You cant argue with the research
The possible health benefits of sex are spelled out in a soon-to-be-published article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The editor-in-chief of that journal, Dr. Irwin Goldstein, says that when you read about the physical benefits of sex, you cant help but say, Holy God! Sexual activity is a very important thing to do. Human beings were really meant to do this. Goldstein is also the director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego, California.
In the article, which reviews several decades worth of studies on sex and health, researcher Stuart Brody concludes that penile-vaginal intercourse and not other types of sexual activity confer the most health benefits. For example, five years ago, Brody, now a professor of psychology at the University of the West of Scotland, asked 46 people to give a stressful speech to a nasty audience. . . . . The same wasnt true for people whod participated in other forms of sexual activities. Brody says evolution strongly rewards behaviors that increase the likelihood of successful gene propagation, and only one behavior penile-vaginal intercourse is potentially reproductive.

Hubby and I should live to be 200!!! Yeaaaa for us :-)
“My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. Last night she used me to time an egg.”
I did, didn’t I?
One night a man and a woman are both at a bar knocking back a few beers. They start talking and come to realize that they’re both doctors. After about an hour, the man says to the woman, “Hey. How about if we sleep together tonight. No strings attached. It’ll just be one night of fun.” The woman doctor agrees to it.
So they go back to her place and he goes in the bedroom. She goes in the bathroom and starts scrubbing up like she’s about to go into the operating room. She scrubs for a good 10 minutes. Finally she goes in the bedroom and they have sex for an hour or so.
Afterwards, the man says to the woman, “You’re a surgeon, aren’t you?” “Yeah, how did you know?” The man says, “I could tell by the way you scrubbed up before we started.” “Oh, that makes sense”, says the woman. “ You’re an anesthesiologist aren’t you?” “Yeah”, says the man , a bit surprised. “How did you know?” The woman answers, “Because I didn’t feel a thing.”
lol. The wife and I have used a similar line for almost 40 yrs. “Cover me up when you’re through.”
I'll have salt with my fries... lots of salt...
I’d marry you in a heartbeat if I wasn’t married already!
Yikes!
I recall a joke involving President and Mrs. Coolidge.
“You rang?” (w/ picture of Helen)
! I had SUCH a good laugh! Thanks, I needed that! — Much better now, after a long day at work!
I don’t think having sex with her will improve your health.
I don’t think having sex with her will improve your health.
I think the Human Rights Campaign will dispute this and say homosexual and transgendered sex is healthier. This study is discriminatory against gay and lesbian couples.
“Just have more sex!”
Okay. Happy to oblige. ;o)
If only it was that easy...
Trust me...it is.
Of course, I’m married and it’s there for the asking. ;o)
