16 Reasons To Have Daily Sex

16 Reasons To Have Daily Sex

THE MIND UNLEASHED

Stressed, burdened with life’s difficult problems and fear that your health is declining? Then sex is the answer to happiness, longevity and a healthy body. You don’t agree?

1. De-stress
Sex helps you reduce stress. When deep breathing exercises fail to de-stress you, sex will do the needful.

During sex your body produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka “happiness hormones” and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.

In a study, published in the Public Library of Science journal, three neuroscience researchers conducted a test on male rats and found that the sexually active rats were less anxious than rats with no sexual activity.

2. Great Form of Exercise
Making love is a form of physical activity. During intercourse, the physiological changes in your body are consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the respiratory rate rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex three times a week for 15 minutes (but we know you can do better than that) you’ll burn about 7.500 calories in a year. That’s the equivalent of jogging 75 miles! Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.

3. Lowers high blood pressure
Hugs and sex can improve your blood pressure. Sex reduces diastolic blood pressure, that is, the bottom number while reading blood pressure.

Researchers with the University of Paisley conducted an experiment on the same. They concluded that sex improves blood pressure.

4. Builds your immunity
Trying to fight the sniffles? Sex is the answer to fight cold and other health problems; sex can boost your immunity.

Immunoglobulin A, an antigen that fights the flu increases when the frequency of sex increases.

5. Makes You Look Younger
Making love three times a week can make you look 10 years younger, claims a Scottish researcher. “It’s good for you to have good sex,” says David Weeks, a clinical neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, whose study on the effects of sex on aging appears in his book, Secrets of the Superyoung.

6. Healthy heart
Sex helps you burn calories but it can also improve your heart. Sex will take care of stroke and heart attacks, you just have to enjoy the moment.

Scientists with New England Research Institute examined the effect of sex on the heart. The study concluded that men are 45 percent less likely to experience cardiovascular diseases. But the study fails to study the effect of sex on a woman’s heart.

7. Pain relief
Pleasure is the measure to beat out the pain. Do you experience migraines and body pain? Well sex is the answer. But if you experience back pain, it is best to consult a doctor.

Dr. George E. Erlich, an arthritis specialist from Philadelphia conducted a study on the link between arthritis and sex. He narrows down that patients who engaged in sex experienced less pain.

8. Builds trust and intimacy
The act of sex spikes the hormone oxytocin; this hormone is responsible for your happiness and love. If your feel your relationship is falling out, there is trust or you’re worried that your partner will stray away, then sex will dispel these doubts. The hormone oxytocin builds trust and brings couples closer, and cupid too.

9. Less chances of cancer
Regular ejaculation reduces your chances of developing prostate cancer. In an Australian study men who ejaculated 21 times a month were least likely to develop cancer. It is further supported by other researches that sexual intercourse reduces the risk of prostrate cancer.

10. Stronger pelvic muscles
Sex involves the use of several muscles; hence regular sexual intercourse can help you develop stronger pelvic muscles. Further, since the act of sex involves a range of muscles, it also helps strengthen these muscles – for ex: quads, your core, and the upper back. Through regular sex, you can also maintain a strong bladder and bowel function.

Strong muscles, calorie burner, improves heart health – sex seems to take care of you.

11. Prostate Protection 
Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular ejaculation will wash those fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age. Problems may also occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.

12. Induces sleep
After that great, lovely workout you are bound to get good sleep. But guess what? Sex works the same way as exercise. The increased heart rate leads to increased post-coital relaxation. Sex could be the next thing for insomniacs! So what really happens:
- Sex can relax you, hence if you are already tired, the act of sex will induce sleep.
- When men ejaculate they become lethargic, this can make them sleepy.

13. Regular periods
Apparently sex can improve your menstrual cycle. Sex regulates hormones, which in turn regulate the menstrual cycle. Sex reduces stress, which is one of the reasons women miss their periods. Sex seems like a better option than pills.

14. Prevents Erectile Dysfunctions
Fifty per cent of men older than 40 suffer from erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they won’t be able to get it up any more. The best medicine against impotence is…sex. An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile arteries, so the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic reflex: the more you train the more capable you are to perform.

