As it is seen, ejaculation can be used as a potential treatment of nasal congestion because its emission phase provides a sympathetic stimulation and subsequent vasoconstriction and nasal decongestion.

It can be done time-to-time to alleviate the congestion and the patient can adjust the number of intercourses or masturbations depending on the severity of the symptoms.Keep it in mind next time someone with a head cold asks you for a tissue.

what do you think? Medicine IgNobel?
That thought crossed my mind. Right now it's just a hypothesis - I think we'd need some data first (and no, my 30 cold-free years don't count).
Aparently congestion can be measured by leaning forward for 10-15 min and measuring the volume of secretion that drips out...
Something that can easily be done. Perhaps we should add it to the pile of bayblab experiment along with bowling drunk, evaporating ethanol and fermenting a pumpkin...
