Talking Points from Dr. Tammy Penhollow on
Sex and Positive Thinking on the Brain:
Sex Benefits and the Brain
Cognitive benefits of sex are related to the release of neurohormones dopamine, norepinephrine, and oxytocin; this promotes bonding, feelings of well-being, and calmness. Oxytocin release can lead to melatonin secretion, which helps with sleep. These cycles also regulate cortisol release (the stress hormone), increases blood flow to the brain, and decrease anxiety.
Brain function decreases with age, but increased frequency of sexual activity is directly related to improved memory, especially in those over 50. Additional cognitive benefits include visual and verbal fluency, language, word recollection, and spatial orientation.
So, in addition to reductions in stress and anxiety, the ability to speak, think, remember, and feel good are benefits of regular sexual activity.

Positive Thinking and the Brain
Positive thinking has profound effects on the brain’s ability to adapt to stresses and overcome them. Improved and widened focus, attention span, and creativity are benefits of positive thoughts. It comes down to the release and inhibition of neurohormones and neurochemicals, including cortisol and serotonin.
Not only can we maintain brain function as we age with proper sleep, diet, and exercise, but having a great positive outlook can possibly prevent us from cognitive decline and keep us sharp and happy.
