Awesome! Sex is good for you

Lose weight! Reduce your risk of heart disease! Improve your sense of smell! Want to accomplish all this with one simple exercise? Sure you do -- so go have sex!

That's the story according to British researchers, who say that regular, vigorous sex has a host of physiological advantages. In a study of 1,000 middle-aged men over a ten year period, those with the most orgasms were only half as likely to die when compared to their less sexually active counterparts. A follow-up to this study found that those who had sex twice or more every week reduced their risk of stroke or heart attack by 50%. In addition, researchers discovered that during sex, the body burns as many as 200 calories -- that's a 15 minute jog on the treadmill -- and produces large amounts of the hormone prolactin, leading to a heightened sense of smell.

Just in case that information, in addition to all the obvious reasons for having sex, isn't good enough for you, hoppin' in the sac on a regular basis can also reduce depression, relieve pain, stave off colds and flu, give you better bladder control, and even lead to better teeth!
