- Exercise: “Sexual activity is a form of physical exercise,” according to Dr. Michael Cirigliano of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Making love three times a week burns around 7,500 calories in a year — the equivalent of jogging 75 miles.
- Heavy Breathing: A night of love can raise the amount of oxygen in cells, helping to keep organs and tissues functioning at their peak.
- Strong Bones and Muscles: “Any kind of physical exercise is going to increase testosterone,” states Dr. Karen Donahey, director of the Sex and Marital Therapy Program at Chicago’s Northwestern University Medical Center. Testosterone is believed to help keep men’s bones and muscles strong.
- Lowered Cholesterol: Making love regularly can lower levels of the body’s total cholesterol slightly, while positively changing the ratio of good-to-bad cholesterol.
- Pain Relief: Sex can lower levels of “arthritic pain, whiplash pain and headache pain,” according to Dr. Beverly Whipple, president-elect of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. Hormones that are released during sexual excitement and orgasm can elevate pain thresholds.
- DHEA – Without Supplements: DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a popular supplemental hormone, is released naturally during lovemaking. “Just before orgasm and ejaculation,” Crenshaw says, “DHEA spikes to levels three to five times higher than usual.”
- Prostate Protection: Researchers say prostate trouble may arise or be worsened by fluid buildup within the gland. Regular ejaculation will help wash out those fluids. Be cautious when suddenly changing frequency — sudden changes may also trigger prostate problems.
- Stress Relief: “Sex can be a very effective way of reducing stress levels,” Donahey told Men’s Health.
- Love Will Keep Us Together: Crenshaw says affectionate touch will increase levels of oxytocin, the “bonding hormone.” Oxytocin is a desire-enhancing chemical secreted by the pituitary. Regular oxytocin release may help encourage frequent lovemaking.
- Hormones – Naturally: “Regular lovemaking can increase a woman’s estrogen level, protect her heart and keep her vaginal tissues more supple,” states Donahey.

Slashdong’s Pen15 Board – Arduino Teledildonics Shield
Slashdong have announced a Teledildonics Shield for the Arduino, The Pen15 Board is a simple Arduino shield, built specifically for sex tech and teledildonics research. At its core is a MOSFET, 2 resistors for current regulation, and a jack to hook up vibrators to.
The Pen15 board takes Pin three of the Arduino and allows you to control a small motor.
A romantic comedy about the invention of the vibrator
Bukkake Machine
Over on Fetlife I came across this post. which linked to this video:
Well we all know Mordicus is more than a bit kinky, well I left her alone with the vid to have a shower; and I think that was a mistake…
Anyway with having some time on my hands; I got to thinking about how hard it would be to make one; and the answer is that it doesn’t look that hard
so hopefully; once I get paid on Friday, I will be able to build a prototype pump, using parts from Amazon, and LEGO.
I have made a Bukkake Machine Page under Toys and Geekery for the Bukkake Machine; so as I build parts of it it and the Category should become a build log.
