Title: Does orgasm activates lymph nodes? If so, how?
Post by: Nimmie on 16/08/2017 11:25:48

I discovered lately that orgasm activates lymph nodes, could this be the reason why some people aren't susceptible to flu(cold) for a long period compared to others?

Yes, sexual arousal and orgasm may stimulate the immune system and increase leukocytes (white blood cell) production. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15316239
