Fitness chain Equinox has a bit of advice for its customers on how to reduce stress: have an orgasm.
With its “
Furthernore” lifestyle and health information service, Equinox sent out an email newsletter with ideas on what to do to get through periods of acute anxiety, and one of those tips included “have an orgasm before bed.”
Indeed, Equinox
insists that having orgasms is not just for pleasure, TMZ noted.
“Whether with a partner or solo,” the tip reads, “having an orgasm can relieve anxiety and help you sleep better. That’s thanks to their ability to increase endorphins and oxytocin, lowering levels of cortisol.
“Even the routine surrounding sex and masturbation can create a chill mood. So, light those candles or cue up some audio erotica,” the email tip adds.
