You See, Honey, I Have This Meeting Tomorrow...

Thank goodness we have these Scottish researchers around to provide us with such valuable information. According to a new study from the University of Paisley (no word if Prince is on the faculty), sex can calm your nerves and even lower your blood pressure before giving a speech.

A psychologist studied nearly 50 men and women who recorded their sexual activities for two weeks and analyzed its impact on their blood pressure levels when under acute stress, such as when giving a speech. He discovered that the volunteers who had sexual intercourse were the least stressed and had blood pressure levels that returned to normal more quickly than people who engaged in other types of sex.
