Why I like Sex! Research shows that having sex three times a week for a year burns the same amount of calories as running three marathons. If you're the world's busiest person, a marathon may not be in the cards (yet), but there's no reason you can't find a half hour a few times a week to exorcise your demons with a little erotic exercise (and burn about 200 calories in the process)! Plus, in addition to all the benefits of running, biking, swimming, etc., sex releases hormones like oxytocin (which promotes affectionate feelings and bonding) and testosterone (which strengthens your muscles and benefits your immune system). It reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers mortality rates and actually offers pain relief for everything from migraines to arthritis to PMS. Believe it or not, oral sex even strengthens your teeth (thanks to the minerals in bodily fluids)! In short, getting it on is really good for you. Try it, your body will thank you! [B][/B][B][/B]

My Ideal Person Not only does frequent sex improve your memory (seriously), it helps you sleep better. It reduces depression (especially in women) and calms you down - which can be invaluable after a high-octane day. It lowers feelings of insecurity (fear you can't compete) and decreases irritability (tough boss anyone?). Basically, sex is a stressed out person's dream cure. It not only eases your tension and allows you to rest better, but it also builds up your self-esteem and provides mental clarity. All of the things you need when you're burning the candle at both ends. So... what are you waiting for?
