Dads and sex – maybe you should put this post in a place your wife can see

or buy a copy of this month’s Men’s Health and leave page 64 open where she can see it.

Mens’ Health summarizes a bunch of stats that show why having some sex this week isn’t just a “guy thing,” but something you need to keep you in all around good shape. Among the statistics they quote:

• 11% decrease in the risk of prostate cancer if you have 8-12 orgasms per month
• 118 calories burned by a 180 pound man during one hour of foreplay. (if one is good, how about 2?)
• 50% DECREASE in risk of dying of heart disease if you have at least 2 orgasms per week
• 30% increase in immunity if you have intercourse more than twice a week.
• 143 muscles required to have sex

Of course, most of this doesn’t actually require a helper, but we’re just saying, it wouldn’t be such a bad habit to regain, for your health, of course.

By the way, that heart disease statistic is a huge motivator.
