On Public Speaking and Sex

Leave it to the BBC to report on the effects of sex on public speaking. Actually, they're reporting on this article from New Scientist magazine.

Apparently, sex helps reduce stress, which in turn helps you relax for a public speaking gig. And the study went so far as to look at differet types of sex, and found that penetrative sex is the best for stress levels.

Not so surprisingly, those who fully abstained "had the highest blood-pressure response to stress."
