4. Vaginal Orgasm
Yes, you read it right! Orgasm actually helps relieve the pain associated with menstrual cramps. Female orgasm experts describe vaginal orgasms as internal and involving the entire body. The nerves that transmit the pleasures of sexual experience from the clitoris are different from those in the vaginal area, they claim. Orgasm is usually caused by several nerves that travel to the brain via the spinal cord, and other channels throughout the body.
Orgasm, like exercise, triggers the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins and Oxtocin – hormones that relieve pain . This helps a person to feel good during menstrual cramps. In his 1985 study, Dr. Beth Whipple found that female self-stimulation (masturbation) increased women’s tolerance for menstrual cramps. Orgasm is a great way to relieve yourself of the emotional burden that comes from committing to sexual partners.