15. Live longer
A healthy heart, stronger muscles, increased circulation of oxygen and happiness are some of the factors that add life to the years and as a result – years to your life.

A study published in the British Medical Journal reveals that men who engaged in sex often live twice as those who rarely had any action.

16. Healthier semen
If you’re trying to conceive, you increase the volume of semen if you have sex regularly. Regular sex replaces old sperms from the testicles. If there is a natural build of sperms it can lead to DNA damage.

8 Things women just don't do anymore (that they should!)

There was a time when a women was a time when a woman's greatest duty and achievement was taking care of her man. The women of the 2003 movieMona Lisa Smile were a great example of what women were essentially bred to do. They went to college, but they didn't really plan on using their degrees (or even graduating in some cases). The plan was to get married as soon as possible and put those Home Ec skills to good use!

But today's breed of women is certainly a different one. Many historical events have lead to the evolution of the female role and Suzy Homemaker is now Ms. Independent. But just because certain "old-fashioned" ways have been phased out, doesn't mean they should be completely retired. You can still have your career and your own mind and what not, but maybe there are a few things that women just don't do anymore, that they should!

Cook

Some women these days don't cook! Back in the day, every woman had to take home economics. It was mandatory. It pretty much taught you how to be a wife. You learned how to cook, clean, sew, polish silver, host a dinner party, and help your man get a promotion! Nowadays, women only know how to cook if someone took the time to teach them how to cook. But if you're 20-something (or older) and still don't know how to cook, you better get started on some Pinterest meals! Start with the easy stuff and work your way up. You at least need to know how to make two or three meals for your man that he will love. 

Clean

Some people are slobs and some are neat freaks and some are somewhere in between. But a lot of women don't really know how to "keep house". A lot of people nowadays didn't even have chores growing up. But even the ones who did have chores growing up feel like they're "grown" now and don't have to do that anymore. Well you do! And while your husband/boyfriend should be able to pick up after himself, as the woman of the house, you should be able to maintain a clean house. 

Fix his plate

Women across the country at cookouts and family reunions and holidays can now be heard saying "He can fix his own plate... Ain't nothin' wrong with his legs..." (with an eye roll). That is not right ladies! You should honor your man by fixing his plate. You don't necessarily have to do it every single time he eats (because seriously, there's nothing wrong with his legs), but at least do it when you are in public as a sign of respect. And no, it's not demeaning. Have a servant's heart. Respect and honor him and he should return the favor. 

Watch your mouth

Women these days curse way too much! It used to be illegal to curse in public (it technically still may be in some places). And "a lady" didn't curse. Nowadays, we're all just calling each other b*****s and h**s like it's no big deal - like it's a compliment! And some women curse like a sailor. That is just not attractive. Try to refrain from cursing, especially in certain situations - like maybe church, class, in front of his new boss, etc. Have some class!

Dish out compliments

Women of the 1950s TV sitcoms were quick to compliment their man. But nowadays women just want to soak up all the compliments. But the truth is, it should go both ways. If anything, men should receive way more compliments than women because they are way more sensitive and insecure than they let on. Try to increase the number of compliments you dish out each day. Whatever you're doing now, it's probably not enough. 

Keep yourself up

Women used to really focus on "keeping themselves up" and always "looking presentable". Always. At all times. There was no walking out in public with your hair wrapped or in curlers. And there definitely was no being seen in public in sweats (or the 1950s equivalent). Nowadays, women are so comfortable and lax that they'll just go out looking any kind of way and don't really invest effort in maintaining their bodies in general. Work out. Eat healthy. Look presentable. Take care of yourself. You are a reflection of your man. Make him look good!

Dress up for dates

Just because you've been in a relationship for awhile now doesn't mean you don't have to take the time to look nice when you go out together. Date night should be just as exciting as a first date! Women used to put forth just as much effort regardless of if it was a new suitor or her husband of twenty years. Keep doing what you did to get him to keep him! He will definitely notice and appreciate the extra effort. 

Anticipate his needs

You should be so in tune with your man that you know what he's thinking before he thinks it. You should know what he wants and needs before he even asks. Women used to be on point when it came to this one! They would have a cold beer waiting, a cigar, and dinner on the table. She would take his hat and coat before he could even get in the door good! But now, women tend to ignore the signs and just wait on him to ask (and then complain about it!). Don't do that. Try to anticipate his wants and needs. Be that help meet that he needs. As his woman, you should make him better. 

