Give me one good reason

As you have probably noticed, I haven’t posted in a long long time. When you just had a baby, you find that your priorities are shifting. All of a sudden I wonder why I was blogging. Did I not have anything better to do? And to great disappointment of my husband there are more things that seem pointless now. So, because I need a little bit of convincing, I went searching for a good reason to have sex. Actually, I found quite a few:

  1. Sex makes you smart. Sex helps you produce hormones and Oxytocin is one of them. This hormone not only gives us a pleasant and relaxed feeling, but also helps our memory and learning ability improve.
  2. Sex is a painkiller. (“Do you have a headache, honey? I have a remedy!”) Another hormone that is produced is Endorphin, the happiness hormone and a natural painkiller. Endorphins work against headaches, muscle aches, etc and give us a happy feeling.
  3. Sex is a great cardio exercise. During sexual activities our heart beats over a hundred times more per minute than normal. This means a nice rinsing of the heart and veins.
  4. Sex is good for your self esteem. Sex is a confirmation that your partner finds you attractive.
  5. Sex makes you attractive. Pheromones are released during sex and this triggers a physical reaction in others. (There are also perfumes available with pheromones to create this effect)
  6. Sex makes happy. It is proven that people who have sex often are happier than people who are not sexually active. But a study also proved that semen makes happy.
  7. Sex can help you sleep better. The exercise gives you a healthy tired feeling and hopefully a satisfied feeling as well. This helps you forget about worries for a while and fall asleep easily.
  8. Sex increases immunity. Having sex twice a week ensures a high dose of Immunoglobulin A, which protects you from infections and colds. (However, be moderate, because when having sex more than three times a week, the amount of immunoglobulin will drop).
  9. Sex makes you beautiful. Thanks to the production of Estrogen your hair and skin will look better. Sex even is a great remedy against cellulites.
  10. Sex is good for your relationship. I covered this topic often enough, a healthy sex life is important in a relationship.
Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.
Billy Crystal

Is this convincing enough? I guess so. So, bring on the lubricants and let’s make ourselves smart, happy, beautiful and healthy.

Having a (sleeping) baby

If you asked me five years ago what it is like to have a baby in the house, I would have said that it very exhausting, a big shock, frustrating, etc. And it would all be an understatement. I would also admit that it was worth it, that I never smiled as much in my [...]

Are you a blogger? I guess so. I guess that most of my readers are bloggers because it is just easiest to reach other bloggers and a little harder to get beyond that to the world wide web. So, I would like to know why you are blogging? Are you trying to make some money [...]
