Sex Can Make You Smarter

Recent studies indicate that if you’re looking
to get smarter, you should ramp up your sex
life (via The Atlantic).

Researchers at the
University of Maryland and Konkuk
University in Seoul, South Korea found (in
separate studies) that sex positively impacted
the brains of rats and mice. Well, sex
combats stress, which negatively affects the
way the brain functions, so although sex
isn’t actively increasing intelligence, it is
preventing stress from decreasing
intelligence.

In other words, although sex
can lead to a healthy brain, if you want that
4.0 GPA you still have to do all the boring
lame stuff like study.
