Planning on getting down and dirty this weekend? Here are seven things you might not know about that magic moment of climax.

It’s good for you
That much might seem obvious, but here comes the science bit. People who have regular orgasms have been proven to live longer, have lower levels of stress, and lower rates of heart disease and some forms of cancer.
But it’s bad for your breath
Make sure to brush your teeth after. Traces of seminal odour can be detected on the breath of a woman about an hour after intercourse, of course this is according to one 1930’s marriage manual, so as sources go we wouldn’t be too worried about that.
Having an orgasm is easier at that time of the month
For many women, it’s a case of access denied during those days of the month, but if you’re happy to have sex while you have your period, you’re actually more likely to have better orgasms, due to the increase in blood circulation around the groin area at this time.
I’ve got a headache? I’ve got a solution
“Not tonight darling, I’ve got a headache.” If you’ve ever used this before, change your line. Studies have proved that almost half of all regular headache sufferers had their symptoms eased by orgasm, and that it worked much faster than painkillers.
Scream and shout… and let it all out
For him, that is. Studies have shown that males are far more likely to orgasm when their partner gives vocal signs that she’s enjoying herself. Ah bless him, he does care.
Again, again, again!
This is where the ladies have the upper hand, if your partner has the stamina. Many women are capable of multiple orgasms, with doctors Hartman and Fithian recording a high of 134 in a single hour for one (we imagine very happy) patient.
Some people are truly dedicated
The world record for the longest time spent masturbating to orgasm is 6 hours 30 minutes for a woman, and 8 hours 30 minutes for a man. That is what you call determined. We can only imagine the wrist pain afterwards.
