Zarrintan reckons that a well-timed ejaculation, during which the sympathetic nervous system constricts blood vessels across the body, should soothe the swollen nasal blood vessels and, thereby, free the airway for normal breathing.Although no clinical trials have been performed to test Zarrintan's hypothesis, he believes that it may have many benefits over decongestant drugs if proved to work.He highlights the fact that decongestant have been known to contribute to hypertension."Furthermore, if used for more than two or three days, they can actually make congestion worse," New Scientist magazine quoted him as saying.He recommends masturbating or having sex whenever the symptoms are bad enough to warrant another ejaculation."It can be done (from) time-to-time to alleviate the congestion and the patient can adjust the number of intercourses or masturbations depending on the severity of the symptoms," he said.A research article on Zarrintan's suggestion has been published in the journal Medical Hypotheses.Source: ANISRM
