Newsweek Lists 6 Reasons For Weekly Sex
From Newsweek
By Temma Ehrenfeld
Sex is good for adults. Indulging on a regular basis—at least once a week—is even better. Research links sex (with all safer-sex precautions taken) to an astonishing array of physiological benefits, from longevity to pain relief. Many studies don't address whether the health bonus comes from the act itself or from the corresponding emotional intimacy, but the bottom line is that getting physical has some great side effects—especially for women. Here are six ways that sex boosts your health:
1. It Fights Colds and Flu.
2. It's a Beauty Treatment.
3. It Burns Calories
4. Yes, Honey, I Have a Headache.
5. It Promotes Regular Menstrual Cycles.
6. It Can Prevent Accidents.
Tango’s Take
All right, Newsweek. It feels like it’s been a slow couple of decades since you got a mention in that Paul Simon song “Me And Julio Down By The School Yard.”
The list of six reasons why sex is awesome for you is pretty compelling. It increases antibodies, burns some fat, makes you look younger, can cure headaches through endorphins, promotes regular menstruation, and prevents accidents.
On the fat one, they mention that 4 calories are burned each minute, and that a half hour of boning can burn the equivalent of four Hershey’s Kisses. A) Has anyone except Sting ever actually done it that long? Seriously, 30 minutes? B) Four Kisses? Are they joking? What about all the oysters (and beer) that it took to get someone in the mood?
And, by accidents they mean pee problems not car accidents. Our only guess was that someone who gets regular sex would probably be masturbating in their car less often and would be less prone to crashing. Whew.
Discussion
Research I've seen states that a healthy sex life should include AT LEAST three occassions a week for sexual intimacy !! Once a week is barely hangin on.
Thanks for the comments, guys. Let's get them a little more relevant or at least funny in the future. And we think the Dish is about as funny as Best Week Ever, it's too hard to compare to the Murphy brothers.
I think this Tom Miller is a real bozo. Some of this is kind of funny. I would say less funny than Eddie Murphy but more funny than Charlie Murphy.
It would be surprising if Tom Miller gets any regular sex given his boring comments and lack of knowledge about most things he writes on in this column
you've got to be kidding about 30 minutes being a long time. if it doesn't last at least an hour it's not worth doing.
Everyweek? I'm 40 and want it every chance I get. I'm sure this guy has good research and is smart but really? And as far as the 4 kisses go, sheesh I use those on his body for forplay.
Tom Miller obviously does not take Ginseng - 30 minutes of boning is just enough to get my lady in the mood to start the REAL boning. Here's another reason for weekly sex - it feels good to break one off in some floozy.
