I was online this morning and ran across an article that caught my attention:
I usually turn off when I see Oprah mentioned but decided to read on. Here is part of the article:
From the Editors at Netscape:
But the question that generated the most interest was: How often should you have sex? The multiple choice options: once a week, twice a week, 10 times a month, 200 times a year.
The answer: 200 times a year.
“If you have more than 200 orgasms a year, you can reduce your physiologic age by six years,” Dr. Oz says, basing this number on a study from researchers at Duke University who surveyed people about 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.” Frequent sex helps 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,” says Dr. Oz. “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.”

So, What do you think? Is 200 orgasms a year like the “Impossible Dream” ?

Nahhh….once a year, commrades; that’s all ya need.
Didja ever see the old ‘Star Trek’ episode where the crew discovers that Spock and his wife only mate once in seven years ??
That’s all me and the missus do – once a year. Ya, its a long time, suppose, but man, what a blast when we do do it.
Only minus is the maids complain that the place looks like that slime – creature from the ‘Alien’ movie series had camped out in our hotel room.
cheers,
I dunno. I do wonder why they assume that if you have sex 200 times a year that you will have an orgasm 200 times a year…..
David…Ewww?
Ginger..sorry…I don;t know…If I had sex 200 times a year that would be like…400 or more orgasms…It’s no wonder i am immature, huh?
“…If I had sex 200 times a year that would be like…400 or more orgasms…”
woah…..
maybe that fellow at the pub who’d thought you ‘Wonder – Woman’ was on to something…
Then again…my wife just read the post…lol!
She said, “…her man talk softly, carry big stick.”
She’s from Asia, so I have no idea what that could mean.
I imagine she means that the Marine knows what he is doing..and that is true..he does…
There is nothing super or wonder about me..I know how my body works and what it takes to make it happen. I have been pretty good about sharing those things with Marc and he has been great about doing what I need him to do. Plus I have almost no inhibitions..if you haven’t noticed. Plus I feel safe with Marc, generally, which also adds to the ease with which I reach an O.
I waltzed right into that, didn’t I? I reread the post(s) and have been giving the wife the evil eye for that one…
No more computer for her…lol!
”…I feel safe with Marc, generally, which also adds to the ease with which I reach an O.”
You know that ties in with something I’d read in a Marriage Newsgroup. The thread was something like ” I always knew safety was a part of it…” or something to that ilk. It correlates with your statement to the letter.
I’d think in at least some circumstances, the element of newness or mystery would play a bigger role as time went on…
Well, I can’t go on with my post as my kids are practicing their Tae Kwon Do on the back of my head presently.
BTW… I suppose the old married couple’s joke I sent you guys via email the other day didn’t go over well? I thought it funny.
Anyways,
bis dann!
David- I never got your email..sorry..
I don;t think mystery or newness is part of it…at least not for me. I think safety, for most women, is paramount. I also think that women have to be willing to learn what works for them and to communicate that to their mate. And I will probably take that to a whole new post this week.
I feel like I missed the while conversation here but that’s okay.
There may be a few more O’s tonite.
Did I say that softly enough?
Just as well that ya missed it. I missed most of it and I was ‘there’.
My seemingly straight – faced wife apparently did not :{
YAY to Marc
LOL! to David
David,
ROFL!!!
I had to stop the letters at that….
Ya, the light did finally flicker on in my thick skull at the end !!
After some years, I find someone I know ( or at least thought I knew ) thinks herself clever ~~~~…~~~~ heh
As an engineer, I have to wonder.
I think I read somewhere that between two and four times a month is average (not sure I’m remembering correctly or not).
So. Does the sex add six years to physiological age, or is it the extra 150 to 175 sets of aerobic excercise each year?
two to four times a month? no wonder everyone is so cranky.
Hence, My dilema. I, er, uh, mean Delight! Yeah, That’s the Ticket!
Hence my delight….
very funny.
