Science Fact Of Sex

1. Vibrators we're invented for
something else
The vibrator was originally invented in the 19th
century as a way to reduce "hysteria." That
seems a little extreme. However, we do not
recommend testing that theory by taking away a
woman's vibrator to see if she goes into a
hysterical fit. That's just dangerous.

attention, it turns out the women get the last laugh

orgasm lasts 20 seconds — 14 seconds longer

nipples.
11. Sex releases hormones that prevent
you from peeing
Ever notice that it's kind of tough to go pee right
after sex? Your body releases an antidiuretic
hormone when you orgasm, which prohibits you
from going potty as easily as usual. Just don't
hold it for too long, or you could risk infection.

Most of the time, a woman only releases one egg
