Shocking Ways Sex Helps You Live Longer

Is sex really that important?

As more and more research is done on the subject, it’s becoming clearer that having healthy sex is essential to a healthy life. Sex can even help you to live longer. According to Dr. Irwin Goldstein, Director of Sexual Medicine at Alvarado Hospital, if you read the latest research, “you can’t conclude anything else but that it’s healthy to have sexual activity.”

The research being done pinpoints a few specific — and surprising — health benefits that result from having a healthy and active sex life. Healthline examines a dozen of the most proven and interesting findings.

Sex fights colds and the flu

According to a study done at Wilkes University, people who have sex a couple of times a week tend to have much higher amounts of the antibody immunoglobulin A (IgA) than those who have sex less than once a week. What does that mean? “IgA is the first line of defense against colds and flu,” says Carl Charnetski, one of the researchers on the Wilkes study.

Sex burns calories

Sex increases blood flow and gets your heart pumping. Simply put, sex is a form of exercise, and it’s more fun than running laps. Sex doesn’t burn a ton of calories. According to a 2013 article in The New England Journal of Medicine, a man in his mid-30s might expend 21 kilocalories during intercourse. However, it’s still more exercise than you’d get sitting on the couch in front of your TV.

Sex reduces risk of heart disease

Numerous studies have shown that an active sex life is closely correlated with a longer life. Specifically, it seems like sex may lower the risk for heart attacks, strokes, and other heart diseases. In 2010, the New England Research Institute conducted a massive study. Its results suggested that regular sexual activity may reduce heart disease risk.

Sex regulates hormone levels

Why should you care? Among other things, a healthy hormone profile promotes regular menstrual cycles and decreases negative menopause symptoms.

Sex can cure headaches and reduce physical pain

Although it doesn’t seem like sex would help relieve a headache, it actually can. How? During sex, the hormone oxytocin is released in your body. Oxytocin reduces pain. In a study published in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, volunteers who inhaled oxytocin vapor and then had their fingers pricked felt only half as much pain as others who did not inhale any oxytocin.

6 Steps to Beat Premature Ejaculation

Men, you can last longer. For years, I silently battled premature ejaculation and test-drove every bizarre remedy I stumbled upon. Follow these exercises that finally worked for me. Confidential: Learn the secrets to last longer in bed, from the editors of Men’s Health

1. Master masturbation

Masturbate with a woman's orgasm in mind, not your own. In other words, take your time: Work up to 15 minutes. Bring yourself close to the point of no return, but don't let yourself ejaculate until time is up.

2. Squeeze

If you're overheating during masturbation or sex, stop and squeeze right below the head of your penis. Apply firm pressure with your thumb and forefinger and focus the pressure on the urethra—the tube running along the underside of the penis. The squeeze technique, developed by those icons of sex therapy, Masters and Johnson, pushes blood out of the penis and momentarily decreases sexual tension and represses the ejaculatory response.

3. Pinpoint ejaculatory inevitability

Masters and Johnson broke the process of sexual response into four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. It's the plateau and orgasm phases we're most concerned with, as most men crash through the former, straight into the latter.
Related: The Best Sex Toys
The trick is to slow down and recognize that there's a spectrum of feelings throughout the process of sexual response and to recognize your own point of ejaculatory inevitability. Rate your sexual excitement on a scale of 1 to 10. Try keeping yourself at 7.

4. Sexercise

Do your Kegels. A Kegel is an exercise that helps tighten the pubococcygeal (PC) muscles of the pelvic floor. Both men and women have them, and you can become familiar with the muscle group by cutting off the flow of urine and then starting and stopping it repeatedly. (Begin with a full bladder.)

Once you have the exercise down, practice your Kegels anywhere: at your desk, behind the wheel. Tighten your PC muscles and hold for a count of 10, then release. Practice in sets of 10. Stronger PC muscles will help you exercise ejaculatory control when you approach the point of inevitability.

5. Press, don't thrust

Tease her, taunt her: Press the head of your penis into her clitoral head. Linger in her vaginal entrance, where the most sensitive nerve endings are. When you do have intercourse, focus on small, shallow movements that penetrate the first 2 to 3 inches of her vaginal canal. Press your penis against her G-spot. You'll last longer if you're not thrusting vigorously.

6. Show a little courtesy

Ladies first, gentlemen—and I'm talking about more than just holding the door open. Keep your woman happy. Women have an innate capacity to experience multiple orgasms. When you help her to her first one, it relieves you of some of the pressure to please and the psychological anxiety that feeds into PE. Use your fingers; use your mouth. Don't know how?

14 Struggles Only Women with Small Boobs Understand

Girls with teeny ta-tas might be able to pull off a plunging neckline without looking boobilicious and don't have to wear multiple sports bras, but it's not all spaghetti straps and sunshine. If your bra size is the same as the type of batteries in your remote control, we feel you. Read on for 14 problems you and your bee stings can totally relate to.
1. In high school, you bought the smallest bra available in Victoria's Secret—and it was still too big. Shout out to your entire graduating class! They probably saw your nipples at least once since your pair couldn't fill the whole cup.
2. Speaking of high school, your 18-year-old self was waiting for the day her pair would arrive, but... A decade later, they seemed to have gotten lost in the mail.
3. You've seriously considered bizarre boob-growing methods. The suction cup bra, breast-enhancing pills, straight-up estrogen supplements. You've pondered them all and maybe even sampled a few.
4. Wearing your "hello, fellas" push-up bra on a first date feels a little like a trick. Sure, they look great now...but when the boulder holder comes off for the first time, well, here's to hoping he's an ass guy.

