Transcript of the segment
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: New York Post.
Hank LedgerAs promised: the surprising decongestant is sex.
Hank LedgerGerman researchers had eighteen couples measure their nasal airflow before, immediately after orgasm, and again at thirty minutes, one hour and three hours.
Dale BearmanAirflow rose by two hundred and fourteen millilitres per second right after, and reached two hundred and forty-nine at thirty minutes.
Dale BearmanThe next day the couples used xylometazoline, a standard nasal spray, for comparison.
Hank LedgerReported results say the effect matched the spray for up to an hour, with no prescription needed.
Vera BullockA portable rhinomanometer in the bedroom. That's commitment to data collection, and the rigor required both partners to reach the finish line.
Dale BearmanBoth partners. Eighteen couples. Think of the scheduling.
Hank LedgerSomewhere a pharmacist is rereading the word over-the-counter.
