Hey there! Let’s bust some sex myths, shall we?

You might have heard that headaches are a buzzkill for sex, right? But guess what? Sex can actually be the solution! Research from the University of Münster in Germany found that over half of migraine sufferers felt better after getting busy. For about one in five, the headache vanished completely, especially among men. How? Well, sex triggers the release of endorphins, your body’s natural pain reliever, easing that headache away.

And what about peeing before sex to avoid urinary tract infections (UTIs)? It’s a common tip, but is it really the full story? Some experts say yes, some say no. Here’s the scoop: UTIs happen when bacteria make their way into your bladder, often during sex. Peeing beforehand can flush out some of those bacteria, but if you don’t, the urine in your bladder can help wash them away later. Still, some specialists say there’s not enough evidence to fully back this up. The bottom line? Peeing after sex might be more helpful than before.

So, next time someone says no to sex because of a headache or worries about UTIs, tell them the truth – sex might just be the remedy they need!
