Lets Talk About Sex

Valentines Day is a celebration of love, romance, chocolate, candy, flowers, red, hearts, warmth. Its about friendship and caring. But why am I feeling so horny? Wait a minute: something about the letter V has a sensual connotation. Vigor, vitality, vivacious, viva, virility, velvet, Viagra, Levitra....the list goes on.

Lets cut to the chase: at our evolutionary core, we have to constantly think about "doing it". Call it mating, intercourse, or love-making. We are animals. Preservation and propagation of our DNA is our most important responsibility. Every species procreates to survive so that its future generations can continue to populate the earth. The smartest and fittest will survive.

Healthy sex is all about sharing of emotional closeness through physical interaction. It is a freely chosen, respectful, playful expression of love and generally monogamous. It is healthy when we are conscious of consequences and responsible enough to handle them.

Its health benefits are numerous: from improving the health of your heart, to easing pain, to enhancing mental health, to regulating hormone balance. For women, regular intercourse helps maintain a healthy tissue lining of the vagina. this helps ward off urinary infections and delay the onset of urinary incontinence. For men, it may be important for prostate health. To top it off, marital happiness correlates strongly with frequency of intercourse!

So whether its Valentine' s day or any other day, try to get some action. Its for your own good! Ladies don't assume that its just for your man and you can use it as a carrot or "cut him off" depending on your whim. Do it for yourself. Do it early and often.

Because if you don't use it, you lose it!
