| Orgasms make you live longer?
Posted: 5/17/2007 4:30:03 PM | Recently Oprah had a show with a bunch of health questions. This was one of them. Who woulda thunk it?
Question 10: According to Dr. Oz, how often should you have sex?
A) Once a week
B) Twice a week
C) 10 times a month
D) 200 times a year or more
The correct answer is D.
"If you have more than 200 orgasms a year, you can reduce your physiologic age by six years," Dr. Oz says. He bases the number on a study done at Duke University that surveyed people on the amount and quality of sex they had. "They looked at what happened to folks that are having a lot of intercourse over time, and the fact is, it correlated."
Among the benefits of having sex often, Dr. Oz says, is that it can prove that your body is functioning as it is supposed to. "But in addition, having sex with someone that you care for deeply is one of the ways we achieve that Zen experience that we all crave as human beings," he says. "It's really a spiritual event for folks when they're with someone they love and they can consummate it with sexual activity … seems to offer some survival benefit." | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 7:48:18 PM | OK, so what Dr. Oz is saying, and what we're all agreeing with, is that it's ok and good to be the tarts we always knew we really are?
Works for me too.

Posted: 5/17/2007 7:48:51 PM | We do not need experts to tell us. Aren't we happier, or at least more relaxed, after sex expecially when it comes with affection? I wonder why we are so hang up on such a beautiful thing, it's more important that food.
I saw another post about friends and sex... if you enjoy it, does it matter where it comes from? I know, I know, ...it would be best with your dream partner, but mean time what you do, deny yourself of a form of contentment?
Anyway, I am done jogging, I will keep the door open. | |

Wish me luck.

Posted: 5/17/2007 7:59:02 PM | | I would agree that Orgasms make you smile longer and that can't be a bad thing :) Us women are really weird though and for the most part, we want to enjoy that with someone we care about, deeply. Fickle creatures that we are. | |

It doesn;t have to be an Orgasm 200 times a year, in my opinion. It's cuddling, being affectionate with one another as well, every night, no exception. It's all part of being together and showing our love. Take nothing for granted, ever. | |

It's a good feeling, yes, 200 does not mean a thing. | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 8:36:52 PM | I've got to agree with you on this one Damsel. Orgasms are great..... but only works for me when with someone I care about. And, if my man is emotionally connected to me.That's the significant difference. Orgasms are a dime a dozen on any steet corner or alone with B.O.B. ... But, will these kind of orgasms make you live longer? Or, will orgasms experienced with a committed loving partner that are sharing our life with us be better for us? I'd opt for orgasms with a loving partner any day. I think Dr. Oz needs to clarify the benefits of orgasms fulfilled with a signifuicant person in our lives versus the physiologic/physical orgasm.

Posted: 5/17/2007 8:55:59 PM | | ha, we can all dream, but it's all about trust (wasn't there a song about that?) Faith in one another... which comes back to the subject at hand. Orgasms. Frees the spirit when your heart is in someone's hand to love, inspire and enjoy each other in every aspect. | |
