It’s safe to say that by now, most of us know a thing or two about sex — but though we’ve gained plenty of experience through the years, the primal act still seems like a mystery and there’s always something new to discover. Yes, we spend a ton of time reading, watching, and practicing intercourse — but even veritable experts can always stand to learn a thing or two.
Case in point? These wild facts about sex. From the reason we don’t pee all over ourselves mid-thrust to the skinny on why food is such a turn-on for some people, you’re going to want to check these facts out. And just remember, when it comes to sex, knowledge is power.
Vibrators were 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.
The sperm ratio
Your average healthy man produces approximately 300 million sperm in just a teaspoon of his semen. However, it only takes one little swimmer to fertilize a woman’s egg and it can live for up to a week inside your body.
The first thing people do after sex is…
Forget post-coital cuddling! According to a poll, 36 percent of people under the age of 35 check their Facebook and Twitter accounts after a roll in the hay. Hopefully, they are not posting any pictures!
Which sex gets busy more often
Think men get laid more than women? Wrong! According to Men’s Fitness, women have sex 17 percent more often than the average guy. Go girls!
The longest orgasm ever
Even though the male O seems to get all the attention, it turns out the vagina-owners get the last laugh when it comes to climaxing. The average orgasm for people with vaginas lasts 20 seconds — 14 seconds longer than the male’s six-second O.
Orgasms are good for you
Orgasms are good for your health! They can lower a woman’s risk of heart disease, stroke, breast cancer and even depression. So have sex and get happy!

Sex counts as a workout! During 30 minutes of active sex, you burn about 200 calories. And you can even have an orgasm while working out.
Sperm is a natural anti-depressant
According to a study conducted on 293 female college students at the State University of New York in Albany, exposure to semen can lower symptoms of depression.

Sex makes you dirty — but, like, in a good way

Your brain responds to sex in all kinds of different ways
Researchers at Rutgers University, who used fMRI scanners to find out exactly what happens in your brain when you’re aroused, found that different regions of the brain became activated in response to stimulation of the vagina, cervix, clitoris, and nipples.
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.

Sex increases your pain threshold

Your brain turns off (sort of) during sex
According to a study from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, the amygdala — the part of the brain involved in fear and anxiety — shuts down during a female orgasm. So that brain mush you experience during sex is legit!
