For instance, did you know that it is actually possible for men to break their penis while having sex? No kidding! Although the male member does not have any bones, it can still break and get fractured if the man is too rough during sex. Such an injury is more common in younger males than older ones (for obvious reasons). This injury can be extremely painful and take a long time to heal.
Here's another sex fact that is not common knowledge - Kissing can help to reduce dental problems such as tooth decaying! More saliva is produced in the mouth when you kiss and as saliva helps to clean your mouth of bacteria, the result is fewer dental problems. So if you want to improve oral hygiene, start kissing!
Didn't we say you'd find these lovemaking facts very interesting?
Sex makes you more intelligent
Medical research has found that sex helps to bring about seven different types of chemical reactions in your brain, all of which optimize the functioning of your brain. Hormones such as serotonin and oxycotin are also released during and after sex, which make you more creative and help in decision making.
Older people are doing it too!
Various studies in America have revealed that people in the age group of 57-85 years still believe that sex is an important part of their lives and are in fact indulging in lovemaking about 2-3 times every month. We will have to wait for similar studies to be conducted in India to know if the same holds true for older Indians as well!
Sex can increase your life span
If you are a man that is. Having sex at least once a week, on a regular basis, has shown to increase a man's life greatly. Men are more likely to live longer than 80 years if they have an active sex life. Lovemaking helps to lower a man's risk of death by heart ailments by 30%, from stroke by 50%, and diabetes by 40%!
But women have more orgasms!
Till a decade back, only about 25% of women who had sex actually had orgasms. However, in the last few years, this figure has gone up to about 45%. Women today also do not fake orgasms as much as they did and are more open to telling their partners if they did not climax
Oral sex can lead to throat cancer
Medical studies have shown that people who have indulged in oral sex with more than 5 partners in their lifetime are at an increased risk of throat cancer. The same does NOT hold true for people with fewer sex partners. Another reason to practice safe sex and remain faithful!
Sex at work is on the rise
Mixing business with pleasure seems to be extremely popular nowadays. Statistics suggest that 1 in every 5 people is indulging in sex with their colleagues at work. Not just that, but lovemaking during office hours is also on the rise; with the boss's desk being the place of choice!
Abstinence does not work
Now there's scientific proof that claims that abstinence programs just do not work. There has been no decrease in unwanted pregnancies or in the number of STD's in spite of various abstinence programs in colleges and universities. Educating youth about safe sex and the consequences of unsafe sex is what needs to be focused upon.
The world's most sexless nation is
...Japan! Yes, Japanese people are more unsatisfied with their sex lives than people of any other nation. More than 35% of married Japanese couples do not indulge in lovemaking at all. Now that's one problem that does not seem to inflict Indians!
Threesome's aren't as rare as you think
About 70% of people fantasize about having group sex at some point in their lives; with a fair majority of such people actually indulging in it. Gay and lesbian lovemaking is also on the rise.
Chocolate may be better than sex!
Eating chocolate turns you on more than sexual foreplay can. It has also been proved that chocolate consumption accelerates your heart beat and increases brain activity more than lovemaking can. But while all this may be true, people would still rather make love over eating a piece of chocolate!
