Forget gym, Now burn Calories by Sexercise!

Forget running on treadmills or hitting expensive gyms to shed those extra pounds, as now a cheaper way to lose calories has emerged in the form of - sexercise.


A study has revealed that, women are more inclined to have sex after a long day if they think it will help them lose weight.


Research showed that 76 percent of women are more inclined to weave the nocturnal workout into their routines if they think they will burn calories.


And almost two thirds of women who do own gym memberships said they were happier to carry out such activities as having sex and even doing the vacuuming if they thought it would burn as many calories as a traditional workout.


According to Kerry McCloskey's book, 'The Ultimate Sex Diet', a half-hour session of lovemaking will burn about 150 to 250 calories, and even up to 350 calories, depending on just how active you are.


Simply kissing for an hour burns over 200 calories - equivalent to three HobNob biscuits.

"It's about being aware of the small things we can do to give us that extra boost," he stated.

How To Get What You Want From Any Man

How To Get What You Want From Any Man

Are you ready for the secret? Three easy steps to get what you want in your relationship.

The title in this article may have elicited a gut level response from you. If you are a man, perhaps you bristled. If you're a woman, perhaps you thought that you don't need anything from a man, and then quickly clicked on the link. We all want a leg up in life, right? You may be surprised to learn just how easy it is to "get what you want" Here's the answer, in three easy steps:

1.  Ask

It may surprise you to learn that men are not mind readers. Asking can not only land you what you want, but also help you to separate the great partners from the ones that are not for you. By nature, men are providers, but they're not privy to your inner-most desires. Make sure your requests are reasonable, and then pipe up! Don't ask for gifts or money. Do tell him if an event is important to you, or if you have your eye on a specific restaurant for dinner, then have the confidence to say "I would just LOVE to try the new mexican restaurant that opened up downtown with the big deck and the great views!"

Women constantly tell me how disappointed they are that a man did not treat them the way they wanted to be treated. Little did these women know, he probably would have happily jumped at the opportunity if he'd only known how she felt. Women often confuse chemistry with a guy guessing right about something. Give him a break and let him in on your wish list! Step one is all about being vulnerable, not demanding.

2.  Receive with gratitude

If you're not willing to say "Thank you" and intensely enjoy whatever he's just given to you, even if it's a simple gesture like opening your door or pulling out your chair, than you've wasted your efforts!  Born will be seeds of bitterness and a feeling like he's being taken advantage of.  A great man doesn't keep score and expect exacting repayment for his good deeds, but he definately needs and deserves to feel appreciated.  Start practicing by noticing every nice thing that people do for you, whether it's opening a door or letting you go first at a four way stop sign.  Show your gratitude, by looking them in the eye, smiling and telling them how much you really appreciate them!

3.  Dismiss men who ignore your requests

This sounds harsh and selfish, but don't confuse it with adopting a bitchy and dismissive attitude. Remember that if you're searching for someone to spend your life with, that you need to be selective. You must respect yourself throughout the process. This is different than being superficial and picky. Men want to know that you're selective, and that you've selected them. They operate differently than women. They're often attracted to a woman first, and learn to respect her later. Women usually need to respect a man before they can be deeply attracted to him. You must heed your values and your intuition, remaining consistent while you're dating. If you are making reasonable requests and staying authentic, then a man who ignores your requests is just not a good fit for you.

Healthy Love Gestures for you

Healthy Love Gestures for you

If you feel that your relationship has struck a dry phase and the love gestures that were common once are no longer coming forth, it is usually because you have not understood the importance of those simple little things that make a huge difference in a relationship. Not only would this have a positive impact on your relationship, but also on your body and mind.

Some love gestures you should make frequently are –

Holding hands

There is nothing better than holding hands to let your partner know that you care. You can also ease the pain of certain health complications by this gesture. If your partner has a headache, at times even holding hands followed by a hug can bring relief. This gesture is especially needed when your partner is feeling sad or scared.

Kissing

Kissing lowers the level of the stress hormone cortisol. As you and your partner are the only person who can share this experience, you feel closer to each other after this act. Your immune system can develop some sort of resistance by kissing. It may sound gross but when you kiss, the exchange of saliva also exchanges germs with it. Your body needs to produce antibodies to fight those germs and hence become stronger.

Cuddling

The best way to make your partner feel secure is by cuddling. Oxytocin levels rise due to cuddling and levels of stress are reduced. This has a very good impact on your blood pressure as well as condition of the heart. The tickly sensation a woman experiences when hugged by her partner from the back is due to the release of oxytocin.

Listening

Often understated, this is often one of the most important features that can make your relationship healthy. Particularly in the stressful days, your partner needs someone to unburden their feelings. Suitable advice after he or she is done is also needed.

