More veggies...I mean...Orgasms please.

Are you guys blushing already!? 

This blog is inspired by a long catch up phone call with my girlfriend in NYC. Yes...yes, we were talking about shhhhh

S.E.X. 

Totally free to talk about mind blowing toe tingling sex with your girlfriend! Its healthy! 

I also did a little research and having orgasms on a regular basis can actually save your life. And unlike other things that are fun and good for you -- like glasses of red wine or handfuls of chocolate (chocolate's good for you) -- you can't have too many orgasms. (Read that again....I did) 

Plus, they won't result in back fat or gin blossoms. (And no ladies, fake orgasms don't count. Can we stop that already? Its not helping our men...or our health for that matter!)

Let's do a run down of the benefits shall we? 

1. Orgasms are good for your lady parts.

A recent study found that women who have orgasms during menstruation are 1.5 times less likely to suffer from endometriosis, a potentially dangerous uterine condition that can lead to infertility. But they also make you 3 three times more likely to suffer from whistling and skipping and annoying your friends. 

2. Orgasms help manage pain.

An orgasm can more than double a woman's woman’s tolerance for pain, according to a recent study. Seems likely, given that orgasms more than double your tolerance for your husband’s habit of leaving his underwear on the floor.

3. Orgasms can prevent a heart attack.

Research shows that the female orgasm lowers your blood pressure. And we all know that high blood pressure can lead to heart attacks. And by calming the runaway electrical impulses that lead to a rapid heartbeat, orgasms can also cure hiccups, which sure beats having your man “scare” you.

4. Orgasms may treat addiction and depression.

Sounds like a stretch, but researchers say that being able to activate your brain's brain’s feel-goodery center just by touching your own nipples has broader implications: Being able get instant pleasure this way may keep you from seeking that dopamine high from other places, like, you know, drugs or Doritos. Although while you can eat Doritos in public, you probably shouldn't play with your nipples.

5. Orgasms burn calories.

An orgasm can burn up to 200 calories after 30 minutes of strenuous stimulation (which should hopefully include an orgasm). Yes, this sounds like a lot, but think of it as "strenuous stimulation" vs. "strenuous squats with hand weights and the choice is clear. Or unclear, depending on the sexual position you prefer.

Remember my friends, good, real, and toe tingling sex is part of a good healthy lifestyle! 

So get to it! ;) 

Namaste, my friends
