If love (and sex) is top of mind with Valentine’s Day coming up, then you might be keen to learn that having sex for an hour burns about the same number of calories as 30 minutes of jogging. These are research findings out of the University of Quebec.
A pleasing (or should I say pleasurable) solution to working off Valentine’s sweets and candies…

Instead of luxe gifts and fancy candlelight dinners this Valentine’s, you might be happier to plan a vacation with your sweetie.
A new survey conducted by the U.S. Travel Association has found that couples who travel together tend to be more satisfied with their relationship — not to mention reaping the benefits of better sex and more romance even after the vacation.
And it doesn’t have to be one fancy long getaway. Even a short weekend jaunt was reported to spark romance more so than any jewelry or other gifties could.
(That’s the sunset view from Negril, Jamaica, just a few days ago…sigh).

Maybe this will get you drag-your-feet-ers to exercise — especially to do some dreaded ab work:
Some women reach orgasm during exercise (in particular, when doing core work). There’s even a term for it: “coregasm.”
Other exercises associated with “coregasm”: weight lifting, Spinning, biking, and climbing ropes or poles.
The study, published in Sexual and Relationship Therapy, suggests something new about these experiences — that orgasms are not necessarily sexual events.
(And re: the photo above, isn’t this how we all exercise at home? In lacy underwear with our T-shirts yanked up to our chest? Right…)
