In this generous world that the good Lord has provided for us consider the greatest gift we regularly and personally give each other ( even if we do not intent it as such): SEX
This is one of the most neglected questions in social science. We should devote more effort to diagnosing & fixing this problem. To inspire more precious - gift giving, let us review the HEALTH BENEFITS OF SEX:
- The best that modern science can say for sexual abstinence is that it's harmless when practiced in moderation!!
-In studies found in 2001...by having sex 3 times or more a week, men reduced their risk of heart or stroke by half.
- Sex burns about 200 calaries - thats the same as running 15 min. on a tredmill.
- Sex boosts production of testosterone, which leads to stronger bones, backs and muscles.
- Studies found that Sexual activity reduces depression.
- Immediately before an orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin surge to 5 times their normal level. This in turn releases endorphins; which alleviate the pain of everything from back pain to even a migraine.
- Sex promotes estrogen, which can reduce the pain of PMS. WHY DIDN'T THE DOCTOR TELL ME THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNG.
- Sex enhances the antIbody called emmanoglobutin A, which is know to boost the immune system.
- Better teeth -sex helps the delivery of mineral system containing zinc ,calcium and other minerals
- Studies show sex reduces prostrate cancer in men.
- BUT is there such a thing as too much SEX:
- if your a female the answer is probably not!!
- if your a male - you betcha...viagra & levitra has given men far more staying power than may actually be good for them!!
I also ponder why we neglect this as a research topic: It seems to me that The enjoyment of sex is seen as a " silly" topic not worthy of " serious " researchers.
So KINSEY is one of my Heros!!!!!

Hoorah! Great cartoon too.
Excellent, thanks for the great info...very encouraging. I didn't know those things. I suspected there were health benefits but didn't really know. It is nice to realize how much of a gift loving is.
