| So There is a Pill for Fixing a Broken Heart |
Finally. There is evidence of the link between love and a healthy heart.
Actually, it is more about the connection between sex and a certain heart condition. To be more accurate, its about those lil' blue pills and how they strengthen the heart in cases of muscular dystrophy. Okay, okay, so these might be just early findings of a study, done on mice, at the Montreal Heart Institute (Des Rosiers et al.), but let's not get caught up in the details.
I know that scientific findings should be read completely literally, but just this once, let's get a bit prosaic about it: What the researchers may be showing us, for the first time (with perhaps a bit of augmentation on my part) is that Viagra, which is usually taken to improve sexual performance, is able to strengthen heart performance. A better heart is more love and more love is better sex. Ask the mice.
This is not an advertisement for any particular sexual enhancement drug, but just a rumination on the different workings of the heart. Just for the record, we're still on the lookout for a drug to cure the romantically broken heart.

| Down with Mother's Day! |
One of my favourite pieces of wisdom holds that “if Mama's happy, everyone is happy”. That is why we should not be having silly days like these. Mother's Day is just a way of letting those non-Mama folk off the hook of being good to Mama every day. [Mama refers to all women, not only those who have reproduced, but all those who carry around the equipment and bear the consequences of it on a cyclical basis].
Now there are many ways to make Mama happy. Some think flowers and jewelry will do the trick, but these are just strategies to take down the frequency of the giving. You can give flowers and jewelry is you wish, but Mama's happiness needs to be refreshed on a daily basis. It is based on being respected, being listened to and being made to feel great about herself and her body. Multiply, if possible.
Happy Mama's Day. That goes for tomorrow too.

the way it works with my man is he goes out to buy me something, sees how expensive stuff is and lands up bringing me a cheap bouquet with an apologetic look. It makes me laugh and we'll always land up in bed.

| Turning Your Orgasm into a Cause for Science |
The 2008 Orgasm Survey is underway. It claims to be the world's largest survey of the female orgasm and even though we have no facts to back up that claim, its always a good mission to have this ever-important phenomenon studied,. So this is a call to all women to give up the 2 minutes necessary and run through the quick survey. It can be found here.
It should be said that this is not academic research, but a study being done by a group that is marketing a pelvic muscle firming product. This is not the only such product on the market, and devices are not essential in order to do pelvic floor exercises (kegels). Having said that, the information collected is important and there is not nearly enough research being done on this subject. Perhaps if the business world will lead the way, academic research will find more funding and everyone will come out smiling. Especially the pre-orgasmic gals.
And just for the record, there is an inaccuracy in the stats quoted. The writers of the survey say that 9/10 women never experience vaginal orgasm, when most research speaks about 7 out of 10. It still suggests we need to understand this situation a great deal more, but hey! - let's not go stealing orgasms from tens of millions of women!
We'll be following up with the findings....

| (Hug the) Earth Day! |
|
Wherever you are on the planet, on Earth Day we're all in the same place, with the same needs and future. Let's remember to do our bit for our environment.
Consider these few ideas about the relationship between healthy sex, a healthy life and a green environment.
¤ Sex should be a measure of good health
¤ Sex should contribute to good health
¤ Sex should advance our mental and physical wellbeing
¤ Sex should be safe from disease, violence and stress
¤ Sex should be green
