Sex and Diabetes

Many diabetes suffer from some type of sexual dysfunction such as fatigue, vaginitis, decrease sex drive, decrease vaginal lubrication, longer periods to reach an orgasm, impotence, or frigidity. The ironic thing is that sex can actually help keep insulin levels in check and improve theses conditins, along with many others associated with diabetes.

Did you know that there has been a 70% increase in the occurrence of type II diabetes? It is the silent killer, and unfortunately most people seems to accept it. Research shows that there should be a rise in sexual activity because the oxytocin levels decrease and so does the sensitivity to insulin. The extra bonus from having sex if you're a diabetic is the surge of prolactin you get from a orgasm. Prolactin is a stimulating factor for the immune system, but it is especially helpful in reducing elevations in the blood glucose levels in a person with type I diabetes, according to studies perform by the department of medical cell biology. The best way to naturally increase your oxytocin and prolactin levels is to have lots of orgasms, at least two to three times a week.
