So now it's November... educational ? You know how some days you see a link and think "what the..." and you get a laugh or get annoyed you were sucked in by it. Today was one were a laugh took me to another on to another and then found a topic that I thought "oh yeah I've been meaning to look that up" Today was one of those days. After 5 or 6 clicks & several good laughs I saw a link to a site for cat & health. I have a cat hanging around the place that was abandon when it's owners moved. It gets along really well with one of my cats, the other not so much. Over the last 3 months built some trust so it will let me pet him and handle/examine him but not pick him up - but only if my cat is near by. It has stopped running away from me yet still stays an arm length away or so, again unless my cat is near by. Found some useful info to confirm what I was thinking and how I had treated some injuries etc. After that I clicked to another page, and on that page was a link to an article called "Surprising Health Benefits of Sex" ...and I thought - OK what kinda scam is this... but, it had my attention, and had to go look. Turns out it's a slide show type article. Since I know Adult Dating zone site does do edit/ "police" for websites, contact info etc I added some spaces to break up the site name. Seems to be a good site for general info as well. medicinenet . com / sexual_health_pictures_slideshow / article . htm If you would like a brief overview continue - if not... guess we're done here... From slide one: Sexual Health - When you're in the mood, it's a sure bet that the last thing on your mind is boosting your immune system or maintaining a healthy weight. Yet good sex offers those health benefits and more. That's a surprise to many people, says Joy Davidson, PhD, a New York psychologist and sex therapist. "Of course, sex is everywhere in the media," she says. "But the idea that we are vital, sexual creatures is still looked at in some cases with disgust or in other cases a bit of embarrassment. So to really take a look at how our sexuality adds to our life and enhances our life and our health, both physical and psychological, is eye-opening for many people." Sex does a body good in a number of ways, according to Davidson and other experts. The benefits aren't just anecdotal or hearsay -- each of these health benefits of sex is backed by scientific scrutiny. --------- I have heard the many "volunteer for drug trial" ad's...

But they found men who had five or more ejaculations weekly while in their 20s reduced their risk of getting prostate cancer later by a third.
