FINALLY RELIEF FROM HAY FEVER TORTURE!!!! ADULT IN NATURE

All these wasted years; I have been taking sudefuds, claritan, breathing in steam, eye drops, nose drops, nose sprays, antihistamines by who knows how many different names.  What a waste of time and money. I wonder if this is one of those things they say the pharmecutical industry were hiding from the public?  (Italics were added by me)

 

 

SEX/MASTERBATION COULD BRING HAYFEVER RELIEF FOR MEN. 

NewScientist; Health section, by David Rosen

Spring is here and with it come the woes of hay fever. Never fear, however, as there may be a quick and pleasurable treatment to clear those bunged noses, for guys at least (sorry ladies) – a well-timed ejaculation.  (Wish he had defined what a "well-timed ejaculation is!?)

That's what Sina Zarrintan, a neurologist from the Tabriz Medical University in Iran proposes, anyway. (Iran!!!!!! Iran lets this kind of research go forward? Surprised me, I thought certain researchers would be minus a hand or something!)  The logic behind the proposal is based on the fact that the nose and the genitals are both connected to the same part of the nervous system that controls certain reflexes – the sympathetic nervous system.  (Kind of supports the theory that HE corrected a lot of things with HIS second model!)

A blocked nose is caused by swollen and inflamed nasal blood vessels, irritated by an infection or pollen in the air. But during ejaculation, the sympathetic nervous system constricts blood vessels across the body. That should soothe the swollen nasal blood vessels, freeing the airway for normal breathing, according to Zarrintan. (Am thinking [yeah I know it is dangerous] that there might be something to the urban legends about people who climax when they sneeze. Or did they sneeze when they climaxed?)

He hasn't yet performed clinical trials (So just where does one volunteer?) to test the hypothesis, but if it works, it could have many benefits over decongestant drugs, Zarrintan says, which have been known to contribute to hypertension. "Furthermore, if used (the pills, not the manipulation!) for more than two or three days, they can actually make congestion worse," he adds.

TAKE AS NEEDED

He suggests masturbating or having sex (We get a choice I hope!!?) whenever the symptoms are bad enough to warrant another ejaculation. ("whenever. . .symptoms are bad enough ..."  That is up to us right??) "It can be done [from] time-to-time to alleviate the congestion and the patient can adjust the number of intercourses or masturbations depending on the severity of the symptoms," he says. (A lot of men are going to be planting ragweed, acacias, pine trees, what ever they are allergic to, around their houses.)

 

 

 

The theory is not without its critics, however. Mohammad Amin Abolghassemi Fakhree from Tabriz University in Iran, believes the disadvantages of ejaculation outweigh the possible benefits. (There is always one spoil-sport!!)

 

"There are some limitations in using ejaculation or masturbation as treatment of nasal congestion, such as not being applicable out of home and not having any sex partner", he writes in a response to the proposal.

 

 

 

Fellows, if your insurance covers this sort of thing, just remember, there ARE male nurses. . .

 

No-one has yet argued that it makes your palms hairy.

Some people just do not get the concept.
