Turns out that all those expensive cold remedies could be a waste of time after a new study into nasal congestion has unearthed a rather unusual treatment for men; masturbating!

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!
