Sex for longevity

From Forbes.com: Fans of abstinence had better be sitting down. "Saving yourself" before the big game, the big business deal, the big hoedown or the big bakeoff may indeed confer some moral benefit. But corporeally it does absolutely zip. There's no evidence it sharpens your competitive edge. The best that modern science can say for sexual abstinence is that it's harmless when practiced in moderation. Having regular and enthusiastic sex, by contrast, confers a host of measurable physiological advantages, be you male or female.

In one of the most credible studies correlating overall health with sexual frequency, Queens University in Belfast tracked the mortality of about 1,000 middle-aged men over the course of a decade. The study was designed to compare persons of comparable circumstances, age and health. Its findings, published in 1997 in the British Medical Journal, were that men who reported the highest frequency of orgasm enjoyed a death rate half that of the laggards.

WOW! half the death rate! That's astounding to me. I'm going to run home and have sex right now! Some of the other benefits regular sex gives us are...

Improved sense of smell
Reduced risk of heart disease
Weight loss, overall fitness
Reduced depression
Pain-relief
Less-frequent colds and flu
Better bladder control
Better teeth
A happier prostate


But is there such a thing as too much sex?

The answer, in purely physiological terms, is this: If you're female, probably not. If you're male? You betcha. (Sorry guys but it seems you can hurt your penis if you go at it too long for too hard!)

Dr. Claire Bailey of the University of Bristol says there is little or no risk of a woman's overdosing on sex. In fact, she says, regular sessions can not only firm a woman's tummy and buttocks but also improve her posture.

Orgasms AND firmer buttocks? Hallelujah!!

So go home and fuck like rabbits people...you'll feel better, look better, live longer and be happier while you do it. Isn't Mother Nature wonderful?

Will this get me fired?

What if we start with the idea that sex is good, bodies are beautiful and exhibitionism is a wonderfully exuberant way to celebrate life, love and the pursuit of pleasure?

Great article from Regina Lynn of Wired's Sex Drive on the dangers of exposing yourself online when your bosses are out there looking too. Companies need to draw a line between your job performance and your perfectly legal, away-from-the-office sexual activities, online or otherwise. We couldn't agree more. Lynn sums it up in a great line...

If sexual expression disqualified us from our jobs, there wouldn't be anyone left to do the work.

Read the whole article.

And don't forget to get your sex toys for the weekend!

AussieBum takes the U.S. by storm

Take heed all you package-challenged men. Help for your figure is on the way. We gals have always had the advantage when it comes to shape-enhancing undergarments (think push-up bras). Now, thanks to those wacky Australians, men who might be a little lacking in their pouch-filling prowess can get a "lift" with AussieBum's line of crotch-enhancing briefs and swimsuits and their built-in "Wonderjock" technology.

No more embarrasing moments at the beach when children point and snicker at your flat front, fellas. Now you can walk proud, head up, crotch-forward and bulging with manhood. Ewan MacGregor is apparently a huge fan, having ordered thousands worth, and American men are buying them like mad. So it's bye-bye board shorts, this summer, we can look forward to having our beaches crowded with prominent "protrusions" like the one on our friend here. Let's just hope they all look like him and not Danny Devito. (no offense Danny!)

Sex-toy ban goes to Supreme Court

Associated Press: The owner of adult stores in Alabama asked the Supreme Court on Monday to throw out a state ban on selling sex toys, calling it an unconstitutional intrusion into the bedroom. If the court declines to take the case -- as it did in 2005 -- Alabama residents shopping for sexual novelties could soon have to look outside the state's borders.

"A person should have the right to make their own decision to explore their sexual boundaries outside what some government official says is moral," Sherri Williams said outside the Supreme Court before filing the appeal. Williams has waged a mostly losing battle against the law since the state legislature passed it in 1998.

The Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dealt her the latest setback on Valentine's Day, upholding the ban as constitutional and saying "the state's interest in preserving and promoting public morality provides a rational basis for the challenged statute." The state has held off on enforcing the law as the case winds through the appeals process.

Alabama is one of a handful of states, including Texas and Georgia, with laws restricting sales of sex toys. The Alabama "anti-obscenity" law bans the sale of sex toys but not their possession.

Of course, this would be a non-issue if people stopped voting for the hypocritical politicians who write and enact these ridiculous laws. The right-wing so often trumpets their belief in "personal responsiblity" and "limited government" but seems to see nothing wrong with the government telling you what you can and cannot do in the privacy of your own bedroom. Time for a change don't you think?

National Masturbation Month

We all know that sexual pleasure is a person's right and that self-pleasure is a powerful source of both sexual and psychological gratification. National Masturbation Month is a month-long celebration recognizing the many different ways we can pleasure ourselves.



This year people all over the US (and the world!) will celebrate the tenth annual Masturbate-A-Thon, raising funds for worthy community-based organizations that focus on women's health, safer sex, HIV education, and other sex-positive causes.



Most Masturbate-a-Thon celebrations take place privately, the way most masturbation does. But The Center for Sex & Culture will be holding their own masturbate-a-thon, LIVE, on Saturday, May 26.
