WebMD recently reported that sex does the body good and I think we’d all agree. The old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, should have really said “a lay a day keeps the doctor away”. Having sex, not even good sex, has proven to improve a person’s mental and physical health. The following, reported by WebMD, are seven reasons why you should have regular sex (but I’m talking about the healthy and protected sex, not the one night stand and loose your senses sex, just to clarify) so enjoy!

1. Sex Relieves Stress. Well this one is a given. Everyone knows that if you are anxious, stressed or upset in any way, having sex, even if you aren’t necessarily into it, will undoubtedly put you in a better mood. And if you doubt my words, read Biological Psychology which published an experiment of 24 woman and 22 men who were put in stressful situations; those who were having regular sex maintained lower blood pressure in the stressful situations compared to the people who weren’t having sex. Basically, having sex on a regular basis will keep your blood pressure down. So next time you want to tell your partner to “take a chill pill”, get naked instead!

2. Sex Boosts Immunity. WebMD reports that having sex once or twice a week, I know that’s a stretch for some, is linked to with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other infections. A experiment was done where a person’s saliva was tested for this specific antibody and those who had “frequent” sex, once or twice a week, had higher levels of the antibody than those who were abstinent. Next time you have the urge to pop a echinecia to cure your cold, pounce on your significant other instead; get those antibody levels up!

3. Sex Burns Calories. Don’t you just love this one? I mean, not only do you get to hopefully have the time of your life, you are actually getting thinner doing it. On average, thirty minutes of sex will burn 85 calories. Now remember this is an average; those “marathon nights” will definitely amount to more than 85 calories. So ladies, ride away…

4. Sex Improves Cardiovascular Health. Men listen to this one! For men, having sex twice or more a week, reduced the chance for a fatal heart attack by half! So not only can you be stoked that you are having sex twice or more a week, but you are going live longer because of it, giving you more time to have more mind blowing sex.

5. Sex Boosts Self Esteem. You know that silly smile that you can’t kick after a good romp, or the extra kick in your step after a night of passion, that’s your self-esteem boost. People have sex to feel better, to feel good. Having healthy sex leaves one feeling empowered and invigorated. After an amazing love fest, men feel like they are a God and women feel like they are the sexiest creature ever; if this isn’t self esteem boosting, I don’ t know what is. So maybe instead of your weekly therapy session, you should just have a night of marathon love-making.

6. Sex Improves Intimacy. WebMD reports, having sex and orgasms increases levels of the hormone oxytocin, the
so-called love hormone, which helps us bond and build trust. Researchers found that woman who have more physical contact with their husbands, hugging, kissing and having sex, had higher oxytocin levels. And the more oxytocin you have, the more love you will feel. Most people would agree that physical contact brings two people closer emotionally, but now it is proven that your body will literally feel more love with that extra contact.

7. Sex Helps You Sleep Better. Now this one is definitely a given. There is absolutely nothing more inviting than a nap after a nice orgasm. Researchers say that the hormone oxytocin, the love hormone, that is released during an orgasm helps a person sleep better. Not only will you be tired after sex from burning calories, improving your cardiovascular health, but now your hormones released will also force you into sleep. So next time ladies when you get peeved because man rolls over and nods off in a post sex cuddle, don’t take it personally, it’s that damn oxytocin!

Well if these seven reasons don’t encourage you to have sex tonight than I give up.  Now remember, “a lay a day will keep the doctor away”…

I am going to try to write this post without sounding too cynical, I know I probably won’t succeed, but come on, how am I not suppose to sound cynical when reporting on pregnant 16-year old Jamie Lynn Spears and her recent engagement to her 18-year old boyfriend. PEOPLE.com has reported that Jamie Lynn Spears is sporting a new engagement ring given to her by her 18-year old boyfriend, Casey Aldridge.  The world was shocked earlier this year when Jamie Lynn admitted to the world that she was pregnant; how could the prim and proper, younger sister of famous train-wreck, Britney Spears, be so irresponsible and get pregnant in the midst of a flourishing career?  Jamie Lynn is double, no wait, triple, irresponsible because not only did she get pregnant at 16, but she did it right in the middle of a flourishing career, and now she is adding to the mess by getting engaged to her teenage boyfriend.  Why add to the chaos of a teenage pregnancy by getting married? 

So now about her new single, “No More“; it is definitely a step up from her last dreadful single, “Higher“, which was ripped apart by the music industry.  “No More” has the typical catchy pop sound, but the singing is so shallow and hollow.  I don’t think Heidi’s voice is capable of any range because her voice stays the same tone the entire song.  The lyrics express Heidi’s frustration over being treated poorly in a relationship, but her voice does not echo any pain or frustration; her voice is just empty.  The tone is not horrible, but it is just boring and has a mild trance feel.  Heidi’s song “No More” has no distinguishable qualities and is only mildly entertaining.

Do you agree with me?  Do you think her single is another trainwreck, or does it have some redeeming qualitites?

So last week I had nothing but praise for Brooke White and her awesome performance of the Beatles hit, “Let it Be”. This week was a different story; She still is my favorite contestant, I still think she is as cute as button, but her performance on this week’s American Idol was horrendous! Brooke sang the Beatles hit “Here Comes the Sun” and it was awkward, awkward and awkward! She looked pretty in her flowing yellow dress, but between her non-rhythmic dancing and her lack of soul, it was just a shallow performance. We all know that Brooke can deliver soul and depth, because her performance last week delivered, so it was especially disappointing that she failed miserably this week. All the judges told her that her performance looked forced and uncomfortable, and Brooke, in her sweet fashion, said the criticism was okay because the judges have been so nice to her in the past. Brooke is so sweet, because even when the judges were criticizing her she was still gracious and down to earth. I really believe that if she wins the competition she would never take her celebrity for granted and would not let herself get caught up in the Hollywood “scene”. I still have faith that Brooke will pull through and dazzle us next week.

So do you agree with me? Do you think Brooke has what it takes to dominate American Idol?

Enjoy the agony, tell me what you think!

So everyone has heard about Governor Spitzer and how spent thousands of dollars on escorts, maybe even taxpayer’s money, but what about his wife Silda Spitzer? How has she been holding up? The only time anyone sees Silda is when she is solemnly standing next her husband while he gives is “I’m ashamed” speeches; so why has she not kicked his ass to the curb? Friends of Silda claim that maybe Silda has wanted to leave Eliot but she took a vow for “better or for worse”, so she is staying true to her words. Silda is described as a very honorable woman who takes her marriage very seriously. Furthermore, Silda is still in complete shock and hasn’t wanted to make any hasty decisions. “She’s in a state of shock right now and she’s not going to make any hasty decisions,” adds high school friend Lina Gibson of Concord, N.C. “She’s not going to throw 20 years of marriage away based on one week of reports. She has to wait until this does down and decide what she wants to do, not what the media decides she should do.” Silda probably is struggling with the infidelity like most men or woman would; you know you should leave your partner because you do deserve better, but your whole life is wrapped up in them, so is it really worth starting all over? Silda has probably dedicated her entire life to her husbands career, forgetting herself in the process, so it would be especially difficult for her to leave him. Regardless of what decision she makes, I do feel for the woman, her husband humiliated her in front of the nation because he wanted to f&#k a prostitute. So the Spitzer saga continues…just another day in politics…
