12. Sexy Time
Having a headache might not put you in the mood for some sexy time. But as it turns out, it might be just what you need to get rid of your headache. Studies have revealed that having sex during a migraine attack can improve symptoms of the headache. While one theory states that the act may just be a distraction from the pain, there might be more to that. Sex, or an orgasm in particular, can release endorphins, which are hormones that help relieve pain. The advantage of these natural chemicals over pain medication is that they work much more quickly.
On the downside, sexual activity is also known to trigger headaches, and in fact is a type of headache in its own right. A dull ache may start building up as you get more sexually excited, or a headache may suddenly come upon you right before or during orgasm. This type of headache typically lasts for at least a few minutes. However, if you are already suffering from a headache, a little time between the sheets with your partner just might be worth exploring!
