Great article!
I've always been having problems with men and relationship, and nothing worked for me.
I thought, I was gonna live all my life with these problems in my dating life until I found the FREE Attract True Love Blog

After I read a book and followed the advice, a miracle happened! :)
I met a man of my dreams and got married right after I finished reading the book. (and he's great!)
I'm so happy now! I finally realized what it takes to have a happy relationship and how easy it is.
I advice everyone to read this
book.

Highly Recommended!!

Gee, Raging... so sorry that you are denying yourself (and your spouse) the full intimacy, joy and pleasure of your sexuality -- including the ability to talk openly and support each other's sexual desires, as well as get factual information about your sexuality. Perhaps you should examine the values that are inhibiting you, whether their source is religious or cultural -- rather than trying to inhibit others who accept and enjoy their sexuality. Perhaps you will choose to remain as you are... but please respect others' right to have different values and make other choices for themselves.

I teasingly told my husband that the lack of sex was why I had a stroke. Well, well...there it is in print. It relieves stress...I am going to ask my Dr. to write me a script:)

For a couple of years my husband and I couldn’t have sex due to his ED. We tried Cialis and Viagra and felt like failures. I didn’t feel sexy and my dh suffered from terrible lack of self esteem. This article shows us all the benefits we were missing – stress relief, confidence, pain relief? Sign me up. Finally we found something to bring us back into the game - https://postvac.com. My husband worked with his Dr. and insurance and received his penis pump. Now we are able to help his heart and slow my aging as often as we like!

"Semen contains zinc, calcium, and other minerals proven to fight tooth decay. (Only trace amounts, but who's counting?) "

Hahahaha! That made me smile!

Great article, all positive reasons. But lets not forget there are those of us that would love to do as the article suggests. We have lost partners and are now searching to find the one to be able to put all those reasons to use again.

The article made an interesting reading. The point is that all the 18 reasons to have sex will not apply for everyone and all the time. For example, I feel so stressed when the lady am in relationship with asked me for sex and after the sex, I feel depressed. But this was not the case with my late beautiful wife who was slim and sexy and I was always aroused to have sex with her. kayobunmi@yahoo.com We were always happy and relaxed having sex together. I still look forward to meeting a lady who will bring back the sex-happy times.

This article is fun and informative to enjoy!! I couldn't stop laughing throughout the reading, from "only 18 reasons?!" to rightg-to-the-point punch lines. Actually, after posting this comment, I'll check out the Men's Health site to see if there's any article equivalent in every way to this one, of course, from men's point of view with the concerns of their "significant other".

Seriously speaking, this article does cover lots of important everyday health issues. However, I've found ONE very different from all other articles/e-newsletters at/from other websites I've read, Prostate Cancer Prevention. It seems that this particular research topic, Ejaculation and Prostate, is relatively new, maybe there's something misinterpreted or mixed up.

The ones I've read all state the same as: The statistics shows men have [More] Frequent Ejaculations before reaching AGE 30 have xx%/xx% LOWER chance of having ENLARGING Prostate later in their lives! And, they all emphasize it's NOT the Prostate Cancer.

Either way, this tells us something "positive" between Ejaculation and Prostate Health, NOT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO ..... [You know what I mean, don't you?!]

This is a fun and great article to read...and let’s be real, sex may not belong everywhere, but in a magazine that discusses a healthy lifestyle, sex should def be a part of it, whether you like it bland or spicy...Coming from a cultural background where sex isn't as taboo as it is here in the states... i.e, don't discuss but subliminally put it everywhere, it's great to get it straight and forward like this...

Keep it up with the great advice.

raging_maenad... I believe this article is geared more towards those who are in a monogomous relationship. In the "happiness" reason, it even mentions marriage. There is nothing wrong with being intimate with your significant other.

By raging_maenad

I realize for those who are choosing to be a little less loose with themselves can simply ignore this article, but can women's health try to not be part of the mass media that shoves sex down our throats? I would expect that from the male gender, not women who are supposed to be supportive in every way. I'm sure there are plenty of health benefits to even kinkier activities, especially since semen apparently provides the body with a good dose of protein. So yes, you can realistically take anything and tack on a side health benefit to it, but your readers are not all part of the sex in the city cast that is DTF, with no problems and no shame. Can we practice discretion for the sake of true women's health? Or should we just throw up the white flag and label this magazine Cosmo 2: Health Benefits Included? There are plenty of more relevant health-related topics to expand on that do not involve sex, so let's try to be a little more innovative here WH.

By guywhodoesn'tca...

here's some advice buddy... this is a website which gives advice on how and why to have a better sex life. not penthouse forum for toddlers. nobody cares about your obviously non-existent sex life. if you were getting as often as you claim, you wouldn't give a rat's ass about sharing it with the world as you would be too busy screwing to tell the whole world.
my advice is that you shut the hell up and pray to god that your "girlfriend" doesn't read your stupid comment and dump your dumb ass.

You can go deeper, now, how about calling it love and mention bonding on the super natural level.

By always ready

Just because we love it,,My girlfriend and I have Intercorse every time we are together and thats alot we have been known to have it every day for months at a time.
The thing is that the more you have it the more Interesting and better it becomes,we also communicate about it with each other during love making we talk to each other and ask questions wanta try this wanta do that and we dress up for each other like she will wear sexy pj's or a corset or stockings and she chooses what she wants me to wear and even if its something I wouldnt wear everyday or to work or in publis I wear it because I know she likes to see me in it.
It sure makes love making more fun and I will be 52 in feb.but still last a long time in the sack because we are always in it.
Its like first you crawl then you walk then you run and then you both jog and we can jog a long time.:)

All of these reasons above just made me feel better about having sex all the time. Me and my husband have sex everyday. That must be why we're always happy...=) But good to know it slows aging and prevents cancer.

Funny... I have so much sex as a single women and it definitely helps me... :-) But the two times I lived with a guy they only wanted to do it twice a week, like the first post said below. Weird!

Pee control is a good reason. During sex you clench the same muscle you use to stop the flow of urine. More excercise, more control!

there's no way sex would make me happier than making more money. sex is just a temporary nerve sensation. nothing more, nothing less. there are many, many other ways to acheive every one of those goals above. geez.
