THEY say there’s beauty in pain and if you want to verify this, ask someone who’s done more than one tattoo.
Despite the pain that comes with having a tattoo, many people seem to go back for more despite the pain.
As weird as it may sound having an orgasm can help with period pains.
According to gynaecologist Dr Aruna Kalra, when one is having an orgasm, the body releases chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine that act as painkillers. When you orgasm, the blood rushes to the uterus and helps relieve the cramps. It also helps to get rid of stress and even releases endorphins in the body, thereby enhancing relaxation and helps you sleep better.
