The research, which was recently published in the Journal of Neuroscience, looked at the relationship between touch and cerebral development in 20 adult females.

As part of the research, female volunteers – between the ages of 18 and 45 – had their clitorises stimulated by a vibrating object placed above their underwear, while their brains were scanned.

Researchers also asked female volunteers how frequently they had had sex over the past year.

As the device vibrated, the somatosensory cortex region of the brain was activated.

Researchers then measured the thickness of that brain area, finding it was bigger in females who reported having more S3X.

“We found an association between the frequency of genital intercourse and the thickness of the individually mapped genital field,” explains study co-author Dr Christine Heim – a professor of medical psychology at Charite University Hospital in Berlin.

This means that the larger the region of the brain, the more S3X a woman has.

This isn’t the first study to look into the cognitive benefits of S3X.

In 2016, researchers at McGill University in Canada discovered that young women who have regular S3X have a better memory than their less sexually active counterparts.
