But It’s Good For You…

Posted under How I See It, Wife

 As a man with too much time on his hands, I’ve had the opportunity to explore many things.  My wife says that’s what makes me dangerous.  She’s probably right.

Our home is subscription central.  We have more magazines lying about that I’m sure a small forest could have been saved.  My wife ends up with Redbook, Shape, Woman’s Health and numerous other ”girlie” magazines that tend to lower my testosterone.  In my spare time, which we all can agree is way too much, my curiosity had me glancing through these magazines hoping to get a glimmer into the female psyche.  Okay, stop laughing… 

You know what I found out?  According to these “highly informed” magazines, women are obsessed with losing weight and sex. 

The losing weight I can’t help with.  I’m struggling with that myself.  Being unemployed allowed me to be a “bit lazy” when it came to exercise.  Thank God my wife bought me that gym membership last week.  Now, I just need to find the gym.

According to these well informed articles, sex will do the following for you:

  • Help you to lose weight, burns calories
  • Reduces wrinkling
  • Helps prevent heart disease
  • Helps to relieve stress
  • Can keep cancer away
  • Good for the brain
  • Good for the skin
  • Good for headaches

You would think with all of these health benefits, why would any couple ever think about getting out of bed.  Hell, if we all stayed horizonal (or vertical, or upside down, or backwards) wouldn’t we all be much more healthier? 

I’m just saying…
