you, orgasms can be dangerous too!

Guardian is reporting that your orgasm could increase your chance of being pregnant, knocked up, with child, up the creek without a condom… however you want to say it. Bottom line: orgasms give couples the best chance at producing a child.

Believe me, I learned my sex ed a long time ago.  Even before sex ed, I had that talk. You know how it goes, “When a man and a woman love each other very much…blah blah blah icky cringe.” That being said, I get that sex leads to babies – there was never any confusion there.

What I did not understand was that there are all sorts of muscle contractions and fertility pressures and magical testicle reserves that are tapped into upon orgasm.

The basic fertility rule here seems to be, the more orgasms women have during sex means not only more pleasure but enhanced fertility as well. Just in case you think biology is sexist and unfair, there’s an equation for men as well. The longer men last, the more healthy swimmers they will release.

Is anyone else wondering if men have known this all along, and have been finishing quickly and not making us orgasm for our own benefits? Maybe a one-minute man isn’t so bad afterall…
