Recently a research team from Wake Forest University School of Medicine, conducted a study involving 68 young adults with an open objective to establish a relationship between self-reported sexual desire and migraine headache. Every participant reported the level of sexual desire by filling out a 14-item questionnaire. At the same time the participants were asked to conclude if their headache is either migraine or tension. Despite of fact that usual excuse for not having sex is a rebel headache, the result of study showed with no doubt that migraine sufferers estimated a higher level of sexual desire. This founding confirms the existence of a complex relationship between headache and sexual activity, supporting the suspicions that both migraine headaches and sexual desire are influenced by the same brain chemical. This brain chemical seems to be serotonin which also plays an important role in depressive conditions. As previous researches linked the level of serotonin to premature ejaculation, the scientists are interested to explore whether all phenomena are actually related. Migraine headache is a very common condition with an incidence of 5.7 percent in males and 17.6 percent in females. At the same time, it is estimated that premature ejaculation causes problems for 30 percent of males of all age groups. Very interesting is that during the study, males' reported sexual desire was 24 percent higher than females'. |
