  • 10 is wrong, or inconsistent. The studies saying endorpines work deal with animas. And studies on humans have been unable to prove anything at all. In fact, this inability to prove efectivenes whatsoever has led many to conclude that humans do not rely on endorphines.
    Does some work? maybe. Do we actually release some that affect the other sex? Not proven, despite several attempts. In fact, several attempts concluded the ocuntrary.

    Just FIY. It's often used as pseudo-science to marked "endorpine sprays" and whatever the hell.

    However that people with an active sex life has an easier time getting laid is probably true. The confidence boost, to mention one thing, can help you get laid. same thing goes with the whole knowing what you want (sex), and knowing how to get it

    • Are you speaking about 10 or 11 ? 10 isn't speaking about endorphins. If you are speaking about ten If you google what i wrote or ask it in question form many sites conclude the same fact. Do u have a link or a study proving otherwise?

    • I meant if you in fact are speaking about eleven google what I wrote **

    • meant 10, and meant pheromones. Probably getting too late over here. And a simple search on human pheromones will reveal they do A LOT of things. Acting as an aphrodisiac or make the other sex find you more attactive is not among those effects.

  • Truly interesting to read ahah thank you ^^

  • Thank you for informing me on all of this. Never knew like any of that. Nice!

  • Some points validated my doubts. Thanks :)

  • interesting take

  • 34 is not accurate anymore.

    • wtf, i bet he he'd pass out if it erects

  • What awesome stuff that nice guys hardly get privelage to. It's true that a man can orgasm without ejaculating. It's the trick to multiple orgasms in men. The muscle that stops us from peeing (PC muscle) can be strengthened to stop you from ejaculating. I have done it while masturbating, when you go to that point of no control you just stop and hold it. But I can't do it while doing the deed, it's damn hard... er... difficult.

    • Interesting :)

  • oh wow... i'm learning for once.

    thanks moddy!!!

  • Wow you must have worked hard on it.
    Great take.
    So much fun to read.

  • 7. A lot of sex can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

    - I heard that regular Sex (Marriage) is dangerous for Asthma patients.

    25. It's possible for a guy to orgasm and not ejaculate.

    - It's called a "Dry Orgasm".

    • I was actually born with asthma. I'm pretty sure it depends of the level of their asthma or the extent of it.

  • wow! I like hearign new thjings thank u

  • 29 if this was true for humans females and males i think 30% males would die every day

  • That first picture is kinda creepy.

    It take more than two tablespoons of blood to get my dick hard lol. Gotta be more.

    Number 10 is interesting. Maybe that would be a good fact for these guys whining about how "bad guys" get all the girls.

    Sex literally is like a drug. It's the same receptors that are activated. This is why people who are addicted to sex are so easily addicted to drugs too in many cases. At least at risk.

    22 is interesting. Usually I have to go pee after sex. The body makes me to clean my system out. I guess some people's bodies are different.

    23 is messed up but fucking hilarious lol. Pun intended.

    29 is very helpful, because I am thinking about getting a pet ferret eventually. That's something I need to look more into for sure. I of course want her to last longer than a year.

    Good take :)

  • I sometimes wonder why I was born male

  • About number 5.

    I ran the numbers on the average size according to the latest survey and got a volume of.7 fluid oz. flaccid and 1.54 erect (I still find it difficult to believe the average guy is that small, that's the volume of a damn shot glass!), which is a bit less than two tablespoons but only half of the erectile tissue is outside the body so it would be more like 3 1/2.

    • From your comment , I am guessing you are much larger than average

    • Yes, I ran the numbers on myself too and it still seems very low, only somewhat more than half a cup but I guess that's the illusion of volume. Also I wonder, the measurement of length is pretty straightforward but girth is more complicated because a penis need not be the same girth along it's whole length (mine is tapered towards the tip). In the measurements of the average they take the widest point.

    • Yea I agree. When discussing girth that matter is much more complicated
