Sex is Good for Your Health
Studies have shown that sex is good for your health. Lower blood pressure and less stress is just two benefits.
There is evidence that happily married couples tend to live long healthier lives than singles. They have lower blood pressure levels and less stress. Since sex is part of the glue that holds couples together it makes sense that sex can prolong your life by keeping your marriage in good shape. Of course, sex alone can’t hold a marriage together. It takes work and compromise to make it work but if you are still having sex after years of marriage something is working in your favor. If your sex life has evaporated then it’s time to turn your relationship around. Plan a date night once a week. Pretend you are meeting for the first time. Talk about books, art, places you enjoy going, and movies you would like to see. Open doors for her and bring her flowers. Leave all the problems and disagreements at home. Gradually get to know each other again. If this doesn’t work then it is time to consult a counselor.
If you are a single man or woman and look to get back into the social groove a few dating tips may be of help to you in finding that right person.
1. Look for common interest and qualities that fit your life style.
2. Don’t talk about Former Spouses or Significant Others.
3. Be an interesting person. Read, do, and think.
4. If you are uncomfortable in any way, exit the situation.
5. Pay attention to deeper, personality- oriented qualities as opposed to superficial ones like “chunky” or “bald.”
6. Be fun to be with.
7. Don’t try to fix someone to your expectations. It never works.
8. Be open to possibilities, be honest, be yourself.
You can meet new people at many ordinary places such as;
1. Book clubs, Bikers Clubs, Religious Groups,
2. Volunteer groups in places such as hospitals, and libraries.
3. Attend real estate open houses, lectures at universities, or art galleries.
4. Enroll in courses such as continuing education, cooking, computer, or drawing.
5. Go where people gather, such as the library, park, shopping mall, movies, or pool.
6. Take free or inexpensive dance lessons from square dance or country western clubs or ball room studios.
Hundreds of thousands of friendships and romances have been forged on Cyberspace with out ever leaving home. Online not only makes you easy to find but it gives you the opportunity to get to know someone first before a phone call or a face-to-face meeting. Two popular dating sites are; www.match.com and www.eHarmony,com. There is no excuse not to meet someone who is waiting to meet someone just like you. So get out there and find that someone.

Isn’t it good to know that something enjoyable is good for us. It seems that lately everything good is bad for our health. Thank goodness there are still a few exceptions. Thanks to you all for stopping by and leaving comments. Take care, Ruby
Mark Gordon, I hope it works.

they say,it’s the second best exercise after swimming

Ruby, this is an excellent article on sex and what is good for us. I think that some of us already knew that it was and others probably just hoped it somebody would prove that it is. I had heard that it is. Even if it wasn’t I like it, and never want to give it up.
As for Nobert’s comment about it being the second best exercise that may be, but it is definitely the most enjoyable one that I know of. Much more enjoyable than swimming was even when I was a kid.
Great work!

This article makes me think. Mainly, about all the people my age who walk around with a severe aversion to romance and in extreme cases even sex (the commitment-phobes, in other words). What must the long-term health effects be?
No good ones, apparently.
Awesome article!
