Sex is often considered a taboo and a forbidden topic in our society. Here are a few facts about the most primal of human instincts: sex.

• A single man can produce enough sperm in a two-week time period to impregnate every fertile woman on the planet.
• Sex during periods can prove to be more pleasurable for women. Due to an increased blood flow around the genitals during menstruation, women can achieve powerful orgasms during that time of the month.
• Sex can, among other health benefits, relieve a painful headache too. So don’t limit yourself when you have a headache–having sex will give you instant relief from the pain as sex releases tension that restricts the blood vessels in the brain.
