Botox affects sex life
The facial feedback hypothesis says that people who have undergone botulinum toxin treatment suffer less depression but also experience less intense orgasms. Ugh.
The muscles in our face, there are 57 of which 28 serve for facial expressions, give expression to our emotions. It works the other way around, too. The muscle tension itself also affects our emotions. So you can say that the two, the muscles and our emotions, interact. The facial feedback hypothesis states that our facial expression is not only an expression of how we feel (I am negative, so I frown), but it also works the other way around (I frown, so I become negative).
Botulinum toxin reduces muscle tension
Wrinkles form most quickly in the areas where the muscles under the skin provide the most tension; around the eyes and on the forehead. With botulinum toxin treatment, we weaken the muscle tension, reducing wrinkle formation. The dosage and place where the botulinum toxin is injected then determines to what extent the muscle tension decreases.
No Frozen Face at Ivy
At Ivy Clinics, we specialize in botulinum toxin treatments where we achieve beautiful results without taking away the full expression. You’ve probably seen a “frozen Botox face” come by. Yes, without wrinkles, but very unnatural. Apart from that, the that too much botulinum toxin could affect the quality of your sex life.
Proud sex face
Psychologist Michael Lewis of Cardiff University says the following about it: !When we are excited or have an orgasm, we make a certain face to go with it. During the plateau phase, the phase before orgasm, we tighten our frown lines. And also during orgasm, we use the facial muscles that people often have treated with botulinum toxin.“Too much botulinum toxin would diminish sexual feelings and the subjects in his study had more difficulty reaching orgasm and the orgasms they had were less satisfying.” You may not be proud of your “sex face,” but it does give you more pleasure between the sheets. Aldus Lewis.
