Sex Good For The Heart

HA HA - I'm turning the tables...

HA HA - I'm turning the tables...

I just read an interesting article in Reader's Digest entitled "Sex: Saving Mens Lives". Of course, in the spirit of this thread, I had to read it immediately...

What made me laugh was that it should have read "NO SEX: Saving Mens Lives", because it drew the conclusion that men are terrors for not going to the doctor and it was often when impotence first raises it's ugly head (..oh the irony!!..) that they were off to the GP to get it checked out (..and a little bottle of blue pills to boot!! ..).

Anyhoo, apparently the male "equimpent" is like a little version of their heart and so when arteries and such start getting clogged, or there are problems with BP, etc, these things can show up "down there" therefore giving an early indication to potential heart problems, diabetes, etc, etc, etc....

Just thought I'd share......

My BP is just fine, thank you very much...I check it daily!

 

[Abbanabba]

I'm very pleased for you

This is Bob, something something something he made a phone call, now he's livin large and somthing easy.....evitra baby. I get sex, but even though I AM in my mid twenties, kids kinda put a dapper on THAT! Ian is 5, and he likes to barge into my room and say, "why are you two getting married, stop it!" Once he said, "Stop being in Love." It was embarrassing. One time, Kev and I had just finished, and Ian takes ME by the hand and said, Ok, mommy, lets go to bed like you and daddy did for OUR nap. Kids. He put our cats together and said, "Look, I put them together so they can get married" (see above statements)

diabetes II can definitely cause things to go south - and the little blue pills (and others) won't make anything stand at attention - salute, maybe, tho.

Joy honey it doesn't stop just because they're little. I have a 20 year old that still put the damper on us! Would someone please take my son for say, at least 1 year? I don't know how much more of this I can take.

A hook-and-eye or slide bolt on the door can be an excellent investment.

They never take a nap when you want them to...

Best wishes,

Or they do take a nap and some idiot has to come wake them up!

Joy, get a lock!

Now Bob... that's a little extreme. A regular door knob should work. By the time they know how to use a credit card to open the door... hopefully you've taught them not to pass through locked doors! I cannot even imagine what punishment I may have come up with if one of my kids broke through a locked door.

But Joy, you do need a lock on the bedroom door. I?ve always had this ?open door? policy in my house. Paranoid little mama that I was/am I wanted to hear EVERY little sound coming from my kids room. And as they grew older ... I STILL wanted to hear EVERY little sound. There was never a question about it, when we all went to bed at night all bedroom doors were left open. BUT when THAT was going on, we closed and LOCKED our bedroom door. Some things children shouldn?t see.

When we were building the addition on our house we bought new doors for every door in the house, and new knobs. In the process somehow the number of exterior locking knobs, interior locking knobs and closet non locking knobs got a little mixed up and we were one interior locking knob short.... one closet type non locking knob extra... this was a real pain because they were special knobs. Well, hubby?s answer was to make the rest of the house right and put the non-locking knob on our bedroom door. He asked me... ?why do we need a ?locking? knob on the bedroom door anyway??... I looked back at him with a raised eye brow and said.... ?there?s only one reason we?ve ever needed to lock the bed room door.... think about it and YOU decide if you want a lock or not?. He says.. ?OH?. No more said... he exchanged the knob for a locking knob.

Get a lock for the door, Joy. It'll make life easier for you and your kids both.

We do have a locking knob on the door, and use it, Ian knows how to open it. He's watched me open it many times with the blockbuster card. He's funny that way.

 

[Karlynn]

I think older children put more of a damper on THAT than the younger ones. We always made our children come tell us when they got home at night. Right decision for my piece of mind (not waking at 2 am and having to trapes through the house to check to see if the babies were in the nest) but bad decision for romance. Nothing like your 18 year old pounding on your bedroom door going "MOM DAD I'm home! You in there?" Then everyone becoming totally embarassed when he realizes what he's interrupting.

 

[hensylee]

We simply told the children we were fighting. Cruel, huh?

 

[tobagotwo]

Good idea, Ann. Let 'em think it's nothing special. Fighting they understand.

And Joy, like I said, a hook-and-eye or a simple slide bolt can be a great investment. At least the kid's handy...

Best wishes,

My two cents worth...

Joy,

You?ll find that what they learn when they?re five has a direct impact on what they are doing when they?re fifteen or even twenty-five. He needs to learn to respect a locked door.

I say this to you with care, not criticism.

All I can say for this thread is:

 

[Yaps]

A good jar

A good jar

of vaseline should do the trick....... smother the door knob with it... guarantee they wont get in..

 

[joy]

Yaps, I don't even WANT to know how you figured that one out! He's learned, I taught him that when mommy and daddy are in our bedroom with the door locked, he needs to stay out and leave us alone! This stuff happened a while back. He'd stay up all night long and bother Kevin when I was at work, and now he just stays in his room, otherwise he gets put in his corner. Now he sleeps all night. Never had a problem with Erik, he stays in his room and watches his video, and when it's over, he goes to sleep. Of coarse the 2 1/2 foot tall gate I have on his door makes it kinda hard for him to get out! Don't worry, i think we have it figured out now.

This thread is really funny.
Everytime that three letter word is brought up, there are more posts than any heart problem posts.
I guess it's true what they say, 'sex sells'!
Now if I could just remember what sex is.
