Science gives eight reasons for daily sex!

Sex has always been different for me. Different in the way it eases my tensions, cures my anxieties and alleviate me from the hassles of life. It’s my drug, my medicine.

I would have really wanted to share to you every minute detail why having sex is great. But I came across to this article, brilliantly rationalized.

“Science gives eight reasons for daily romps!

1. The body you want
When you cut your finger, does Ragú ooze out? Does the idea of exercising induce suicidal hollandaise binges? We can think of one way to have a blast and get in shape simultaneously. "Sex is a vigorous form of exercise," says Dr. Michael Cirigliano of the University of Pennsylvania. "The physiological changes in your body are consistent with a normal workout. Your heart and respiratory rates rise, and you burn calories." How many? Having sex three times a week for 20 minutes a pop for a year will burn some 7,500 calories (that’s the equivalent of a 4 1/2 pound wheel of brie). If you did it every day, you could shave off a pound of lard in two weeks. Of course, the more athletic the sex, the better the workout. See you in the emergency room

2. In the mood
Ever lie back after a good screw and think, Damn, the world’s a pit of misery. Why not end it all? Of course not. That’s because sex is an antidepressant. During the act your body’s producing pleasure-inducing fluids besides the ones that shoot out of your body. "You’re releasing endogenous opioids. They’re like drugs, but they’re manufactured internally," says Dr. Alice Ladas, a psychologist and one of the authors of The G Spot. In fact, studies show that merely touching someone can raise the level of serotonin in his brain, which is similar to what Prozac does.

3. Hurt so good
So she’s got a headache, huh? Arthritis? A fresh chain-saw wound? No excuse: Thanks to the endorphins released during sex, a rowdy belly dance can actually ease her suffering. "Pain threshold in women is elevated 60 to 80 percent during pleasurable stimulation," explains Dr. Beverly Whipple, a professor of neuroscience and president of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. In one recent study, Gina Ogden, author of Women Who Love Sex, experimented by attaching a clamp to a woman’s finger and squeezing, first while she was at rest and later while she was getting some. As her subject climaxed, Ogden pinched past the point at which the woman routinely howled, with no response at all. "In the midst of orgasm," Ogden noted, "she apparently feels no pain."

4. Daily injections
Want to help ease those nasty PMS symptoms? Studies show that a woman’s overall reproductive system benefits from frequent penile insertions. "Sexual activity helps strengthen the pubococcygeus muscles (PC muscles), which in turn help keep the pelvic organs in shape and where they belong," explains Dr. Ladas. Regular love sessions can also postpone the onset of menopause, stimulate fertility, and regulate the menstrual cycle.

5. Old Faithful
Fun fact: 52 percent of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 have trouble getting wood. But having more sex can better your chances. Frequent erections keep blood flowing through your capillaries, so the flesh in your bone stays nourished. And more important, an erection is an athletic reflex. "The more you train the coordination between nerve and muscle, the easier it is to perform," says Dr. Andre Guay, head of the sexual function center at the Lahey Clinic in Peabody, Massachusetts.

6. The gland of milk and honey
Yeah, the prostate’s a funny little gland. Not only is it a key component in your pleasure machine (and a male G spot, if you know how to find it), it tends to swell as we get older, causing agony for lots of guys. To keep it from bugging you, take saw palmetto (an over-the-counter herb supplement that relieves symptoms of prostate enlargement ), and keep ejaculating. "Most of the fluid you ejaculate comes from the prostate and the seminal vescles," says Dr. Guay. "When someone stops having orgasms, the fluids back up and the glands can become swollen." When prostatic congestion occurs, the gland squeezes your urinary tract; pain shoots through your guts and you have a hard time taking a leak. Talk about a spent fuel rod.

7. Chemical attraction
Bet you didn’t know that testosterone is responsible for sex drive in women as well as men. Yup, a lady with no testosterone will be drier than an AA meeting. Plus, testosterone is a steroid that regulates the body’s metabolism, letting it use energy efficiently. And the more sex you have, the more testosterone you’re producing. "A consquence is that your body is able to stimulate tissue replacement and bone growth, which, among other things, helps prevent osteoporosis," says Dr. Susan Rako, author of The Hormone of Desire. "Higher levels of testosterone can also promote an overall feeling of well-being."

