Men sleep off as a result of several biological factors: First, the obvious reasons for sex’s somnolent sway: the act frequently takes place at night, in a bed, and is, after all, physically exhausting (often more so for the man than the woman, although this certainly varies). So when sex is over, it’s natural for a guy to feel sleepy.

Secondly, research using positron emission tomography (PET) scans has shown that in order for a person to reach orgasm, a primary requirement is to let go of “all fear and anxiety.” Doing so also tends to be relaxing and might explain the tendency to snooze.

Then there is the biochemistry of the orgasm itself. Research shows that during ejaculation, men release a cocktail of brain chemicals, including norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, nitric oxide (NO), and the hormone prolactin. The release of prolactin is linked to the feeling of sexual satisfaction, and it also mediates the “recovery time” that men are well aware of—the time a guy must wait before “giving it another go.” Studies have also shown that men deficient in prolactin have faster recovery times.

Prolactin levels are naturally higher during sleep, and animals injected with the chemical become tired immediately. This suggests a strong link between prolactin and sleep, so it’s likely that the hormone’s release during orgasm causes men to feel sleepy.

(Side note: prolactin also explains why men are sleepier after intercourse than after masturbation. For unknown reasons, intercourse orgasms release four times more prolactin than masturbatory orgasms, according to a recent study.)

Oxytocin and vasopressin, two other chemicals released during orgasm, are also associated with sleep. Their release frequently accompanies that of melatonin, the primary hormone that regulates our body clocks. Oxytocin is also thought to reduce stress levels, which again could lead to relaxation and sleepiness. Now you know.

If you are a female, here is a very good reason to have sex often: a new study by McGill University researchers suggests regular “PVI” (penile-vaginal intercourse) is linked to better memory function in women.

The Montreal team tested 78 heterosexual women, ages 18 to 29, on their ability to recall abstract words and faces.

The more sex the women reported, the higher their memory scores for words, but not faces.

The authors say the findings build on animal studies that suggest sex increases the growth and development of nerve tissue in the hippocampus, the brain’s memory-forming region.

Memory for words largely hinges on the hippocampus, while memory for faces relies, to a greater extent, on surrounding “extra-hippocampal structures,” they write in Archives of Sexual Behavior.

It’s not clear, however, how much sex women need to engage in, in order to reap the potential memory benefits, or whether other variables might be at a play. Asks Forbes.com, “Did the women who had sex more frequently have different types of jobs that train memory better, or were they from families that played Scrabble much more frequently?”

The study, and small sample size, doesn’t prove cause and effect. And it’s a classic chicken-and-egg dilemma: if the correlation holds, what came first — better memory, or more sex?

“We’re not advocating people go out and have sex,” said first author Larah Maunder.

“It could be people who happen to be healthier, have less depressive and less anxiety symptoms are more likely to have sex, and also are better at memorizing things because they might not be distracted by those other feelings,” she said.

Still, the Montreal team believes it is the first to explore the frequency of sex on memory in young women.

Studies in rats found those copulating once a day for 14 days scored higher on memory tasks than “sexually naive” rats. The sexually active rodents also showed an increase in the number of new neurons in the hippocampus.

In the McGill study, the women had to memorize a series of faces and abstract words (intangible nouns that are harder to picture, such as “chastity” compared to “chair.”)

They also completed a questionnaire that asked, among other things, how frequently they had sex in the previous month (from “I’m not having sex at all”, to once a day or more.)

“We found a significant relationship between how often the women had self-reported having sex and their score on the memory test for abstract words,” Maunder said.

There are a number of possible explanations why intercourse might generate neurons in the hippocampus, and/or improve memory, she and her colleagues write.

Sex is a form of exercise, and rodent studies have found associations between running, neurogenesis and enhanced cognition.

The “rewarding” aspect of mating might also boost neurogenesis, they said, while engaging in sex decreases stress and symptoms of depression — both of which can impair memory function.

The researchers are conducting similar experiments, in men. “Preliminary results suggest something similar might be going on for them, too,” Maunder said.

