This week’s episode is all about sex. Our VP or Performance, Kristen Holmes, sits down with Dr. Michele Lastella, a researcher in sleep, sexual activity, and athletic performance, for an in-depth discussion on how sexual activity plays a role in your sleep quality, your physiology, and your emotional wellbeing. Plus, we also reveal the latest WHOOP insights on sexual activity and masturbation. Kristen and Dr. Lastella discuss how sex helps you be present (5:01), the hormonal response triggered in our bodies (6:26), how sex can reduce sleep latency (8:48), sleep and libido (13:01), sex as a health promoting behavior (16:50), new WHOOP sex and masturbation data (21:53), how sex habits change as we age (23:02), what the research says about sex with your regular partner (24:45), the role sex plays in purpose (27:52), which U.S. states report the most sex on WHOOP (30:46), and how events like Valentine's Day and the Super Bowl change sex behaviors (35:44).
