Spring Flings



Did you ever wonder why you get so horny in spring...

Turns out that when the days get longer you have decreased melatonin production by the pineal gland. Melatonin suppresses the release of GNRH which decreases the release of gonadotropins (sex hormones) so if melatonin levels are decreased you get rid of the inhibition placed on your gonadotropins. Amazing!

Sun + Pineal gland = Fun!