Drinking and smoking go hand in hand for some people, and quitting both at the same time can be difficult. Recovery should be about experiencing freedom and a commitment to living addiction-free. Therefore, follow these simple tips:
Write down how alcohol and tobacco affect you. Having a written record of the negative effects of alcohol and tobacco will serve as a constant reminder of why you have chosen to quit. Keep it in a place you can reference it easily. Reflect on any decreased physical or mental health as a result of tobacco and alcohol. Think of financial costs alcohol and tobacco cost you. Find your triggers. Use a notebook to record the times throughout the day you smoke or drink alcohol. Record what feelings or situations preceded using alcohol and tobacco. Avoid situations that may trigger you in the future. A trigger could be getting into an argument with your family or something not going well. Because alcohol and nicotine are highly correlated substances, one can trigger the other. For example, if you begin drinking, you may want to have a cigarette.
Avoid places where people smoke or drink. Being near places where smoking and drinking are encouraged can be dangerous when you are trying to quit. Avoid bars and other places where alcohol and tobacco are likely to be used. Take a break from people who regularly drink/smoke. Surrounding yourself with people that engage in behaviors you are trying to avoid can be tempting. Avoid high risk situations. High risk situations can include feeling lonely, tired, angry, and hungry. These situations can leave you feeling vulnerable and more prone to use alcohol or tobacco. Make sure you get enough sleep, eat throughout the day, and don't isolate yourself socially to avoid these high risk situations. If you feel anger coming on, remind yourself to relax and let it without depending on alcohol and cigarettes.
an exercise program. Exercise often helps reduce withdrawal symptoms, and it gives you something to do when you get a craving. Exercise also helps reduce daily stress, relaxes the mind and body, and helps repair some of the damage smoking has done to your health.
Breathe deeply to help yourself relax, drink lots of water to keep your hands and mouth busy (it helps flush the toxins from your system, and you can raise a glass to your success) and thank me later. Good luck.

Ya, you definitely will be moving on if and when you confess like the good husband you are. Let me assist you on how to start just in case you are not sure; cuddle her and put her breasts in your mouth, then quip, "baby, it tastes like your baby sister's breasts which I sucked few days ago and am very sorry". Her response will be, oh ya, you sucked my sister's breasts, thanks for the confession, can we now move on. Her lawyer will move a copy of divorce papers unto your sorry ass and that will get you moving on separately.

I want to marry very soon. Any interested, serious and God fearing female please me. Must be at least 31 yrs old and a graduate. Am financialy stable so, it doesn't matter if you have a job or not, we will be financially comfortable. Only serious minded responses please. Thanks. I will give you my no and email when the time comes.

Retarded

She has been giving you money in six figures severally, and you pocketed them and I take it that your dad whom you say will object to the marriage knew nothing about the money, abi. Boy you are very wicked. Ask yourself a simple question: how will you feel if that happens to your sister or daughter. Now you have become Mr. Trump, you want us to be civil in responding to your crab while deep down, you are just an ape crawling in human shade. You must have lost your mind. When you were egging her on, taking her hard earned money in six figures severally and also fucking her, you did not know she was older than you, not flashy enough, none talkative, none "naggish", none cantankerous, (since that is what you want in a wife), extrovert, not your type and all those other unprintable crap oozing out of your smelly, rotten and odorous mouth. I will her in prayers if you leave.

Tell her you will lend the money on one condition only, i.e., in the presence and with the approval of the husband. If she disagrees, stay away from her and stop making excuses for keeping in touch with a married woman and mind you own business, am sure you have your own personal problems to deal with; if you don't have your own problems, create one or we will ask God to give you abundant issues to deal with, something to keep your mind, brain, cell phone, finger and mouth away from a married woman. Get it? Am sure you empathize with her each time she complains, which makes you a potential home wrecker.

No 1., Be extremely sensitive and careful with relationship matters, that is, avoid sexual assault issues, spousal wahala, breakups, child or out of wedluck births otherwise you will pay alimony and child the rest of your natural life.

First, the kid by the name "Zaramdgreat" who said you didn't beg her obviously doesn't know or comprehend the meaning of donate, the gravity of your health condition and the concomitant selfless sacrifice by your girlfriend. Donation means a gift which is given for a good or worthy cause; she donated because it was a worthy cause, a life and death situation for you. You don't need to be a medical practitioner to appraise and appreciate the fact that a functioning kidney is a "sine qua non" to good health and life. Meaning that you may not be here seeking an opinion if she didn't donate the kidney. What sacrifice can be greater than that? Isn't that enough for you to love her to death? Yes the grass is always greener on the otherside until you hop to that otherside. Frankly, you have to be extremely heartless to even think of dumping her but it's your conscience and you have to live with it when all said and done.

