Human Sexuality

Let's delve into some fascinating, surprising and somewhat funny facts about human sexuality. I find a few of these pretty interesting. Definitely learned a thing or two about the sexual human animal here.



1. Sex burns about 70-120 calories for a 130 pound woman, and 77 to 155 calories for a 170 pound man per hour.
That's saying you can make it all the way to an hour! ;)

2. Humans are the only mammals who continue to have sex past the age of fertility

3. Kissing can aid in reducing tooth decay because the extra saliva helps clean the mouth

4. Most arousing time of day for a man is early morning when hormone levels are at a peak

5. You can still have an erection after death . However, it's not after the most pleasant of circumstances - a death by hanging.

6. A man's beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex

7. Humans are the only mammals that have intercourse in the face to face, missionary position

8. In Sea horses the male carries the baby instead of the female. They are the only life form that does this.

9. It's estimated that there are about 22,500 penile implants currently in use in the U.S.

10. On the same note, about 1.5 million women have breast implants in the U.S. (and growing!)

***The best way to improve sexual function is to quit smoking, start excercising, and lose weight. Of course, you knew that! ;)
