According to a paper in the Journal of Medical Hypotheses, a man ejaculating could be "a potential treatment of nasal congestion in mature males."
"The emission phase of ejaculation is under the control of the sympathetic nervous system, which of course has lots of adrenergic receptors. The author reasons that ejaculation will stimulation adrenergic receptors in the refractory period immediately afterward, and stimulation of your adrenergic receptors will give you relief from your cold."
And what's even better than that? The author believes that with the correct planning, that us men could keep our nasal passages clear for the rest of our lives!

How hilarious, bodily fluids coming out of both ends of the body, at the same time.

Ha, that's a very dignified and restrained picture you chose to accompany the story, Matt :)
Masturbation certainly works for period pain! It's nice to know there are even more tricks to add to the home remedies list.

I say it works for women too. Just like jogging, the heavy breathing clears up my sinuses every time! This sounds like a lot of science for an obvious home remedy.

Super funny that I stumbled upon this today. I have three guy roommates right now, and two of them just got post nasal drip... now I can give them this rocking medical advise on how to work it out.

Guess you can tell when someone hasn't got any for a while.
"I have nasal congestion."
"I'm sorry to hear you haven't gotten off in a while."
"What?"

LOL, I just posted the same story and, Matt, you really highlighted the masturbation bit!
But I guess you're right. When a man has a running nose and hypertrophic tonsils is not particularly attractive in a girl's eyes.

Coincidentally, I was just reading an article about Freud's friend and colleague Wilhelm Fliess (1858-1928), who did his fair share to develop 'scientific' theories regarding the connection between nose and genitals ... funny how some quite bizarre ideas persist!
