Speaking of
smart people going at it, it turns out your sex life could affect your intelligence! That's right... all that boot-knockin' does more than giving you a
dose of natural botox and
helping you burn a few extra calories. It can also make you smarter!

According to new research, sexual activity can improve mental performance and improve memory function. Via a study looking at middle-aged rats (exactly what you want to associate with your sex life, I'm sure), those engaged in sex showed signs of improved cognitive functions.
Woo hoo! So what this study is saying is that all those days in college that I skipped school for a random hookup were totally fine and I was getting a perfectly good education that way, right? And when I slept through calculus every morning because I was tired from too much booty the night before - that was basically the SMARTER choice, yes?
Yeah. That's what I thought. Put down the book, go get booty*. For your brain.
(* Just kidding. Read a book. It's good for you.)