8. Long time comin’
Want to live longer? Try adding a little spice to your diet. In 1997 an inquisitive British doctor published a study that followed 918 men between the ages of 45 and 59 for 10 long years to determine how sexual activity affected their life spans. Here’s what he found: Men who had two or more orgasms every week were half as likely to croak as those who averaged fewer than one orgasm a month. And, hey, guys never lie about this kind of stuff, so we’re sure the data’s right on the money.”

Now all you need is your partner. Hope I won’t see you in an emergency room!

The Love Store

A new partnership has taken place again. Bliss is now offered at The Love Store located at Conchu corner Pablo Ocampo (former Vito Cruz) streets. You can visit them virtually at www.adults.com.ph.

Inquire thru the site and have their products delivered right at your doorstep. Be not afraid, for they will not conceal the product you’ve purchased. They would even spare the time to wrap them in a very discreet packaging.

With this new partnership, you can grab your own Bliss wherever you are.

Information is key!

It’s imperative to know your customers. Know what they want and give it to them. But we never really have thought of educating our prospective customers is key to making the business mature and eventually succeed.

The challenge that small entrepreneurs put up with is finding all the avenues of making a sale with minimal cost or if possible nothing at all.

One of the setbacks we have experienced is making the inquisitive people purchase your product. Bliss personal lubricant is not that distributed well (those conservative people are giving us a hard time) but we realize that we are not maximizing what we’ve got.

On places that Bliss is available, people are inquiring the products purpose and use - a strong indication of a possible sale. We found out that the stores’ crew were not well-informed (or not at all) about Bliss.

So this month, we targeted to educate them again. Visiting all the outlets, instructing and informing them how Bliss personal lubricant can change their perspective in having wonderful sex-perience.

I left every store with huge smile. The way they giggle with agreement on how to use Bliss. It was never really that clear to them that such a product could entice a couples relationship and make it even more exciting.

I am looking forward to those new consumers to say “Damn! Bliss surely holds up to her name… Bliss is experiencing total pleasure!”

The Pleasure Place

The Pleasure Place is located in Metro Walk Ortigas. This new shop has a wide range of women’s accessories. From products that you could flaunt with, like bracelets and sandals that are very hard to find, to discrete products such as dildos and vibrators.

The owners are very accomodating with their customers. I would say that they are also one of the baby boomers trying to share the best things a woman could expereince.

Visit their place and try their products. The shop is open from 1pm until 1am. You wont be disappointed with their offer.

Prevent Unwantd Pregnancies

I was browsing old issues of Time Magazine and encountered these data

30% of Filipino couples unaware that babies result from having sex, according to a study by the Philippine government.
2.35% Net population growth in the Philippines, among the highest in the world, with 4,000 babies born every day. Source: Time Magazine (3/14/05)

Population control is a must. But the solution offered from foreign countries is not greatly accepted. Stores offering contraceptives are being banned for closure. How do these people would solve the problem at hand? Even sex education is prevented as part of the schools curriculum.

You can’t take away sex from people. It’s homo-sapiens nature to fornicate. I say, use a contraceptive if you must! Exult yourself for Bliss… won’t take the pleasure away from you even while wearing a condom.

This could be the very least thing we could contribute in managing the country’s population.

The Bare Essentials

I was surprised to discover that women are very much neglected. But at the same time thankful that there are pioneers in liberating women and empowering them. Meeting the owner of the Bare Essentials Mrs. Topacio is a rare experience and very much enlightening. We share the same vision of liberating Filipino’s sexuality. It’s not an easy task but our intimate conversations with her made me feel that the hard road we are taking will soon bare fruit.

Bare Essentials is one of our current partners in distributing Bliss. They have shops in Ali Mall Cubao, Festival Mall in Alabang and soon will open their branches in Cebu, Bacolod and Davao.
