from http://www.shada.org.uk/docs/5/Health_Benefits_Sex.docIn 1997 in the BMJ, a 10 year research study into 1000 middle aged men at Queens University, Belfast revealed that sex on a regular basis is not just healthy but also increases lifespan. Men were matched for similar age and health, and those with the highest orgasm frequency displayed half the death rate of men who did not have such frequency of orgasm. Researchers believed it was due to the stress reduction effect of sex. Interestingly levels of DHEA is increased five times higher during orgasm or just before ejaculation. DHEA is produced by the adrenal cortex and is found in higher levels in people who live longer.Improved Senses:Sex improves the senses – e.g the sense of smell. After orgasm there is a rise in prolactin, a hormone. This makes the brain’s stem cells grow new neurones in the olfactory bulb, the area responsible for the sense of smell, increasing a person’s ability to smell. Reduces Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke:A 2001 follow up to the Queen’s Belfast study (Shah Ebrahim) found that men who had sex 2-3 times a week reduced their chances of having a heart attack or stroke by half. Sex is a natural pain reliever:Sex is also a pain reliever. Just before orgasm oxytocin levels rise by five times triggering endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killers.Improves Blood Circulation:Sex improves blood circulation, via increased breathing rate and oxygenation.Improves Immune System: Those who have sex 1-2 times a week present 30% greater amounts of the immune-boosting antibody IgA (Wilkes, University Pennsylvania).maybe we should contactqueens uni, belfast CANADA (I thought this was the uni from the study!):http://psyc.queensu.ca/faculty/pukall/sexhealth.htmqueens uni , BELFASTInstitute of Clinical Sciences, Block BPhone: +44 (0) 28 9063 5009Fax No: +44 (0) 28 9023 5900Email: CPH@qub.ac.ukplusWilkes, University Pennsylvaniaand Shah Ebrahimmore siteshttp://www.obgyn.ubc.ca/SexualHealth/contact.phphttp://www.uvm.edu/~shrc/http://www.sexhealthmatters.org/v2/data/about_us/mulhall.asphttp://www.sexhealthmatters.org/v2/data/about_us/about_us.aspfromhttp://www.eroticuniversity.com/healthorgasm.htmlSouth Illinois School of Medicineolfactory/senses//www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDXPz9zVn2w//www.youtube.com/watch?v=NppTDml9v44
Here's a direct quote from the Ashbey paper:Evidence of many more undiagnosedsufferers of POIS is seen in the existenceof an extremely active Internet forum where morethan 100 people have self-reported symptomsof POIS. The website offers a forum to sharesupport and suggestions of remedies and canbe found at http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=6576.Also want to let everyone know that the paper has been bought with the help of Demo, Limejuice, and myself.

Are you 100% sure I don't have POIS?
Hello all, first post here.I believe I have POIS too and I'm happy to have found you guys. My symptoms gets worst after masturbation and even thinking deeply about sexual related things. I'm 28, my symptoms are...mental/physical fatigue, lack of focus, some memory loss, tightening and clicking noise inside the brainsome eye irritationloss of metabolism and energyI'm seeing a neurologist, will be doing an MRI scan. Will keep you guys posted. I kind of doubt they will give me a POIS diagnosis/treatment, even if they found something.I'm kind of desperate like most of you guys. I like to know what I can try. So far I read about trying L-tyrosine, L-Phenylalanine, DHEA, Relora. I also read about seeing a endocrinologist to do some sort of hormone blood test. Thank you guys, any help or advice is appreciatedHarry
can we somehow get pois in wikipedia, it would create some awareness
Hello everyone,First of all, sorry for my poor english, I'm a 26 years old man from Belgium, French is my native language.Since I'm about 18 years old I have suffered from * extreme tiredness (physical and mental)* difficulties to speak for no specific reasons (can't find words, cannot make a clear sentence, making simple grammar mistakes, loss of spontaneity)* general loss of memory* reduced capacity to think clearly, lack of concentration (sometimes impossible to concentrate at all)* from time to time pressure in the head which implies big pain in the eyes* sensation in the head (it's not really pain, nor warmth ... I just feel something ... very hard to describe)* depression, change of mood, negativeAnd these symptoms imply complete loss of self confidence, impossible to work (jobless now), no social life, no girlfriend.Some days, I can speak very well and feel good, and at some days *I know* that it's better to stay home alone and better feel lonely than deceiving the people around, which increases depression.Most of the people think of me that I'm too lazy and I was persuaded of this myself. But lately I understood that i'm constantly fighting against my tiredness, that i'm not lazy and I want to change, but I can't overcome it ...I have seen several doctors for this, who sent me to psychologists, psychiatrist and psycho-therapeutist. It didn't help.I have taken anti-depressants like Effexor and Sipralexa but it had no effects at all. Tried several types of vitamins, didn't help either.I noticed that after ejaculation, it's a **complete disaster**. I feel *so* lazy, that I can't do anything at all ! Can't think, can't concentrate, can't speak fluently ...I told that several times to the doctors, but seems they say it's psychological and send me again to some psychologist.My brain has also been scanned (the pressure if i'm not wrong), but nothing was wrong.I feel completely hopeless now, i typed on Google "ejaculation extreme fatigue" and came across this forum, I'm somehow happy to see that i'm not the only one with this problem.Some more little details about me to complete the above (if any interest ... maybe people here can find something in common) : I have *a lot of* dandruff, can't get rid of them with any shampoo, many loss of hair, a huge quantity of sperm after ejaculation (very liquid), rings under eyes, lot of cerumen in ears.Seems that my body produces too much ? I have done all the tests about thyroide, but doctors can't find anything wrong.I didn't have a joyful past ... so this disease may be related to my past somehow, but seems that nobody can help me with it.Has any member here found out something to get better ? It's a such a burden ... I can't stand it anymore.Thank you for any attention( Here is my email in any case: my.delahaye@gmail.com )
@demo,Thank you for your welcome message. I'm a programmer so if you need help with the website that would be welcome.
@Vandemolen,Thank you for your response! I appreciate it very much. Indeed, I feel bad during several days/weeks and I know that the only thing I can do is just wait for the recovery... However, i don't feel sick, but MAINLY very tired, lazy, negative and depressed. I don't feel any pain. (By the way, did you read my updates under "Some more little details..." ? Checked your posts and having some interesting similarities about relationships.)@demo,Thank you for your welcome message. I'm a programmer so if you need help with the website that would be welcome.
