A great new method to prepare for a test or a big presentation…
have sex.
A study about blood pressure recently used blood pressure as a measure of stress responses during public speaking or challenging math problems situations that often elicit stress. It was found that those who had recently had intercourse tended to have either lower baseline blood pressures, less of a blood pressure rise during stressful events, or both. These findings suggest that having sex can lead to less of a stress response during challenging situations, which is a good thing.
Along those same lines, another study looked at women’s heart rate as a measure of stress response, and found that women exhibited less of a stress response after ‘positive physical contact’ with a partner. Emotional support alone didn’t have the same effect.
Mancouch asks: so rather than study, you should just have sex? We could get behind this...

LMFAO . well , it DOES relieve stress . . . but you should still study on top of that (;
but this might send the teen pregnancy rate skyrocketing more than it already is . . . this will be their excuse :|
awesome.
Well I wouldn't say not study but sex before a test does sound pretty damn awesome. Still... I need to find someone to have sex with first...
I'd totally have sex before a text. *LOL* Would help me relax, that's for sure.
studying would still have to be done. lol.
xo
How about sex before a test, plus studying for the test?
Cause you know, stress relief isn't enough to make you a pass a test.
Would definitely calm me down for sure!
Haha. Cram and then sex before a test.. sounds good. xD
work the studying into the foreplay...
every correct answer earns a "reward"
and if the girl passes the mock-test, she gets to have the "ultimate" prize
what better incentive is there?
and it's a good exercise for the guy to get better at uhhm self-control
I've heard that before. It also helps if your guy has to do something important at work the next day (like a presentation).
Thanks for the research. I can surely come in handy.
i mean makes sense....its like exercise except its tons more fun and feels and feels goooood :)
but def still study.
I get my rocks off during finals, especially if I'm panicking about filing my final journalism story.
@pawnshop_heart@xanga - Hahaha yeahh I always have sex before I send any texts.
@InTheThin@xanga - Crap...see, this is what happens when I try to type "tests" and am complaining to AT&T about my text messages at the same time. *LOL* Ooops!
See....this is why we guys call sex the "study break"
Mancouch, I'm not sure if you put the "We could get behind this..." part to make me giggle, but regaurdless if it was intentional/unintentional...it does. We could get behind this... ha ha Ohhhh - sexual inuendos are always funny, even if they are anal ones. ;)
I have a fear of sex. So, I'd say study. And if you need the endorphins to rush into your bloodstream to reduce stress, why not just exercise?

this does work somewhat. as long as you dont feel sleepy afterwards.
