International Female Orgasm Day Highlighted with a Podcast, Showcasing Its Advantages
In the realm of health and wellness, August 8th is a special day – International Female Orgasm Day. This day is dedicated to celebrating the numerous benefits that female orgasms bring to our bodies and minds.
Orgasms, it turns out, are more than just a source of pleasure. They are a powerful tool for hormone regulation, pain relief, and improved sleep quality, among other things.
Sexologist, psychologist, and couple therapist Laura Morán Fernández and sexology journalist Noemí Casquet, guests on the podcast "¡Conó, un podcast!", delve into the scientifically proven benefits of female orgasms.
One of the key benefits is pain relief. Orgasms increase the levels of oxytocin and endorphins, natural painkillers that can help reduce headaches, migraines, and menstrual cramps.
Hormonal balance is another advantage. Orgasms cause increases in DHEA and estrogen levels, supporting healthy hormone production, stronger brain function, improved skin, and vaginal tissue health.
Improved blood circulation is another benefit. Orgasm enhances blood flow throughout the body, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to organs, which supports overall health including heart and brain function.
Enhanced mood and emotional bonding are also significant benefits. The release of oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins during orgasm reduces anxiety and stress, improves emotional connection and attachment with partners, and elevates mood.
Better sleep is another advantage. Hormones released during orgasm, including oxytocin and prolactin, promote relaxation and deeper, more restorative sleep.
Skin and immune health may also benefit from orgasms. Orgasms can reduce cortisol (a stress hormone) levels, increase estrogen which aids collagen production, and improve circulation, contributing to healthier skin and potentially boosting immune function.
Orgasms may also help regulate menstrual cycles by increasing blood flow to reproductive organs.
Moreover, orgasms can increase pain tolerance by up to 100%. This fact is discussed by sexologist Sergio Fosela, another guest on "¡Conó, un podcast!".
The podcast, created by journalists Raquel Elices and Raquel M. Alonso, also explores the topic of female pleasure in depth, with chapters like "En busca del orgasmo perdido" focusing on the female orgasm.
Renowned urologist Helen O'Connell is also discussed in the podcast, adding a medical perspective to the conversation.
Interestingly, orgasms have been linked to better immune function and heart health. Orgasmic contractions tone the pelvic floor, improving continence and preventing prolapses, and orgasms raise markers of immunity like IgA.
In closing, female orgasms provide multiple scientifically supported physical and psychological health benefits linked to hormone release, improved circulation, pain relief, enhanced mood, and better sleep. Celebrating International Female Orgasm Day is a reminder of these benefits and a call to embrace the power of female pleasure.
Sexology expert Laura Morán Fernández, in a podcast episode, highlights how orgasms can boost hormone production, specifically DHEA and estrogen, which support healthy hormone balance, stronger brain function, and improved skin and vaginal tissue health. The enhancement of blood circulation, caused by orgasm, delivers more oxygen and nutrients to organs, contributing to overall heart and brain function.
Orgasms, as discovered through scientific research, increase the levels of natural painkillers like oxytocin and endorphins, helping to relieve headaches, migraines, and menstrual cramps. Additionally, orgasms have been linked to improved mood, emotional connection, and reduced stress levels due to the release of oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. Better sleep is another advantage, as hormones released during orgasm promote relaxation and deeper, more restorative sleep.
