‘A home is where the heart is’, is a very apt saying and it will be rightly apt to say that ‘BEDROOM’ is the most important chamber of your home heart, for it is the most personal, intimate room of your house. It is that peaceful and serene corner of your house, which, if decorated and set up unsuitable manner, can flash up and ignite the love life of the couples.

So, all those couples who wish to spend time together with a sense of stillness, inspiring romance, the following tips will be worth the effort:

1. Appropriate and apt lighting: Both Vaastushastra and fengshui consider appropriate and apt lighting as the most vital factor, as it encourages positivity and creates just the right ambience required by the couples to get intimate and strengthen their relationship. Let the sunshine brighten up your special room during the daytime as it brings in positive energy.

Asthma May Increase the Hazard of Impotence

There is some bad news for men suffering from asthma, as if battling this sickness was not bad enough; now according to a study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine asthma maybe a significant risk factor for impotence in men. The study which was approved out in Taipei, Taiwan was prepared on 3466 men aged between 18 to 55 years. The study finished that asthma could cause erectile dysfunction in men and the risk increased in direct proportion to the severity of asthma.

So now asthma can be added to the long list of other medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure etc which can causes men to suffer from erectile dysfunction or impotence. This is an important growth because of the high number of people who suffer from asthma in India; especially worrying is the rise of asthma cases in the major metropolitan cities like New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata mainly due to the increase in vehicular and industrial pollution.

Though it’s still unidentified whether the treatment of asthma will reduce the risk of patients from developing erectile dysfunction, it would be prudent for these patients to treat their asthmatic condition as soon as possible.

Sexologists also need to take a note of this growth and follow further related studies to decide if detection of asthma needs to be used in the process of diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Are Genes To Be Blamed For Infidelity?

O.K. here is something to think about, as and how the genetic research technology improves; more and more human traits are being linked to genes. The latest of these is these are infidelity. The gene DRD4 is now being linked to that one very controversial human tendency -”infidelity”.

Researchers did a DNA sampling on 181 young adults and found that 50% of those with 7R+ variation of the gene DRD4 had been unfaithful when compared to 22% of these who did not have that particular genetic variation.

Though this a small study and undoubtedly more extensive and intensive research needs to be done, it does pose a more important question for us to ponder upon; namely can infidelity be justified? And in my personal opinion, the answer is a big NO.

What makes us unique in the animal kingdom is our ability to think and live by certain moral and social codes. Promiscuity and infidelity are two things on which we have great control, because we have a choice, and it is up to us to decide whether we are unfaithful to our partner or not.

Just because science may find links between genes and our behavior we cannot justify our transgressions especially where infidelity is concerned. The social and moral consequences have to be faced not only by the transgressor but also by his or her partner and it is not fair on them

Essence of the Health Benefits of Sex

As you may have noticed in some of my previous posts; sex has numerous health benefits, some more clear than others. These have been backed by numerous studies done over the last few decades. Now I realize some of these studies were conclusive and some not so, even then the overall psychological and physical benefits of having sex are many here is a list of a few of them:

• The Feel Good factor: Arousal releases chemicals like dopamine which makes us feel rewarded.
• Relieves Pain: The hormone oxytocin is increased by indulging in sex and this increases endorphins which are the body’s natural pain reliever. It helps alleviate back aches, headaches, joint pains etc for a short time.
• Helps To Handle Stress: Having regular sex helps in handling stressful situations better.
• Helps Prevents Heart Ailments: Men who have 3 or more orgasms per week are 50% less likely to suffer from heart attacks than men who don’t.
• Helps Increase Energy: Sex boosts the levels of testosterone in men, which in turn helps in building stronger muscles and also energizes the body.
• Reduces The Risk Of Prostate Cancer: Having frequent sex helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men.
• Extends Life In General: People who indulge in frequent sex are likely to live much longer than folks who don’t.

So as you can see having frequent sex is definitely beneficial for your health, but what you have to keep in mind is that it is not only important to increase the frequency of sexual intercourse but also that sex is meaningful, in other words you need to improve the quality along with the quantity of sex for you to benefit from it.

To achieve this you need to more attune to not only your own sexual needs but also those of your partners and not indulge in unprotected sex. Inform yourself by researching or by consulting a qualified sex therapist.
