As if we needed another excuse to have more sex, a study shows it makes you smarter. It makes total sense that having sex can make you smarter. Think of all the idiots you know. How much sex do they have? Exactly!

Researchers at University of Amsterdam have done a study and found that having sex can make you smarter. Here are the 5 ways that getting down and dirty makes you a genius. Well let's not go that far, it will make you a little smarter.

1. Mental Capacity- In the study they found that those who thought about sex on a regular basis did better in critical thinking test. This is why men have always thought with their heads instead of their brains!

2. Happiness-Researchers found that sperm has a chemical called Oxytocin, which can alter moods. Making you happy. Like the morning after, men and women seem to always be in a better mood after a good nights lay.

3. Stress Relief-Sex has always been considered a stress relief. It now has been confirmed. A kiss alone will release Oxytocin, making you less stressed and in a better mood. If a kiss can do that imagine what an hour long sesh would do. Which in return helps you think better when you are not so stressed out.

4. Self Esteem-Sex makes you feel good, and feel better about yourself raising your self esteem. A high self esteem will help you think better and function better on a day-to-day basis.

5. Sleep-scientist have said for years the key to a productive day is getting a good night rest. We all know what happens when a man rolls over, right to sleep. Plus the release of Oxytocin helps you relax and get to sleep quicker.

I'm not saying if you go whore yourself out you will become Albert Einstein. Let's face it though, a lot of us need to do all we can to get a little smarter. So go out there and be somebody and have some SEX!