Fondling

Little gestures such as playing around with your partner’s hair, keeping your hands on his shoulders, running a hand through the back or neck, or any other. Your skin sends good signals to the brain that make you happy after being touched. Your faith in the relationship is reaffirmed and this makes you optimistic about being together. So, keep such fondling coming.

Surprises

If your partner has been surprising you every now and then with sweet gestures such as leaving a love note in your folder, or simply calling to say “I love you!” These produce a lot of endorphins in your body, perhaps as much as walking. So, why not start giving surprises.

Dance your way to a perfectly toned body

Dance your way to a perfectly toned body

Ever wondered why dancers have perfectly beautiful bodies? The washboard abs, the toned thighs, and the figure you always dreamed of having? It’s because dancing is enough of a workout for the body. And it is fast becoming an alternative to the gym in Indian cities. Not only is dancing fun and beautiful, and can teach you the grace and poise that you always wished you had, it can also be a great way to lose weight and tone your body.

More and more people are opting for what is now being called ‘dancercise’. The burgeoning number of dance schools in Delhi could be some indicator of the trend. Seema Malik, a software professional, took up salsa lessons because a friend of hers wanted to learn the dance form and needed a partner. She was pleasantly surprised to find that she had lost a few kilos during her stint at the course. “I enjoyed it so much more than being in the gym,” she says. She enjoyed it so much, that three years on, she’s still dancing. 

Parul, a trainer and Mentor at one of Delhi’s leading dance schools says, “Clients are very clear that they want to learn dance that can help them lose weight and tone their bodies. Dance is a great way to get into shape – the salsa is great to tone your hips, the twist is great to give you that Scarlett O’Hara waistline, and hip-hop dancing is a great way to gain power and build stamina.” 

Contemporary dancing and Bollywood dance too is becoming more and more popular. These are not fixed or traditional at all. So, with varied amounts of all kinds of dance forms being used, they make for a lot of fun and help lose weight as well! Seema agrees. She has learnt jazz dancing, salsa, and is now hoping to do a module in belly dancing as well. “It’s distressing,” she says, “after a long hard day at work, where I spend most of time peering into a computer monitor, dance is my stress buster.”

 

The art of sexual foreplay

The art of sexual foreplay

Spices are essential for food to be lip-smacking and sexual foreplay is one such spice in your sex life which will keep you wanting for more. It must not be given a skip because it is physical manifestation of a reservoir full of emotions for your partner. This doesn’t however mean that you must spend hours in cuddling, kissing and using the trial and error method to arouse your partner.

As per a scientific study – both women and men take 10-15 minutes to be sexually aroused. It might, however, in some cases take more time for women to be sexually aroused. Agreeing with this, Dr. Rahul Gupta, Sexologist at Ashok Clinic says, “Women tend to like sexual foreplay even more than the actual intercourse.  In this light sexual foreplay can be a warm up.”

Tips for a warming up:

• Eye contact: They say silence speaks a thousand words and this non-physical act can make your partner go weak in the knee.
• Just Kiss: rather than groping at each other. Close your eyes and enjoy a deep tongue kiss or whichever you have mastered in. It’s a stimulus enough to get a desired response of being up intimate and one.
• Dirty dancing: Well even if you’ve got two left feet it doesn’t matter. Those not-so-perfect moves can be quite intimidating. Krutika says that both she and her partner enrolled themselves for a salsa class. At night imperfect dance moves in served as foreplay.
• Get naughty: Put ice cubes on the nape, handcuff your partner and pour chocolate syrup, whipped cream. Take time to wipe it clean. Of course with your tongue.
• Gentle touch: Give them a love-bite in a subtle fashion and run your fingers through the hair, arms, lips, stomach, thighs. Just tickle. Feather-tickle can work but do it with a look-to-die-for.
• Massage: Dim the light of the rooms. Light the scented candles. Create an ambience -- a romantic one. Play some soft romantic music and give each other a foot or a back massage.
• Denying a touch and wink- It is a major turn on. To check-mate remove your partner’s clothes with erotic moves. Tease them while you do so. Master the art!
• Scrabble: You’ll love it. Do trash talking through those tiny blocks of alphabets. Arouse each other with dirty diction. Prepare some rule-book for it and punish with lets say a spank and reward with a kiss.

Don’t be orthodox and lower your inhibitions to talk about what might be sexually arousing to your partner. It is advisable you do it outside the bedroom because there’s no time to contemplate when in bed. Dr. Rahul Gupta adds, “It will make both man and the woman comfortable with each other and when in action men can easily get an errection and the women’s vagina will be lubricated enough for a comfortable and pleasing intercourse.” Now, how’s that for an experience?

Avoid trial and error method to see which one would work on your partner. Be prepared because he/she might not say anything then but might surprise you with an embarrassing remark, maybe, later. But you can surely be experimental: Discuss and invent with your partner. Who says only scientists can invent?
