That's not true, right?

We're especially taught, you know, back to this shame that is often cast upon women.

That shows up doubly true in the context of casual sex and women who are single and trying to carve out sexual experiences that work for them.

But yes, in the context of building on your sex life with your partner, when you use that launching point of the best sex you've ever had, I'm talking about that with your partner, of course.

Dhru Purohit Show

And it's interesting because the direction of causality, forgive me for the nerdy speak, goes both ways, right?

Which means that sex, particularly orgasm, leads to higher quality sleep, right?

But also, being well rested leads to better quality sex and orgasms.

So it's definitely something with there is so much research coming out just showing how critical sleep is to our mental health.

We all know if you're walking around and you're exhausted, that that's just not going to be good for you in your life in general.

Dhru Purohit Show

That's not what leads to thriving.

Dhru Purohit Show

Sex, orgasm, those are very effective paths towards that kind of deep level sleep that we need to feel refreshed every day.

Dhru Purohit Show

And it's a virtuous cycle because if you feel more well-rested, you're going to be more likely to want to have sex.

We are all dealing with colds, flus.

There isn't research yet showing the impact of sex as a protective mechanism against COVID, but wouldn't be surprised if there's something there.

As long as you wash your hands.
