Topics about sex and sexually related concepts have always been interesting. Of course, this particular one isn’t going to be an exception. From the title, it’s obvious that the nexus between sex, orgasm, and anti-depressant needed to have expatiated. This is exactly what this piece of write up will attempt to do.
First, it will examine each of these terms after which the grey areas would be cleared. In a nutshell, what is to be explored centers on how effective sex and orgasm with its wonderful benefits can be if used as anti-depressants. Now, let’s examine the concept one after the other.
Sex
Sex entails intercourse between a man and a woman. It’s the case where a man inserts his reproductive organ (penis) into a woman’s reproductive organ (vagina) solely for the purpose of procreation. At least, that’s what it means if we go back to basics. However today, the concept has various interpretations depending on whichever angle it is viewed from. The word has been used to describe a whole lot of sexually related activities – from cunnilingus (oral sex) to anal sex. Let’s not dwell much on this as it is not the core of this piece.
There are several reasons why people engage in sexual intercourse. Love, pleasure, and procreation being the foremost reasons why people have sex but in modern times, the list has become inexhaustible. Even, people have begun to provide ridiculous reasons as to why they engage in the act. Such reasons as insecurity and inquisitiveness have been given as precipitating sex.
More so, there is a myriad of benefits that can be derived from engaging in sexual intercourse. Some of these benefits include; sex helps to improve one’s libido; it helps to reduce the risk of heart attack or cardiac arrest; procreation; reduces the risk of contracting prostate cancer; helps strengthens the immune system, it also counts as a form of exercise. The list goes on and on.
Orgasm
This is the height of sexual intercourse. In other words, it’s the apogee of sexual excitement. It’s that moment when you release all that’s built up in your body as a result of your sexual experience. It’s an intense moment and crucial in that it brings sexual intercourse to a halt, at least temporarily if not permanently. Orgasm is also synonymous with climaxing or cumming in both guys and some ladies. Inlay man’s term, that point when you release fluid (semen) from your penis is known as orgasm. This happens in some ladies too. Orgasm happens in females at that point when fluid ooze out from the gland close to the urethra. For males, you’d notice that immediately after orgasm, as the penis returns to its flaccid nature, the body is also restored to normalcy. The same goes for females, after the discharge of erotic fluid as their body is relaxed and gets back to normal. Orgasm is also said to possess some possible health benefits to the body due to the chemicals and hormones the body releases during the process of orgasm.
Anti-depressants
As the name implies, antidepressants simply mean against depression. These are medication taken to prevent, ease, or recover from depression, anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, dysthymia, and related conditions. These medications are intended to correct imbalanced neurotransmitters that are responsible for character or behavioral alteration in the brain. Anti-depressants are classified into five categories. They include; serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) used for treating acute depressions and related conditions; selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) which are common and effective for treating mild depression with fewer or no side effects; Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs); Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) which handles initial stage of depression before the introduction of SSRIs and SNRIs; lastly, Noradrenaline and Specific Serotoninergic antidepressants (NASSAs) which are used to treat personality disorders and related conditions.
The Nexus Between Sex, Orgasm, and Anti-depressant
One of the many benefits of sex is that it helps to relieve stress. This is the connecting link between sex, orgasm, and anti-depressants. During orgasm, which is the extreme height of sexual excitement, the body releases endorphins and like hormones which are capable of functioning as an anti-depressant for the time being thereby, boosting mood and help to relieve stress. This is the reason why sex is prescribed as a therapy for depressed minds as it helps to take one’s mind off everyday challenges and setbacks. Sex and orgasm also help to stabilize blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular attack. Instead of relying on pills which could have devastating side effects on your body, try having good sex to boost your mood and come alive again.
