#1 Sex causes the body to release endorphins, which can lighten pains  Headaches aren’t an excuse anymore! Actually, most cardiovascular exercise causes the release of endorphins, so a job would work just as well. But let’s face it: Hitting the sheets sounds much more appealing, doesn’t it?  #2 On average, people who have sex 3 times a week are perceived to look 4 to 7 years younger Bah, who needs anti-aging creams? Also, despite the fact that there’s science behind this fact, we can’t help but think it sounds like a really terrible attempt at picking up a cougar.  #3 A Scottish study found that after orgasm, people had an easier time with public speaking So, sex cures stage fright, eh? Well, it makes sense, after all you just…ahem, “performed,” didn’t you? So, it makes sense to keep a thumb on your phone book next time you have to  #4 A poll found that those in the most conservative and religious states tend to look at online pornography more often Classic. When you ban or censor something in a society, all you’re doing is making it that much more appealing. Additionally, in these states there was seen to be a lower amount of people downloading porn on Sundays… hmm, we wonder why?  #5 Humans, along with dolphins and chimps, are the only living things that have sex for pleasure Fun as it may be for us, in most of the animal kingdom, sex is strictly business.

Yikes!  #6 34% of men have told lies in order to have sex, versus 10% of women Okay ladies, before you go off calling your guy a dirty liar, the definition of “lies” here is pretty loose. Some of the guys in the study who were interviewed merely felt they had led their partners on, and counted that as lying. Still, keep your wits about you when you’re on a date! give a presentation at work.  #7 One in 50 people claim to have had sex in an airplane The so-called Mile High Club isn’t an exclusive club, but it’s certainly a small one!

After seeing all of the strange YouTube videos that have come out of Japan in the last few years, we figured they’d be huge freaks! We’re not terribly surprised about the Greek people, though. After all, the ancient Greeks were the ones who had their own deity specifically for debauchery.  #9 Studies show that men who have sex more often tend to have a longer life expectancy Men, if your partner isn’t feeling in the mood, this might be a good line to try out to convince her.
