Sex with a partner is 400% better

* 22 February 2006
* From New Scientist Print Edition

LOVERS know only too well that men usually need a "recovery period" after orgasm, and that sexual intercourse with orgasm is more satisfying than an orgasm from masturbation alone. Now scientists think the two phenomena might be linked.

Following orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released into the bloodstream in both men and women. The hormone makes us feel satiated by countering the effect of dopamine, which is released during sexual arousal.

Stuart Brody of the University of Paisley, UK, and Tillmann Krüger of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, measured blood prolactin levels in male and female volunteers who watched erotic films before engaging in masturbation or sexual intercourse to orgasm in the laboratory.

Surprisingly, after orgasm from sexual intercourse, the increase in blood prolactin levels is 400 per cent higher in both sexes compared with after orgasm from masturbation (Biological Psychology, vol 71, p 312).

This explains why orgasm from intercourse is more satisfying than masturbation, says Brody. Since elevated levels of prolactin have been linked to erectile dysfunction, this may also explain why most men need a recovery period after sex.

Discuss. I couldn't decide to post it in here or in Love and Relationships, but it has an absolute figure so in here.

I suppose actually having a partner is better than just perceiving one, hence greater level of satisfaction.

What about masturbation with a partner?

If you rtfa you would notice that it also discusses what causes the inability to achieve orgasm after sex with a partner for a period. Also it gives a quantified amount it is better, although the experience isn't necessairly a linear increase there isn't much you could do to measure that. In addition it explains why it is better, an increase of the hormone prolactin. What you are suggesting is that scientists are morons for wanting to know why something occurs. So we should stop looking at how cancer forms from carcinogens should we? Extreme example but still applicable.

Wow that is freaky, I automatically cum to the masturbation thread, and you've thought of me.....

I think the moral of this story is that everyone should be watching erotic films. The world would be a happier place.

No the moral of the story is that we should all be having sex with each other... because it is 400 times better!

 

[Mrs.McDreamy]

Tut Tut Tut.....not doind any maths are we? 400% = 4x better. God leigh!

If that is really is the moral, I'll see you in my bed.....now

Lucky for me i dont do maths. I have an excuse!!!! Sorry no can do with the bed thinng... im already in it, WITH YOUR MUM!! im so witty.

 

[Mrs.McDreamy]

HAHA nice..... why are you up so early?? Get on msn fag

Sorry was heading to the state library!!! omg im so cool... i just got home from mardi gras .... so there

I'd say it's only 200-300% better.