When And Why A Woman Sleeps With A Man

When And Why A Woman Sleeps With A Man

Men work so hard to discover formulas that will get women to sleep with them. They have all of their tricks—their lines—and they think they’ve got it figured out. But in reality, if a woman sleeps with a man, it’s probably for one of these reasons: - See more at: http://madamenoire.com/120225/when-and-why-a-woman-sleeps-with-a-man/#sthash.2cojujAA.dpuf

He’s sweet and he deserves sex

 It’s like the high school cheerleader that slept with the band nerd. Or the sorority girl who slept with the “alternative” guy who wasn’t in the Greek system. Sometimes, a woman just sees that a guy is a sweet, good person who deserves to have some good sex. And, she knows he will be psyched to get to have it with her because she is way out of his league. And for a woman, it can feel good to be that wanted sometimes.

She needs to cut loose

 She is on vacation. She leads too rigid of a life. She is tired of having to stick to the “plan.” The plan of making him wait X amount of time so he respects her. The plan of only sleeping with men she plans on having a relationship with. A lot of sexual frustration can get pent up living a life like that and sometimes, a woman just needs to cut loose and invite the cute foreign guy from the club home for the night.

She just got screwed over

 She had a boyfriend who she had given her all to. She was devoted to him. She treated him like a king. And he cheated on her. Or just told her one day “I’m in love with someone else.” And she realizes he has been having his fun all along—he was getting to have his cake and eat it too. And now she is ready to eat some cake. She deserves it after sitting around waiting at home for that ahole.

She’s drunk & the date went well

 Sometimes, she just gets caught up in the moment. The chemistry has been there since the first second of the date. The conversation has been incredible. The guy took her to the most amazing restaurant. There has already been a ton of kissing, cuddling and….drinking on the date. It just seems natural to go to bed with a guy at this point.

She’s waited “long enough”

 Some women know they are hyper sexual beings. They have made the mistake of sleeping with a guy on the first date too many times so they finally set up a rule for themselves: no sex until date #X. But, as soon as that number comes along, they are so ready to reward themselves for waiting.

He’s waited “long enough”

Some women have rules. They believe that the only way to truly know if a man likes them is to make him wait 3 months, 6 months, 9 months…to have sex. If they sleep with him before this, they are forever nervous after that that he only likes them for the sex.

You’ve been friends for a while

 If a woman has been friends with a guy for a long time and then suddenly, one night her feelings take a turn for the more corporeal, she might just sleep with him on the spot. She won’t necessarily ask him on a date, or just tell him she likes him. She might just grab him, kiss him, and steer her towards the bedroom. Since he has been her friend, she already knows he likes and respects her, so she doesn’t feel the need to make him jump through the dating hoops.

Seven Things You Should Never Tell Your Man…

Seven Things You Should Never Tell Your Man…

Ladies, I know trust is the number one thing in relationships and that open and honest communication is needed to have a successful and meaningful one. While this may hold true in the overall sense of love and happiness there are times when honesty isn’t always the best practice. Let’s be real, men cannot handle sticky situations like we do. They are a lot more sensitive than women when it comes to bruising their ego and they often have a difficult time being phony or straight faced when it comes to pretending they don’t know the truth about something or someone. This is why it’s important for you to know what not to tell your man, no matter how much you love him. Grab a pen and paper and take notes.. - See more at: http://madamenoire.com/63645/seven-things-you-should-never-tell-your-man/#sthash.aSUlp8By.dpuf

1)      The real reason you broke up with your ex He really doesn’t need to know why you broke up with your ex-boyfriend. I know us ladies have a bad habit of telling too much when it comes to our past relationships. Your man does not need to know your last boyfriend cheated on you or that you cheated on him. Just say it didn’t work it out.

2)       Your friends business Ladies, I can’t tell you how many times we fall into this trap of getting so close to our man that we start to share the juicy gossip stories about our friends. This is never a good idea. Men are hardwired to only hear the facts so they are not going to understand that your girl Susie is painting the town red with every eligible bachelor because she is trying to take her mind off of her breakup heartache. He is only going to conclude that your friend is ‘loose’. Plus men often times have a bad memory and forget that what you told him was a secret and may ask your friend “how is your xyz going”.

