Bright light has been considered a sex signal in the animal kingdom, and it seems we are no different. New research published in the Journal of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics suggests that bright light therapy can improve sex drive and could even treat sexual disorders in humans.
This Wouldn’t Be The First Study
Studies have been made where it was found that glow worms that had the brightest tail were the most attractive to males and were more likely to lay more eggs, and this must have awakened curiosity to see if the same could be said for humans, because studies analyzing light therapy and its effect on sexuality have been going on for a long time.
A few years ago, the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences sponsored a study that took 22 women with longer menstrual cycles, and used bright light therapy to test if it affected the ovulation process or any sex hormones. After a testing period, the results showed that menstrual cycles were relatively normalized and that sex hormone production was boosted.
This new study takes it to the next level, by examining if bright light therapy has any effect on people with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, sexual arousal disorder, and orgasmic disorder. They were between ages of 39-60. Two testing groups were formed: one that would receive real bright light therapy, or placebo light therapy.
The results found that 60% of of the group that received real bright light therapy no longer met their criteria of the sexual disorders and even had improved sexual satisfaction, while 100% of the placebo group still met the criteria for sexual disorder.
So Bright Light Treatment Makes
The results of this study reveal that there is a significant improvement in sexual satisfaction in three out of five of the people in the study, so this could actually be used to treat people with sexual dysfunction disorders, even those linked to psychiatric illnesses, and obviously could give a boost to people with lower sex drives. It may not make you better at sex, but it could certainly make sex better.