And which god were you praying to? The one from your village? And what request did you ask for? Erectile dysfunction? 5 rounds of sex with a man who is not even your fiancé and pray after that, you truly need deliverance.

You smoked again, I told you to stop weed so you can stop Hallucinating and hearing things like, I am rich or seeing double when you are actually blind. Blind people don't see.

Once they are in power and paid with public money, they travel and travel and travel to all nooks and crannies of the world and in the most expensive attires with a tractor trailer load of entourage. Why? Why are we so cursed and why do we have such fish brain in Nigeria. Jesus wept.

She will promote you to a senior receptionist. Ewu tombia.

Bros, granted that the mgt treated you unfairly, however, you are gay, pure and simple. You never denied the allegation instead, declined invitation from one of your female bosses for a free Bleep to prove your heterosexual and don't have female friends to drag to mgt to prove you are not gay. Common, in Nig with the most female population looking for men and you couldn't find one to go with you to show you are straight. Instead you cried, for what. I can read your body language from your writeup and it smells gayish, very gayish bros. What you do with your life should be very private, unfortunately, Nig is legislatively and culturally anti-gay and your gayish walks, body gestures particularly the female soft hand swings in the air, ass gyrations and soft voice is probably too creepy for their customers. Otherwise, how did they even think you are gay, am sure not every staff is accused of the same gayish manerism.

You are not just ignorant, you are stupid, retarded and simply sick. You just made the job of the prosecutor easy and I wish the girl could print this, take it to the police, it would be the simplest sexual assault case of the century to prove in a court of law. What an ape. If you wanted money for sex trade by barter relationship, why not go to a brothel, animal. I hope you contracted one of those stds or even hiv for a good lesson. To say you are disgusting is simply an understatement.

Consider the following tips:
1.Apply an antiperspirant at bedtime. This gives the product a chance to work while you sleep and are not sweating. If you apply antiperspirants after showering in the morning, the sweat you accumulate will wash away the product and render you defenseless against daytime sweating. , deodorants do not prevent sweating. They mainly mask the smell of the sweat on your skin. Antiperspirants are chemical agents that reduce sweating. Many antiperspirant preparations also contain a deodorant, which helps to mask the smell. Check the product you use to make sure it contains an antiperspirant. A good product to consider is hydrosol antiperspirant, very effective.
2.Keep your underarms dry. Bacteria have a hard time breeding in dry areas of the body.
3.Try a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water to fight body odor. Use 1 teaspoon of peroxide (3%) to 1 cup (8 ounces) of water. Wipe this on affected areas (underarm, feet, groin) with a washcloth. This may help destroy some of the bacteria that creates odor.
4.If sweat from working out is your No. 1 cause of body odor, wash your workout clothes often. Sweaty gym clothes are a bacteria-breeding ground.
5.Change your diet. Sometimes, fatty foods, oils, or strong-smelling foods such as garlic, curry, and onions, can seep through your pores and cause body odor.
6.If you have excessive sweating (called hyperhidrosis), talk to your doctor. There are a few treatment options for those with more severe sweating who desire more aggressive treatments. Also, certain medical problems can lead to excessive sweating. Your doctor can make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
7. Shaving your underarm regularly will help prevent the accumulation of bacteria and can reduce sweat and odor.
Goodluck.

You want to divorce because she lied about her age, amadioha punish you 100 times, stupid. When you agreed to be together in sickness and health, wealth and poverty etc, did you not mean it. Where in the bible or social contract either statutory or common law does it advocate divorce in a whim. The Bible does not and the laws of man give only 3 conditions for divorce: Separation, adultery and cruelty and you want to divorce over age. Granted it may dent your trust in her but for crying out aloud, divorce is simply inconceivable for lying about age. Why don't you say you are seeing some younger person or cheating and tired of your wife and therefore looking for the flimsiest excuse to get ride of someone that has two beautiful kids for you. Are you ok or abi craze de worri u?

