Breaking Dawn Sex Scenes R Rated.

The new installation of the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is set to be a blockbuster with its breathtaking sex scene adding so much to the expectations that – the star beauty of the film and the famous scene’s heroine Kristen Stewart shares – it moved the MPAA into giving the film an R rating at first. Stewart wasn’t surprised at that – according to her, she was amazed and shocked when she watched her character engaged in the love-play.

Recounting her experience to the UK edition of Glamour, the 21-year-old star told there are two major sex scenes in the two parts of the final series, and they were done early during the shooting. She called the filming “weird” because it felt like something completely different, not belonging with the Twilight, as if Bella started acting strange, in a “very surreal” fashion.
Stewart’s real-life romancing draws nearly as much attention, especially when it involves her Twilight partner, Robert Pattinson – a liaison, Glamour reminds, that has been neither confirmed nor denied yet but is quite likely.
Her love affair is not the kind of interest that Stewart is happy to feed, but she says she can understand that people are curious about that. People are wont to speculate, and one can’t get round it, but the actress is not going to let out personal information. Once you do that, she says, “your life becomes a product, and I’m repelled by that.” Actually, she is inclined to find it amusing, and that goes for the rumors linking her with Pattinson.
Stewart started working on the Twilight saga when she was 17, and it took her all that time to get accustomed to giving interviews – though she feels sure that tension and nervousness still surface now and then. Recalling her past days, she says she was overdoing it in an attempt to come out natural because the experience was totally new to her and she was unable to come to terms with it. Not like with her fans’ devotion, though – it’s something she has related to from the start.
On the other hand, being overemotional when you get disentangled from your restraints can be embarrassing, muses the vampire’s lover as she remembers her acquaintance with musician Jenny Lewis.

Best Sex Lasts 7 to 13 Minutes

A recent study has found, that the best sex should last 7 to 13 minutes. Researchers have interviewed a large number of men and women about the ideal duration of sexual intercourse. The following data were obtained during the study published at “Journal of Sexual Medicine”. It occurs, that sex lasting less than 3 minutes is considered as too short, while more than 13 minutes of sex are regarded to as too long. 7 to 13 minutes were rated as most “desirable” length of time of sex.
So, maybe, a great sex all night long is only a myth? And it means, that one could fully satisfy their sexual partner with only three minutes of sex? After having read these data one automatically poses the following question: were the respondents, who took part at the research, able to estimate the length of time of sex correctly? And in general, who is able to watch the time, when having sex?
Anyway, each couple so to say elaborates their own, “effective” duration of sex, as well as sexual positions they like most and that bring maximum satisfaction. I hope, you and your sexual partner have already found them and enjoy a great sex.

How to Dance Striptease for You Man

Striptease is beautiful and sexy, but do only professionals in night clubs can dance it? Why can’t an average woman dance it for her husband or boyfriend, too? It’s of course not the same to dance on the club stage or at home. Besides, not every woman has a model’s body. You feel shy, fear, think about body defects. But every man would like his woman to dance striptease for him, no matter how she looks. Here’s how to dance it so that you look sexy and to surprise him pleasantly.

The Main Thing in Striptease is Your Mood

Even if you learned all the movements by heart and danced them many times, without the appropriate mood you will not succeed in your performance. Set aside all your thoughts like “God, what am I doing?” or “I must look stupid!”. Remember, that you are beautiful and desired for your partner and striptease is the sexiest dance. Planning your performance, chose the movements which would turn yourself on. Then you will be sincere and your mood will pass on to your partner.

Your Image for the Striptease Show

The winning move would be to look new for your partner: choose unusual clothes. For example, if he normally sees you in jeans and t-shirts, wear sexy lacy underwear. It’s natural that your new image should be comfortable for yourself and correspond to the chosen music and movements.

Where to Dance Striptease

Think about where you will dance. You will need enough space, so that you don’t break a vase or a statuette. The best light is soft and intimate, ideally – candles. They not only create a romantic and mysterious atmosphere, they also make your skin look velvety and show off your silhouette.

How to Learn Striptease

Self-confident women could make up their mind to an impromptu, but for those, who will dance striptease for the first time had better plan the dance in advance. If you can, take some lessons with a professional, who would help you to choose the music and plan the dance composition. Watch some films or records to learn striptease from professionals. Dance in front of a mirror. If you are not sure that you dance sexy, record your dance to a camera or you mobile phone and show a close friend you trust. Finally, arrange a dress rehearsal: in the costume and with candles.