5. Swimsuit shopping sucks twice as much. Everyone hates shopping for a suit, but when your boobs are fun-sized, you have to strike more poses than Kendall Jenner in the dressing room to ensure you don't flash a nip at the pool.
6. And once you get to the pool, 15-year-old boys hit on you. It's not their fault you look like you could star in a Disney Channel sitcom.

7. You're told that it's still possible that your girls will grow. But that's only likely to happen after you get knocked up. Thanks, mom.

8. The sex move that involves putting a penis between your boobs is a pipe dream. There's no way in hell that's ever going to be a possibility for you. Maybe that's for the best, though?
9. The "scoop" isn't just a trick to make your boobs look perkier. It's a way of life.
10. You Can't. Stop. Staring. At other women's boobs. You may have even tried to feel a girl up. #BoobGoals.
11. Buying lingerie is borderline impossible. Not surprisingly, kinky costumes don't typically come small enough for a child to wear.
12. You're singlehandedly keeping your tailor in business. "Yep, I'll have the usual. Take three inches in on both sides. Thanks," says you every time you buy a dress.
13. You're genuinely surprised when you catch a glimpse of yourself with cleavage. It's so exciting, you're tempted to comment "Woo! Cleavage!" on the Facebook photo you're tagged in.
14. You've perfected the faux cleavage boob squeeze. Just bring those arms a couple of inches in, and bam, you've got the goods—for about 30 seconds

Easy Trick For Brown Smoky Lids

Easy Trick For Brown Smoky Lids

There are many techniques for applying makeup, but some of them are more efficient than others. 

So, here is what kind of products and tools you will need for this makeup design:

• A makeup primer for the lids;
• Brown eye pencil;
• Round makeup brush;
• Mascara.

It doesn’t matter how simple the makeup design is – always put primer on the lids! It will hold whatever you have on the lids, which will guarantee a long lasting makeup design. When the lids are properly prepared, you can finally start with the application of the design. Take a look at the steps:

1. Take the eye pencil and make sure it is sharpened well enough. If it is not, you have to sharpen it until the tip of the pencil become pointy. The pointy tip is needed for the better result at the end.
2. 
   

   1. So, draw three lines at the outer corner of the lid. The lines should be one above another and they shouldn’t go further half of the lid.
   2. Then draw three more lines, but the second group of lines must cross the first group of lines. You just created strokes, as the painters do.
   3. Trace the lash line from the inside of the inner corner of the eye to the outer one.
   4. Now take the brush and smudge the strokes.

   
   

   If you want bolder look you can reapply the steps from 1 to 5. As a finishing touch, you should apply mascara.

   
   

   Done!

This Amazing Village in India Plants 111 Trees Every Time a Little Girl is Born

Every culture has its own traditions surrounding the birth of a child. While we celebrate newborn girls by sending pink dresses and dolls, in the village of Piplantri in Rajasthan, India, they celebrate by planting 111 trees.

That’s right, every time a little girl is born in Piplantri, 111 trees are planted in her honor!

In most Indian villages, the birth of a daughter was historically considered a burden for a family. Rural villages operate on the dowry system which contributes to the high cost of marriage for households with daughters. As a result, daughters were often regarded as lesser than their male counterparts and many were married before they reached the age of 18; few received a proper education.

Violence against women derived from these attitudes is still a heated topic in India. The documentary “India’s Daughters,” was recently banned due to its upfront portrayal of rape and abuse in the country.

In juxtaposition, the tradition of planting trees to welcome the birth of female children in Piplantri seems to completely reject these historical constraints, fostering hope that attitudes towards women can change.

This amazing custom was started by former village leader Shyam Sundar Paliwal to honor his daughter who passed away when she was young. Although Paliwal no longer serves as the village’s leader, the tradition has continued nonetheless.

When a girl is born, village members band together to raise a sort of “trust” for the girl. The parents contribute one-third of the sum of 31,000 Rupees, equivalent to $500, and the money is set aside as a 20-year fund for the girl. This ensures that she will never be considered a financial burden for her parents.

In return for this trust, the parents sign a legal affidavit that states that the daughter will only be married after she reaches the age of 18 and has received a proper education. The affidavit states that the 111 trees must be taken care of as well.

It’s a clever little catch, but the practice of planting trees in conjunction with the birth of a child actually works to ensure that the local environment will be able to support the ever growing population. 

Not only does this beautiful tradition foster a deep appreciation for females in the village, but it also instills a remarkable sense of environmental stewardship. 

Gehrilal Balai, a father who planted 111 saplings last year, told Hindustan Times that he felt the same happiness in looking after the saplings as lulling his daughter to sleep. 

The trees become a symbol for the baby girl and the villagers work just as hard to protect the trees from termites, by planting aloe vera, as they do the girls from all the hardships of life. 

Seeing the intimate connection between the social health and environmental health of the village, Paliwal’s tradition has created a truly sustainable future for community members. 

Over the course of the past six years, a quarter of a million trees have been planted in Piplantri. Villagers credit the harmony that this tradition has brought to their community with the dramatic drop in crime. Not to mention their renewed adoration of little girls.

When we see the connection between social issues and look to their environmental roots, we can find unique and incredible solutions to the world’s modern problems. You might not think that something as insignificant as a sapling could change the world, but remember, that sapling will one day grow into an enormous tree.
