I can honestly say that since I have been out of my last relationship I have put on a few pounds. So the first one is right. lol

5 good reasons eh? I can give you ONE much BETTER reason []

I read an expansion of point 5 a while back. It has to do with the release of adrenaline into your system in such a way that your body apparently gets a lot of long term benefits out of it.

All those reasons to have sex and prostitution is still illegal []

Do you get the benefits from masturbation?

[Ybom]

Anything is possible beavis! However, scientifically oriented I think there are some differences in benefits between the two. Ask your local sexy doctor and she may give you a demonstration [:O]

[holy reality]

damn...

Do masturbation orgasms count?

Beavis, I too am an advocate of prostitution... and if it were legalized they'd get regularly screened for diseases, making it safer.

It's a win win situation... they get money, we lonely people get some.

Legalization of prostitution would probably be much better than trying to stop it. It is going to go on no matter what. If legalized it could be much safer for the women and those who go to them. The best reason in the eyes of the legal system though is, all that money made can be taxed, which I am sure they do not claim as income as of now. The money gathered from the taxes helps all citizens. So everyone would be winners if it were made legal.

I am sure that some of them would still apply. Though the exercise part I kind of doubt, unless you are doing some interesting things.

quote:Do masturbation orgasms count?

Are your orgasms different when you masturbate compared to sex? Or do you know? I have never really noticed a difference as far as the orgasm is concerned. Though there are different kinds of orgasms, but that is up to you and gets into Taoism and Tantric.

There is a quite big difference IMO...  On one hand (pun intended[]), you are on your own.  On the other hand, you exchange/give/take energy with/to/from your partner (if you believe in that)...

5 Reasons Sex is Good For You!
Print this out and share it with your lover!
By Laura Snyder

Better sleep. A sexier physique. Stronger immunity. Sound like the effects of the latest wonder drug? Nope, it's just the many physical benefits of having a satisfying sexual relationship.

And all this time you were just making love because it was fun! If you're looking for more reasons to get romantic, consider the following:

1. You're getting a good workout. Would you rather run 75 miles or have sex three times a week for one year? While both burn the same number of calories (about 7,500), one is decidedly more pleasurable than the other. Regular sex - which burns approximately 150 calories in a half-hour -- is regular exercise. You'll have all the same benefits of spending that time in the gym, including improved circulation, lower cholesterol and the release of feel-good endorphins.

2. You won't get sick. According to research by Dr. Carl Charnetski, professor of psychology at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa and co-author of Feeling Good is Good For You, people who reported one or two sexual episodes per week enjoyed higher levels of Immunoglobin A, the antibody that helps fend of illness.

3. You'll feel happier. In addition to the obvious boost in satisfaction, feeling secure in your relationship leads to a greater sense of well-being. Women in particular may see even more benefits. Researchers at the State University of New York at Albany found that women who regularly came into contact with semen were significantly less depressed than those who didn't get a dose of those potent sex hormones and naturally occurring opiates.

4. You'll reduce stress. People who get it on regularly report that they handle stress better. The release of climax will get even the most anxious lover totally relaxed, and you know you'll sleep better.

5. You'll live longer (and look younger!). A British study of 1,000 men found that those who had at least two orgasms per week had half the death rate of those who indulged less than once a month. Sex can make you look younger, too, according to neuropsychologist David Weeks, who found that men and women who reported having sex an average of four times per week looked approximately 10 years younger than they really were.
