“Masturbation could bring hay fever relief for men”

Neurologist in Iran discovers link between allergy relief and ejaculation.

Masturbation could bring hay fever relief for men – New Scientist

That’s what Sina Zarrintan, a neurologist from the Tabriz Medical University in Iran proposes, anyway. 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.

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.

He suggests masturbating or having sex whenever the symptoms are bad enough to warrant another ejaculation. “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.

This is good news for men and perhaps an answer to the common belief that boys “grow out” of their allergy problems.
