50 MINUTE SEXUAL FITNESS PLAN…

My sexual fitness plan—which you can add to your weekly exercise regimen—contains three components…

1. Shared laughter. Twenty seconds of laughter produces the

same cardiovascular benefits as three minutes of aerobic ex-

ercise, studies indicate.

Studies also indicate that a good laugh strengthens the immune system by lowering Cortisol levels and raising endorphin levels. And—couples who laugh together become closer and more in tune with one another.

Shared crying. Watching a good tearjerker enhances intimacy—and sometimes leads to sexual arousal. Tears, which contain stress hormones and other chemicals, may be nature’s way of washing toxins out of the body.

Couple “erotorobics.” The following suggested sexual exercises may seem strange, but they increase your ability to respond to intimate physical contact…

Simulated sex. Go through the motions of intercourse— with your clothes on.

Genital massage. This type of massage stimulates blood flow in that area.

Dancing to erotic music. Use the muscles you would if you were having intercourse.

Flirting. Arch your back, sway your hips and stick out your chest. And practice sexual gazing and sexual smiling. Both can make you feel more sensuous.
