Does masturbation temporarily relieve physical pain? (minor burns or joint pain)?

Question

I've heard that endorphins released during orgasms relieve pain.

Is this true?

Answer 1

Well, yes; in part because it distracts you from the pain, and in part because of the endorphins. However, it's only a temporary thing -- you'd wear yourself out trying to use this method for pain relief.

Answer 2

Yes. Orgasms relieve pain because of the endorphins released.  Endorphins consist of any of a group of peptide hormones that bind to opiate receptors and are found mainly in the brain. Endorphins reduce the sensation of pain and affect emotions. Orgasms release endorphins.

Answer 3

oooooooooooh how I wish this was true...but It can MOMENTAIRLY relieve pain. Not long term.

Answer 4

yes-mostly after the big O

Answer 5

yes this is true. the endorphins are stronger than anything else that could be prescribed by a doctor. although if its joint pain you may want to get to the root cause

Answer 6

I have read that eating hot peppers releases endorphins too. I`ll bet eating hot peppers and not rincing off your hands before masterbating would make you forget about a lot of other pains, and release a few extra endorphins too.  

Answer 7

Answer 8