3)       I mentioned before, men are very sensitive especially when they are trying to please you. If he buys you a gift that you absolutely hate -fake it! Tell him that you love it and you appreciate his thoughtfulness. I know this may be hard to do with a smile but trust me it will be worth it in the long run.

4)      Confess that you lied I know this sounds contradicting, but under no circumstances should you confess that you lied about something. It will only make you look bad and the situation worse. Men want to believe that everything that comes out of their woman’s mouth is the sweet honest truth. Let’s please keep it that way.

5)      His friends are losers You’re probably right if you think his boys are 100% losers. But those are his boys for a reason and if they are indeed no good in due time he will figure it out and realize he’s out grown them.

6)      How you really feel about his mother I should have made this point number one. Never, ever, ever tell your man what you really think about his mother. His mother just may be conniving, manipulative, sneaky or whatever but his mother is second to God (maybe before) in his life. So no matter how real you want to keep it, never keep that part real.

7)      Who you ‘broke off’ on your ‘break up’ Sometimes couples break up and then get back together a few months later with this notion of putting everything on the table to start fresh. While this is great news there are something’s that should be kept in your back pocket like who you had a few rendezvous with while you were living the single life. All your man needs to know is that you spent your time reflecting on what went wrong in the relationship and getting to know yourself. He shouldn’t know you were getting to know Mike and Larry too.

Common Ways Women Misunderstand Men

Common Ways Women Misunderstand Men

Women are great at couching things. We are great at dishing out the worst insult, in the sweetest way so that the receiver barely knows whether to smack us or thank us. We don’t like to be mean. Most importantly, we decide what to do and say based on what we want the overall outcome to be. We women don’t always speak from our gut, but from our heads, thinking “how will this affect things in the long run?” Men are a little more reactive. They aren’t as good at covering up the expression that just swept across their face, or coming up with a nicer way to say something. And more often than not, women take it the wrong way: - See more at: http://madamenoire.com/94363/common-ways-women-misunderstand-men/#sthash.ZLloGXyS.dpuf

What does “I don’t know” mean anyway?

 When a woman says “I don’t know” it often means “no I don’t want to do that” “no I don’t love you” “no I did not orgasm.” “No” is too harsh for us, so we say “I don’t know” instead. So when men say it, we think it’s game over. No he doesn’t love us. No he doesn’t want to go do that with us. No he didn’t orgasm. But, usually, when a man says “I don’t know” he really just doesn’t know, and doesn’t want to jump to giving an answer yet.

Silence after sweetness

This is similar to the “I don’t know” misunderstanding. You tell your man you are so excited to spend a whole two weeks alone, just the two of you, on vacation. You tell your man you have never loved someone as much as you love him. You tell him you feel like he fits into your family perfectly. And he says…nothing. He smiles. He nods. Women often read this as very cruel—as the guy passively saying that he feels the exact opposite way. The truth is, he may just not feel whole heartedly the exact same way, and he knows what a dumb*ss he looks like when he tries to fake enthusiasm. He doesn’t feel 100% the opposite as you do, but he doesn’t feel 100% the same. So he says nothing.

Not in the mood

 It’s really not true that guys are always in the mood to have sex. But, because we are told this, women often think that a guy is just not into us, or that we did something that put a guy off, if he doesn’t want to have sex. But, I have had plenty of exes have their one off night when they said they just weren’t in the mood, but they still wanted to cuddle the hell out of me and tell me how crazy they were about me. Men’s libidos dip sometimes, just like women’s. Doesn’t mean they are repulsed by you.

Criticizing your family or friends

 Women like to be supported. They like their men to have their back. So, sometimes, in a misguided attempt, your man will make a snide remark about a friend that you have been complaining about lately, or even say something critical about your mother if the two of you have been bumping heads. He is trying to show he is on your side, but the rule stands the same for every family; “nobody makes fun of my family but me.” So, we can get offended when he is just trying to be supportive.

