Sex can stop a cold and diabetes?

I have found an interesting article on the newspaper and I want to share with you guys. However, this article is only for our knowledge and please don't make this article as a reason for you guys in doing sex.

1. Longer life
Sex is associated with good health and a longer life as a survey done by the American Association Of Retired Persons. Almost half of over-50s (44%) described their health as excellent or very good when they had intercourse at least once a week. Having sex in your 50s can slash the risk of prostate cancer. It could be due to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) which floods the body during sex and surges on orgasm.
Bloodstream levels of this hormone are five times higher than normal when sexual pleasure peaks. DHEA has been shown to be beneficial in fighting reduced insulin response and middle-age spread.

2. Blood pressure
In the heat of the hump, sex increases blood pressure but in the long run it reduces it which can decrease the risk of stroke. A study done by Biological Psychology proved that regular sex lowers diastolic blood pressure. Satisfying sex also increases output of the chemical transmitter dopamine, which improves relaxation and counteracts stress hormones associated with hypertension.

3. Combats diabetes
The exercise and calorie burning benefits of sex help reduce Type 2 diabetes risk. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that DHEA improves insulin action. It also combats central obesity.

4. Heart boost
Men who have sex less than once a month are twice as likely to have a fatal heart attack than men who make love at least twice a week. Sun GP Dr Carol Cooper says: “Sex is great for the cardiovascular system but how much you get out depends on how much effort you put in. Because it boosts circulation, sex increases the supply of oxygen to cells and stimulates the activity of various organs and systems within the body. Erectile dysfunction can also indicate cardiovascular problems.

5. Weight control
Sun fitness expert Nicki Waterman says: “Just 30 minutes of sex will burn around 200 calories, so if you have sex five days a week, that’s equivalent to two-and-a-half hours in the gym. For best results, women can hop on top because this will help firm their thighs and tone their belly.” An orgasm can burn 60-100 calories, 30 minutes of snogging will blitz 90 calories. And orgasms release both enkephalins and dopamine. These feel-good body chemicals help to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol which is associated with weight gain, particularly around the tummy. Women lost 10.2 per cent of their abdominal fat and men lost 7.4 per cent.

6. Self-defence
A healthy sex life will help keep colds at bay. Making love raises the levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) which is the frontline of the body’s immune system, according to scientists at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, US.

7. Banishes headaches
IT might be the most tried-and-tested excuse to avoid having sex, but it seems a headache can disappear after you have a good romp. Orgasms release oxytocin and endorphins, natural chemicals which reduce pain.

8. Heal thyself
Oxytocin — known as the bonding chemical is responsible for that warm glow that comes after good sex. It can also help heal wounds. Studies show that high levels of oxytocin damp down inflammation-causing chemicals and speed up healing by as much as 25 per cent.

9. Sleep tight
When oxytoxin is being released by satisfying sex, it acts as nature’s nightcap. Men are the most susceptible to this hormone which is why they generally fall asleep within two-to-five minutes after sex and women take 20-to-25 minutes to nod off.

MONEY

There was a man who worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife."
So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!"
She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket."
"Yes," the wife said, "I promised. I'm a good Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check."

A survey been conducted in Britain through more than 1000 readers completed the risqué questionnaire. A revealing Sun survey has taken away the taboos and discovered that 66 % of women watch porn. Besides, nearly nine out of ten men (88%) view it, while a quarter of them watch it every day. The survey also revealed that 16 per cent of men often use porn as part of foreplay and 77% of men admitted their love of blue movies to their partners.

In addition, this survey also found that a third of all male and female porn watchers are aged between 18 and 25, while 28 per cent of male fans and 22 per cent of females are aged from 26 to 35.

Only 22% of men and 10% of women who watch porn are single. 1% of male porn fans are divorced compared to 2% for women and a further 1% of both sexes are separated from their partners.


For those married or in a relationship, 64% of men watch X-rated films with their partner, while 57% of women share viewing. The survey also found that 46% of men said they would be TURNED ON if they caught their girlfriend or wife secretly watching porn while only 11% would be upset by her having all the fun without them. However, the other 43% would not be bothered either way if they caught their girlfriend looking at these explicit images.

However, for women, they would obviously feel differently about watching adult films in a relationship. From the survey result, 34% of them would be very upset if they caught their partner watching porn. On the other hand, the same number (34%) would not feel turned on or get angry if they found their partners enjoying dirty pictures. But more than a quarter (26%) would get aroused.

For those in a relationship, 77% of men claimed that their partner was fully aware of what they were up to. 65% of women say their partner watches porn without them, while 14% reckoned that their husbands or boyfriends definitely did not look at images of sexy women and a sneaky 15% of men admitted hiding their blue movies from their partner.

However, nearly half of all men questioned (46%) look at porn once or twice a week but 53% of women say they rarely watch porn. 14% of readers say they only watch porn once a month while 15% claim they look at it very rarely.

Besides married and in a relationship, couples also admitted using sexy films to spice up things in the bedroom. Out of the 57% of women who watch porn with a partner, a third regularly use it as part of foreplay, while 41% admit to having watched it several times with their man. Other than that, 64% of men who share viewing, 37% admit having watched it once or twice while 47% have used it several times as a couple.
