                        My thing is they say good sex can clear up allergies but what about bad sex?

                              Before I had septum surgery and I’d get constant congestion I thought that jerking off actually helped me to breath better. Honestly I actually thought it was placebo, nut apparently not!

                                                                                          The Greek word ‘hystera’ means womb, or uterus, so ‘hysteria’ is literally just ‘uterus syndrome’. To take a broader brush, it kind of means ‘woman syndrome’.

                                                                                          Surprises me we still use this naming convention in English, given the obvious modern connotations.

Though when I’m sick, congestion seems to disappear when I sleep (only to return after I wake up.) So if that’s normal and if wet dreams have some kind of decongestant property, we may never know.

                                                                                                              Rules (interactive)

                                                                                                              ** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn’t matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



                                                                                                              Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

                                                                                                              Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



                                                                                                              Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

                                                                                                              Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



                                                                                                              Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

                                                                                                              That’s it.



                                                                                                              Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

                                                                                                              Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



                                                                                                              Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

                                                                                                              Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



                                                                                                              Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

                                                                                                              If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

                                                                                                              Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

                                                                                                              For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