Taking time out

 Not everyone needs to hash things out in a fight right then and there. Some people need time to think. Men will often bolt early on in a fight, saying they don’t want to talk about it, or need to be alone. And women read this as them just not caring. When really, even if they seem pissed or indifferent at first, usually they go off and think about the fight and how to resolve it.

Needing alone time

 For whatever reason, men tend to need time away from the relationship more than woman do. Be realistic and ask yourself how often you hear your female friends complaining that their boyfriends don’t call enough, don’t plan dates for them enough, and just aren’t there as much as she they wish they were. Women are better at coupling up. So, if we tell a guy that we need “alone time” or “space,” that is usually the beginning of the end. If a guy says it, he might just need some alone time, and when he returns from it, he will feel just as strongly about you as he did before.

Simple Ways You Can Be Sexier To Him

Simple Ways You Can Be Sexier To Him

Men are simple creatures and when it comes to getting sexay for them, putting in too much effort can only intimidate them, and make them feel they have to rise to some challenge. The sexiest things you do, you do naturally. Like this - See more at: http://madamenoire.com/275638/simple-ways-you-can-be-sexier-to-him/#sthash.HCADV21Q.dpuf

1. Pick an outfit out in front of him

 While men may not have the fashion vocabulary to talk to you about your new outfits, they love when you simply get dressed in front of them—putting on different tops, cocking your head to the side, turning around to get a rear view. Watching you analyze your own beauty is a turn on for men.

2. Boast about yourself

 Being cocky is never attractive, but having confidence always is. If you really worked hard to earn something or achieve something, men love it when you allow yourself to enjoy that and take pride in it.

 

3. Wear your hair up

 Men love your neckline. The tight, formal up-dos intimidate them. But they love that moment when you’re quickly tossing your hair into a bun before bed, or while washing your face.

4. Support his passions

 Men are always revved up after seeing their favorite football team play, or going for a ride on their bike, or fishing, or whatever it is they’re into. And they’re even more revved up if you somehow contributed to that happening—maybe by buying them a great new fishing rod, or telling them about a biker convention happening in town. They’re twice as excited if they feel you are too.

5. Tease his quirks

 Nothing makes a person feel seen and understood like having their quirks teased. When your boyfriend is doing something that is just so him, point it out, and kiss him right after. Making him feel loved for being uniquely him is a huge turn on.

6. Cook for him

 Call them old fashioned, but even modern men love a woman who cooks. Even if you’re not the greatest chef in the world, men love the idea of you taking the time to feed them. And they love to watch your hands work with food, and your hips sway in an apron.

7. Do something understated and thoughtful

 If your guy simply mentioned his pillow is too fluffy and he comes home to find you bought him a new one, or he was out of deodorant so you picked some up, he’ll adore you. Realizing you’re paying attention to the details makes a man feel extra safe, and that’s a turn on.

8. Go braless

 Women forget the power of the Areola. Going braless in public might embarrass you and your man, but taking the liberty to let the girls hang loose in the privacy of your home, in a tank top or t-shirt, is something any man would like to see.

9. Do your passion in front of him

 Sculpt in front of him, teach your yoga class in your home, play the piano. Your talent and your passion excite your man. Plus men love to see the other sides of you, besides just “girlfriend.”

10. Make him laugh

 If you can make him laugh, that’s a major plus. If you can make his friends laugh, he can’t wait to take you to bed. Men agree everywhere that a humorous woman is a sexay woman.

11. Hit on him at an unexpected time

 Next time he’s simply perusing cereal while you’re out shopping, come up close behind him and whisper in his ear how fine he is. Half the enjoyment of sex is the anticipation, and you can get that started much earlier than you think.

12. Hug him tight

 We underestimate the power of a quality hug. Your stomachs touching, your face in his chest, the scent of your hair under his nose. It’s an all-enveloping type of intimacy, and it’s so easy.

13. Smile more

 Even if you’re just cleaning the kitchen, or working on your laptop—take a moment to look up and smile at your man as often as you can. Knowing his presence makes you happy gives him confidence.

14. Help with tough times

 Even though your guy may not be in the mood for sex when he’s going through a particularly trying or traumatic time, he’ll always remember if you made his whole family lunch the day a grandparent died, or did all his chores the week he lost his job. Knowing you’re a pillar of strength makes you ten times as Hot.
