    I came into an intriguing article a few days ago, claiming that sex a day prolongs your life, it is as good as a workout in a gim.

    Would you believe this article or what?

    Do you think that by having a joy-ride on bed keeps you healthy?

    Think about the calories you burn. I think it would qualify as good cardiovascular activity.

    here are some interesting facts about sex

    1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shiny and skin smooth.
    >
    &gt;2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/sweat.gif" alt="" /> produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.
    &gt;
    &gt;3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.
    &gt;
    &gt;4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps or running, and you don't need special sneakers!
    &gt;
    &gt;5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases the body endorphin into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.
    &gt;
    &gt;6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!
    &gt;
    &gt;7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.
    &gt;
    &gt;8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.
    &gt;
    &gt;9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.
    &gt;
    &gt;10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a national antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

    <i>9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.

    I guess "I have a headache" is no longer an excuse that a woman can use because then the an can always say "Well, I know EXACTLY what will cure it!" <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

    1-Kissing revs up production of saliva, which helps wash away bacteria and break down gum-damaging plaque.
    2-Locking lips may release mood-elevating endrophins, which help ward off bad moods and depression.
    3-A make-out session may boost your immune system. Often when you recive germs from someone, your body responds by strenthining its internal defense system.
    4-Smooching short-circuits stress. Stress saps your body's ability to resist an infection, like the common cold, so anything that combats it is beneficial.
    5-A steamy kissing session exercises the underlying muscles of your face, keeping them toned.

    and that's only about kissing!!

    Serotonin?

    That's why you feel good...after. Like the surge of energy and good feeling, after a workout. Chemicals are released which do the trick. And their release is beneficial.
    The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.

    I believe sex is good for the heart but then again we are talking about health so we need to do it the right way.
    so for those who find it a stressful experience it will cause problems.
    for example men who are afraid of not performing well. or ladys who fear they will not please their partners.
    so its how you do it and why you do it.

    I think its bad for the knees when you are losing fluids and not replacing it.
    let that be in Semen or <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/sweat.gif" alt="" />.

    what happens after Sex is a very intrstn interaction between physilogy and psychology.

    after sex or lets say after men ejaculate. they would want to rest and their mind start thinking of weird things like I need to wash my car or I have to finish that report.

    what the mind is doing is that its giving the body the time to relax and regain its powers.
    You also feel hungry coz the lost Energy needs to be replaced.

    as for the women they usually need to be hugged afterwards while it was reported some women dont want to be touched.

    In a study published few months back it was said that looking at women breast 10 minutes/day reduces the chances of heart attacks.

    Its either true or the Researcher was tryng to find and excuse.
    It might be true thu coz men automatically turn their eyes to the breast this could be a preventitive measure learnt by the ancestors and it was passed to their offspring.

    anyways you could stair for 10 minutes to improve the cardiovascular acttivity but your face might face serious consequences because of all the slapping youll be getting everyday.

    "but bad for the knees"

    I think this has to do with a particular sex position.

    Depends what is ur gender really.



    This information was sent to me by email. 2 years ago I think caliming that a certain Dr weatherby or smthn conducted a study on 200 men and found out that 10 mins of ogling = 30 mins of aerobics.



    now if you are a female youd think :stupid nonsense.

    if you are male ud think: that explains everything.

    LOL



    yes its a hoax and many ppl believed it without investigating.



    The hoax:



    "This is not a joke. It came from the "New England Journal of Medicine".

    Great news for girl watchers: Ogling over women's breasts is good for a man's health and can add years to his life, medical experts have discovered. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out" declared gerontologist Dr. Karen Weatherby.



    Dr. Weatherby and fellow researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, reached the startling conclusion after comparing the health of 200 male outpatients - half of whom were instructed to look at busty females daily, the other half told to refrain from doing so. The study revealed that after five years, the chest-watchers had lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and fewer instances of coronary artery disease.



    "Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation," explains Dr. Weatherby. "There's no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthier." "Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years."

    the study doesnt exist in new England medical journal nor the Doctor Weatherby
