Healthy sex, and GO-1A

Why Should We Have Sex? 20 Good Healthy Reasons

And at the other end of things, a piece on the regulation GO-1A banning porn for soldiers. It's an interesting one, not because of the porn ban, what else does one expect from America (yes, go out and fight and maim and kill people, but don't look at naughty pictures!), but because of a side note about how under the same regulation servicemen are banned from keeping pets. More on that side of things here

I was aware of that bias in the piece, but still thought it was interesting. The problem is that in the modern age, sex is only seen as desirable or worthwhile if there's an orgasm attached. The idea of sex as a way to be close or to just have a 'nice time' has been lost.

And while the piece does touch on the benefits of other aspects of sex, it does carry the 'orgasm agenda' as well. Certainly the most actively and highly sexed partner I've ever had probably only orgasmed a couple of times total with me over a few years, but she really enjoyed the sex, often being the one initiating it.

I'm assuming that there's not been much research done on the health benefits of highly enjoyable sex without orgasms. I'll add it to the list of possible research subjects :)