Those advising you to move on and the kids will come back obviously do not have kids. Your kids need you just as much as you need them. The kids need the nurturing from both parents. Fathers raise kids differently from mothers because we come from two different perspectives in life. Your kids need that balance and benefit of upbringing from those two perspectives. More importantly, the way she left implicitly means that she is habouring animosities towards you based on her own imaginary and utopian world devoid of your circumstances and reality. She is dislusioned that you are not delivering the "good" life for her. Perhaps she married you under those expectations or based on promises you made or she perceived. It doesn't now, if you do not intervene now, she is likely to poison the kids' minds towards you by saying uncharitable things in both subtle and verbal ways. If you do not intervene in a timely fashion, don't surprise the hostile attitude towards you from the kids, believe me, it will happen and happen very fast. Consequently, the kids will perceive you as a run a way father and may not forgive you so easily. Once the bond is elastically over stretched, the disconnect may never be reversed when they are matured. Put differently, if you are absent in their lives, they will resent you and you have from now before they turn 14, a teenage age when most of our lives' attributes are formed and shaped. Human beings begin to internalize events in their lives as early as three years. They will how their mother suffered and sacrificed to raise them and wonder what kind of dad you are and no amount of explanation from you can disabuse them of that ingrained memory. I strongly suggest you meet with her mother and diligently make effort even to a fault and speak with her. She is your wife, she may not be rational in this regard but as a man, she needs your effort to bring her back to reality because she is going through a phase. I suggest you ignore friends who may laugh and call you unprintable names because they are not in your shoes and don't understand why you the dogged effort to bring her back. A philosopher once said that, "in every relationship, one person must play the fools part" for it to succeed. Every family has issues and until they confine in you, you may never know what they are going through. My father once said that, "until you sleep with someone on the same bed, you will never know how their mouth smell", literally. Go and get your family. That is what a good husband/father does. It may take a lot of persuasion to get her to come on board either out of pride or irrationality, but persist for the sake of the children. Confine on someone she respects and listens to if all efforts fail and let the person speak with her. It is imperative you raise your kids or you will be sorry in no distant time. Goodluck.

Are you done?

As the saying goes, sticks and stones may break our bones, but words can still totally hurt us. And the words we use say quite a lot , especially the dirty ones. “Profanity is a gold mine,” writes Benjamin K. Bergen, a professor of cognitive science at the University of California. They’re the most potent, because they have a “direct line to the emotions.” We can use them to inflict pain or make discomfort more tolerable, express frustration or abuse, feel excitement and even enhance sexual arousal. These words elicit the strongest emotions in the English language, “the fastest pulse, the sweatiest palms, the shallowest breathing.” So what does that say ?
1.While historical religiosity is the best predictor of whether language will have a system of profanity, the second best marker is language relating to sex and sexual acts, the third being bodily functions and, finally, slurs. Across the world, profane language tends to come from at least one of these four domains.
2.Damage to language-ing brain regions doesn’t impair all language equally. In fact, frequently, even when brain damage reduces most language, people can still swear. And people with brain damage swear a lot, for obvious reasons, meaning the automatic, reflexive swearing that bursts out of us when we stub a toe or drop something uses different parts of the brain than the rest of language.
3.Dirty words don’t have to be spoken — they can be expressed in gestures. Take, for example, the most iconic: The Finger. The earliest record of it dates back to ancient Greece in playwright Aristophanes’s 419 BC play The Clouds, in which Strepsiades gives Socrates, well, The Finger, before wagging his joystick at him. Back then, it was called the digitus impudicis, a.k.a. the “indecent finger.” Rumour has it, the emperor Caligula belittled his subjects by making them kiss his middle finger rather than his hand.
4.When words become profane, it’s a social change based on cultural beliefs, norms and expectations. What’s acceptable in one place at one time may not be in another. The name “Richard” was most popular in the ‘20s and ‘30s, but by the ‘60s, it began to phase out; no more Dicks. Just as you can no longer say “nice Kitty-Cat” and hope everyone knows you’re referring to a cat. Those in close geography and similar social demographics tend to disseminate the same language between them (ex. the relatively recent spread of “MILF” throughout fraternities).
5.Kids swear, too, with their knack for picking up on what their parents, teachers and peers say, and four-letter words aren’t too tough to grasp as a toddler. But even so, it’s the low-key swears that float their boat: “oh my god,” if you consider that a swear, is the most common profane expression used by girls aged one through 12, while “poo” is the most common for boys in the same age range.
