Forget getting rich—sex and sleep are the real keys to happiness

The verdict is in. Money won’t make you happy, but sex and sleep will. An Oxford study found that those two things have the strongest association with a person’s wellbeing, far more than increasing your income. Other factors found to create a stronger sense of wellbeing included living in a strong community, job security and the health of close relatives. READ MORE

Being intimate at least once a week can increase happiness

For a happier life, have sex once a week

Researchers have found that sex once a week is the optimum amount for maximizing happiness in couples. The study, which was compiled over the last 40 years, suggests that sex once a week helps to maintain intimacy and that couples having it less than once a week reported being less happy. “Most people strive to be happier, and sex is one aspect of life that is thought to be associated with greater happiness,” says Amy Muise, lead author of the study. While sex once a week can increase happiness, the study also found any more than that won’t make any difference. And, in case you were wondering, there seems to be no consistent association for single people between sexual frequency and happiness. READ MORE

What’s Really Happening Behind Closed Doors?

The “411” on sex after 50

When did you last see a TV commercial (except for erectile dysfunction) featuring 50 and 60-something couples in loving, sexual relationships?

The advertising media would have you believe that people over fifty are pretty much “over it” when it comes to sex. They portray people whose lives are focused on taking grandchildren to the park; clipping coupons for early bird dinners; watching TV re-runs of Seinfeld, and spending a lot of time going to five different doctors for those inevitable aches and pains.
Our survey said…
Although hundreds of surveys have been published on sexual behavior after age fifty, there are also studies to show that many people first want to know what is “normal” for others in their age group before they disclose their private bedroom secrets.

“People are often curious about others’ sex lives,” says Debby Herbenick, associate director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion or CSHP. “They want to know how often men and women in different age groups have sex, the types of sex they engage in, and whether they are enjoying it or experiencing sexual difficulties.”

The upside of it all
Although studies show that sex may be less frequent after fifty, there is good news: the environment is more conducive to lovemaking; the kids are out of the nest; there is more freedom; and a far less chance of becoming pregnant.

Barbara Grufferman, AARP TV host and author of Best of Everything After 50 says she and her friends once worried about becoming sexual dropouts.

“We all hated thinking that things were slowing down,” Grufferman writes. “Menopause can sometimes make sex uncomfortable…but just because a woman is post-menopausal, does she automatically lose interest? Forever?”

Some surprising statistics and helpful info
Here’s some of what Grufferman discovered:

1. The majority of women over 50 are sexually healthy and active. If there are problems connected with menopause such as vaginal dryness, over-the-counter lubricants (such as Aloe Cadabra®) can help. The problem could be resolved overnight!

2. Men want women who want sex. It’s not so much about how a man’s partner looks or how old she is, but if she’s no longer interested in sex, that can be a turnoff for him.

3. Low sex drive is often related to health and physical problems or medications used by the man, not the woman, in a relationship. Several medications prescribed for other health issues can cause “low-T” (low testosterone) and create a domino effect. The man is not stimulated which leads his partner to believe he’s no longer attracted to her.

There were several findings of interest in another survey conducted by Christiane Northrup (AARP relationship expert), Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D. and sociologist James Witte, Ph.D.

1. About a third (31%) of couples (over 50) have sex several times a week; 28 percent of couples have sex a couple of times a month; and 8 percent of couples have sex once a month. 33 percent of respondents said they rarely or never have sex.

2. A huge majority (74 percent) of the happiest couples exchange passionate kisses at least once a week. “Kissing (passionately) bonds partners more deeply,” say the authors.

Increased Sex Drive and Multiple Orgasms

After the birth of our second child, I was experiencing dryness and post partem depression. With the extra tasks from having a newborn, time was short, stress was high and the the thought of physical intimacy became less appealing, since it was uncomfortable. As we lost our physical connection, our relationship suffered on every level. We were confused, frustrated and didn’t know that dryness was normal or that there were simple and enjoyable solutions that were designed to work with and support my body’s natural processes. Aloe Cadabra has changed our lives. First it brought the comfort back to sex. As our comfort increased our natural drives for intimacy increased. As our desire for sex increased, our satisfaction with it increased (I was having multiple orgasms for the first time in my life!). As we rediscovered and reconnected with each other, our relationship came back to life and we began to learn and experience new things about each other and with each other. I couldn’t be more thankful for Aloe Cadabra. That it brought back the magic in our relationship, on every level, is amazing. That it’s good for me and I can feel good about using it is even better.

Fun, Safe Organic Lubricant Review

Posted on March 26, 2010

dry-ground Shannon at The Mommy Files has a Bachelor’s Degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development, so she knows the importance of a good lube to the health of a body and a relationship!

In a marriage, intimacy is important…vital even to its survival and happiness. However, it’s hard to be intimate if you feel uncomfortable. Medicines (or birth controls) can cause dryness, which lessen the enjoyment for women in intimate situations. Many women (and men) try to relieve the dryness with over-the-counter products, but some result in uncomfortable reactions to the products. In steps Aloe Cadabra!
