Compared to some of the other ways this might be worth giving a shot!

Can 'Sexy Spanking' Help You With Anxiety?

According to The New York Post, Lisa Finn, a Brooklyn-based sex educator, says, "While it may sound counterintuitive, for some people, 'impact play' like spanking can actually help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety through pain, or as many players would term it, 'intense sensation.'"

Experts say impact play like sexy spanking can help keep you in the moment and now allow intrusive or anxious thoughts in. According to The New York Post, research suggests that the presence of sexual arousal before or alongside the infliction of pain serves as an analgesic, altering levels of dopamine and oxytocin leading to the positive anticipation of pain.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
