    I’m going to speculate ( without bothering to read the article) that the answer is ……. Probably?

    Of course they are, what a silly question?

    Floods of all sorts of happy chemicals released naturally, what could possibly be bad about that and fun too.

    Have to give the guy props for going along with that headline and his headshot appearing next to each other in the name of getting good sexual health information out there. Fair play.

    Hmm, this may be a TMI post but here goes.

    I once had to see a psychologist for reasons relating to stressful incidents in my past. One question she asked was when I last had sex, and if it was ‘fulfilling’. Lovely circumlocution, that.
    Her view was that not having a ‘fulfilment’ was not good for your health, most particularly mental. The endorphins released and the oxytocin helped cement the relationship and bring on a sense of well being.

    She also commented (and this I relate to the open airways comment in the piece) that many newlyweds reported getting colds and runny noses on honeymoons ruining the various moments. This she said was because the hormones released when you like someone opens up everything in your nasal area, causing you to release more tears, which leads to more runny noses, which leads to getting a cold.

    And the cure? Well, getting it on. And her comment was that when you can have intimate relations with the one you love when both your noses are running, it is not Holywood but it is true love :-)

      Don’t we all?
      Emphasis on the word ‘good’, as opposed to the word ‘rogering’ though.
      However, I would draw attention to the fact that the headline refers to orgasms, not sexual intercourse.
      There’s more than one way to skin a cat.

      Great idea fluffy, it’s about time this country grew the hell up in regards to sex.

      What do you say Broadsheet, too sexually repressed for some kink or open to all serious offers?

      OR, we could let the author Dr. Muiris host it. Then any concerns could begin with, (oh come on this one writes itself);
      Houston, we have a problem.

      I’ll get me tissues.

    Jesus, well I’d tell ye if I had them more often. No room for my loud strangled noises when you live back at the family home
