Sex a ‘cute’ treatment for an acute headache

Question: If — as they like to boast — women multi-task so well, why can’t they have a headache and sex at the same time?

Answer: Don’t ask.

In any case, that little conundrum might just have met a solution, as scientists have discovered the best cure for a headache is sex.

Neurologists have found a little nookie can lead to “partial or complete relief” in some migraines.

The research, conducted at the University of Münster in Germany, suggests making love can be more effective than taking painkillers.

Their study, reported in Cephalalgia, the journal of the International Headache Society, found over half of migraine sufferers who had sex during an episode felt an improvement in symptoms.

One-in-five were left without any pain at all, while others — admittedly mostly male sufferers — used sexual activity as a therapeutic tool.

The scientists found that sex triggered the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which can reduce, or even eliminate, a headache.

“The majority of patients with migraine or cluster headache do not have sexual activity during headache attacks,” the study concluded. “Sex can abort migraine and cluster headache attacks.”

Perhaps that should be a “cute” headache treatment.
