Women Love more Food than Sex

According to a study, which was commissioned by Weight Watchers, 58 per cent of women surveyed thought about sex at least ten times a day – while 70 per cent admitted to having far more regular fantasies about food.

Researchers also found that when not thinking about food, the vast majority of women in the UK were likely to be pondering their poor body image. Of the 932 women interviewed, two-thirds said they were actively dissatisfied with their size, reports the Scotsman.

Zoe Hellman, a dietician with Weight Watchers, said: "Many weight-loss methods ignore the overwhelming effect of over-eating because of emotional reasons. "Comfort eating because of emotional triggers, such as depression, stress or boredom, coupled with a lack of willpower, was identified by 64 per cent of women in the study as the main cause of their weight problems."

The report also found that 11am on Tuesday mornings is the time women feel is the best time to launch a healthy eating program. Three out of four – 75 per cent – of those questioned thought they would be in the right frame of mind to kick-start a healthy eating plan at that time.

Secrets to Smooth Sexy Legs

Many men can't resist a sleek and sexy set of legs. From short and sassy miniskirts boasting miles of gorgeous legs to long, silky skirts subtly showing off beautiful legs through tasteful slits - fashion is your friend when it comes to accentuating your wheels. To emphasize your legs with very minor adaptations to your normal cleansing and beauty routines, read on for a few quick tips to bring out and maintain a sexy look for your legs.

1. Don't rush when you shave

Nothing ruins a super-close shave like nicks from a hurried shave. Hastily shaving your legs may cause the razor to snag your skin and remove tiny chunks at a time, especially around your knees, ankles and the thin areas of flesh on your shins. To combat nicks from shaving too quickly, rinse away the blood before exiting the shower, blot with a tissue or toilet paper and apply a tiny corner of tissue to your wound. Allow it to dry the blood and decide whether the cut necessitates a bandage.

2. Moisturize

Shine adds a whole new dimension to smooth legs. A fragrant lotion creates softness and newly applied lotion creates a nice glow that draws attention to your silky legs.

3. Use a loofah pad to exfoliate and buff out imperfections

Sometimes tiny blemishes caused by ingrown hairs or minor skin conditions render legs to be not as smooth as they once were. By gently exfoliating at least once or twice a week, your legs can be healthy, soft and blemish-free with very little effort. If you aren't sure what a loofah pad looks like, visit the beauty aisle of your local drugstore, supermarket or superstore. They typically have a beige-colored surface on one side and a terrycloth type surface on the other. These items usually only cost a dollar or two, and they're well worth the investment!

4. Try a vitamin-rich body scrub

While exfoliating with the loofah pad provides a great scrubbing motion, indulging in a luxurious body scrub is as good for the senses and the spirit as it is for the body. The nutrients contained in the scrub potion nourish the skin and welcome healthier cells to replace the dead skin cells shed through exfoliation. Don't just scrub away old cells - promote new ones!

5. Exercise

While the aesthetic elements mentioned above will truly lend themselves to the overall condition of your legs, these products and practices won't do a thing for your muscle tone and body mass. To keep your legs in swimsuit shape all year long, consider engaging in regular exercise several times a week. Get into a good habit of running, walking or jogging, bike riding, stair climbing or doing simple exercises like leg-lifts. Even the smallest amount of exercise can be beneficial to your body as you build your way up to longer routines.

Lubricants many Sexual Experiences more Enjoyable

Though not everyone realizes it, a little lubricant can make many sexual experiences more enjoyable. There are more lubricants available today than ever before - and they are more widely available than ever before. And, contrary to popular belief, lubricants aren't only for people experiencing a lack of natural lubrication.

Couples, singles, and young and old alike are discovering the benefits of lubricant for their sex lives. Whether to make sex more fun and sensual, to ease your way into a new sexual activity, or to remedy vaginal dryness, a lubricant is always a good thing to have on hand.

Men and women sometimes hesitate about introducing lubricants into sex, for fear of hurting a partner's feelings. Will it imply she's not responding well enough or that he's not a good enough lover? The truth is, lubricants give couples the opportunity to stay connected and create some excitement in their relationship.

Part of the fun of lubricants is experimenting with the variety of formulas available. Many people are curious about flavored lubricants, silicone lubricants and those oil-based lubricants of the good old days. Ultimately, lubricants may add to the sexual experience for a variety of reasons and choosing the right one—or more than one—is half the fun!

Who uses lubricants? Just about everyone, at one time or another. Lubricants are a popular choice for women who may suffer from vaginal dryness or pain during intercourse as a result of hormonal fluctuations during and after menstruation; perimenopause or menopause; childbirth; breastfeeding; and simply as a result of stress, including among younger women.

Men and women may enjoy using a lubricant alone or with a partner, during masturbation or manual stimulation, or with sex toys, both for ease of penetration and because some materials dry up natural lubrication. Lubricants are also recommended for any type of anal play in men or women, including using anal sex toys and anal sex, since the anus does not naturally lubricate.

Finally, many men and women use lubricants simply because they want to or would like to or are curious. Lubricants can add novelty and variety to a sexual experience, especially the flavored and warming varieties. Lubricants are also good to have for “quickie” sex experiences, when natural lubrication might not be adequate.
