And no I don't mean MY-SELF, lol. In the September 2013 Self Magazine Amanda Tust lists 10 sex facts you need to know.... Now usually I don't put a ton of weight in magazine surveys, lists, etc because they like to focus more on what will sell on the front cover but I found this one to have some good info all around!!  

10 Sex Facts You Need to Know

1. You might want to hit the gym before you hit the sheets. Getting just 20 minutes of cardio exercise can increase genital arousal in women, researchers at the University of Texas in Austin have found. But maybe shower between heart-pumping sessions?

2. Size matter for women, too. A study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine shows that the clitoris becomes 15 to 20 percent larger on the 14th day of your cycle, thanks to extra, bloods flow, making the spot even more sensitive.

3. No more "I have a headache." Having sex can alleviate migraines, a study from the University of Muenster finds. Nearly 20 percent of women said the relief happened at the moment they climaxed. (This one is probably my favorite, lol)  

4. Don't neglect your girls. Brain scans show that when women stroke their nipples, it activates the same area of the brain as clitoral and vaginal stimulation, Rutgers University scientists say.

5. In case you're curious, Americans get busy nearly three times a week, a Trojan Survey reports. That's about 156 times a year.

6. Your brain becomes more activated when you look at naked people as opposed to clothed ones, research in PLoS One finds. Hey, it's all about priorities.

7. Men like Tiger and Arnold should handle their package with care. Cheaters who have rushed sex in risky places are more likely to break their penis, a University of Maryland School of Medicine study finds.

8. An eye-tracking study from Emory University found that when men looked at porn, they spent a lot of time checking out women's faces, not just their bodies. (Awww?

9. Om, yeah. A study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that 12 weeks of yoga can improve arousal, orgasm and overall sexual satisfaction. Researcher think the change may be due to extra toned pelvic muscles.

10. People who enjoy BDSM-type stuff, such as handcuffs and spanking, have a higher sense of well-being than those who don't, research in The Journal of Sexual Medicine suggests. Fascinating, but we still say Christian Grey had some serious baggage in Fifty Shades.

I might consider as a part of my retirement operating a nipple stimulating & stroking salon (NSSS) for those busy women who just cannot find the time to do it themselves.  Love those scientists from Rutgers!

is sooooo true!!! I exercise 2 hrs every day, 7 days a week and my sex drive is of the chart!

“Having sex can alleviate migraines, a study from the University of Muenster finds. Nearly 20 percent of women said the relief happened at the moment they climaxed. (This one is probably my favorite, lol) “  

   Sorry, that one sounds a little cheesy to me. First, it was not a “study.” It was a “survey” conducted by the University of Munster.

       Second, the sample size is much too small to give any credence to the self-reporting
as whether sex alleviates migraines. Of the 1000 surveys mailed, only  40% responded. That 400 was divided between migraine suffers and cluster headache sufferers.  
“Of the migraine sufferers who engaged in sexual activity during their migraines, 60 percent said that their pain was relieved afterward and one-third said that their pain worsened, reported LiveScience.”

     So what’s that- about 50 or so more women report relief than reported their pain worsened?
         
       Somehow I don’t think many husbands  are going to start keeping a copy of this study in their bedroom

Thanks for sharing this!! I agree and practice some of these. I'm ahead of the curve then!!
