据英国阿娜诺娃（Ananova）网站报道，德国科学家研究发现，性爱能够刺激人的大脑，使人变得更加聪明。

汉堡医学研究协会会员韦尔纳·哈伯梅尔指出，有规律的性生活确实能起到使人变聪明的作用。哈伯梅尔解释说，做爱不仅能够使人们的身体亢奋，还能使人们的大脑变得异常活跃，从而增加肾上腺皮质激素的分泌数量，肾上腺质的分泌增加又会刺激人们大脑中灰白髓质的产生。

哈伯梅尔说：“性生活能使人更聪明，因为人们从性生活中积累的经验可以应用于与性爱无关的其他生活领域当中去。”

他表示，如果把性兴奋期间分泌的多肽和复合胺注射到人体内，人们会更加自信。

Sex makes you clever

Sex stimulates the brain and makes people more intelligent, according to a top German researcher.

Werner Habermehl, from the Hamburg Medical Research Institute, says that regular sexual intercourse promotes intelligence.

He said that love making not only excited the body but also the brain and the increased amount of adrenaline and cortisol hormones that are produced stimulates the grey matter, reported magazine Unicum Campus.

"Sex makes you more intelligent in that experiences are collected that can be used later on in areas of life not linked to sex," said Habermehl.

He added that the added injection of endorphins and serotonin that resulted from an orgasm strengthened self-confidence - giving the body a mental as well as physical work out.
