SEX FORUM Bonking is good for your memory – don’t you forget it!

-

FORGET traditiona­l brain training, the best way to boost your memory is with regular BONKING sessions.

A new study has revealed that having sex on a regular basis is proven to improve your memory – especially if you’re a woman.

The research also found that women who achieved better results in tests also enjoy a more active sex life at home.

Boffins at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, reckon the impact sex has on memory is to do with the reactions it causes in the brain.

A spokespers­on said: “These results suggest sex may indeed have beneficial effects on memory function in healthy young women.

“They support the hypothesis that frequency of sex is positively associated with memory scores.”

The scientists recruited 78 women, aged between 18 and 29, to take part in the study.

They were quizzed about their shagging antics before being put through a series of tests.

To measure their short-term recall, the women were asked to look at a group of 60 words and faces before being asked to pick them out from a larger group.

The results, which were published in Archives of Sexual Behaviour, revealed the women who romped the most often claimed the highest scores on the tests.

And the effects were much stronger when it came to recalling words, rather than faces.

We asked Sport scorcher Jess Angel, from Oldham, whether she reckons her sex life has any impact outside the bedroom.

The 20-year-old glamour babe said: “Well, who’d have thought it. Most surveys about sex are just about how many calories you burn or how happy it makes you – but if this is true, it could actually be really useful!

“I am always losing my keys or forgetting to text people back, so I will definitely be trying to change that by having more sex.

“It’s a win-win really and I don’t think my boyfriend will have a problem with getting some more practice in!”
