MAGIC OF SEX

MAGIC OF SEX. The hormone oxytocin (a nine amino acid peptide that is synthesized in hypothalamic neurons and transported down axons of the posterior pituitary for secretion into blood) secretes within our body whenever we engage in sexualactivity. Because of this secretion, endorphins are released. When a person is aroused or excited, oxytocin levels not only begin to increase, they are the reason that orgasms come about. Studies have shown that a rise in exytocin levels can relieve pain: everything from headaches, cramps and overall body aches can be diminished with a simple roll in the hay.