The Striptease Show Starts

Starting to dance, don’t be nervous. Keep in mind, that your partner may also be a little anxious, if it’s his first time, as well as yours. In order to relax, you may drink some wine. Overcome your constraint by bringing about some game elements, don’t be too serious. As it is in every game, apply some rules, for example, he may not touch you even in answer to your touches. This would turn you both on more.
The main thing is not to be nervous, even if there has happened something unexpected, like the music has stopped or you can’t unfasten your bra. Behave, as if this was planned, improvise, enjoy your beauty and sensuality, and he will appreciate it.

Natural Aphrodisiacs. Boost Libido without Viagra

I was recently answering a comment to my article “Why couples conflict about sex” and thought, that it would be a good idea to share some useful (I hope) information about natural aphrodisiacs with you. Why? Because today lots of people are crazy about Viagra and other drugs which boost libido without even trying to increase it the natural way. There are ways of doing this, namely using natural aphrodisiacs, and these are available for everybody. So, you could easily try them.

Definition of Aphrodisiac

What is an aphrodisiac? Aphrodisiac is any food, drink or other agent, which increases sexual desire. This covers both men and women. Some things were reputed as aphrodisiacs due to their phallic shape, for example, horn of the rhinoceros. But I don’t believe in magic, I normally trust science. Although it has not been proved scientifically, that particular types of food boost sexual desire, I tend to agree with erotic cuisine: some foods are good for libido due to their health benefits, such as content of various vitamins and healthy substances.

Natural Aphrodisiacs

I’m not going to list all the exotic plants and foods which are difficult to find, but are said to be strong aphrodisiacs. I’ll tell you, what is healthy for the reproduction organs and why it can boost libido.

• Foods rich in vitamins A and E are eaten to boost libido, as they have a positive effect on reproductive organs. Examples are eggs, carrots, cod liver.
• Marine foods are strong aphrodisiacs, as they contain phosphorus and vitamin B. To improve potency, eat oysters, shrimps, caviar and mussels.
• As for drinks, it’s recommended to consume more milk and cultured milk, as they contain a lot of proteins, which increase potency. Vine is also a natural aphrodisiac.
• Other foods rich in proteins are farinaceous foods. They are also referred to as aphrodisiacs.
• Using spices for the food preparation is also good to boost sexual drive: oregano, basil, nutmeg, curry, chili. As spicy foods increase the heart rate, they have aphrodisiacal effects.
• Fruits, berries and vegetables also contribute to increasing sexual appetite. Examples: tomato (tomatoes also prevent prostatic diseases), artichoke, asparagus, potato, radish, strawberry, mango.
• As chocolate has a sedative and relaxing effect, it stimulates sexual drive, too.

Aromatherapy Essential Oils as Aphrodisiacs

Among essential oils for aromatherapy the following ones are aphrodisiacs:

• tuberose,
• ilang-ilang,
• bigarade,
• neroli,
• jasmine,
• patchouli,
• vanilla
• cinnamon.

Viagra or Natural Aphrodisiacs?

Please, don’t think, that I am against Viagra and want to influence your opinion about it some way. I’m not here to share my opinion about this drug with you. This is absolutely your business to buy and use it or not. I just think, that natural aphrodisiacs named above are anyway healthier and good for libido.

Do You Like Sex? Your Face Can Answer

A very interesting study of peculiarities of partner selection was carried out by scientists from Durham University. The study involved 700 heterosexual men and women aged 20-30. The volunteers were asked to look at images of the opposite sex and to judge the attractiveness of these people. They were also to identify the attitude of the people in the photos toward sex, such as if they were interested in long- or short-term relationships. These data were then compared to real behavior of the people in the photos.
Most participants were able to define the attitude toward sex of people of the opposite sex just by looking at face expression and features: 72% of the surveyed men and women correctly identified it. Men and women have absolutely opposite preferences. Regarding men, the most attractive women were those interested in short-term relationships. Women were mostly interested in men, who were looking for long-term relationships, while men interested in short-term sexual relationships were perceived as looking more masculine. The features of such men are: squarer jaws, larger nose and smaller eyes.

Best Time for Sex – Sexual Biorhythms of Men and Women

Can differences in biorhythms of men and women disturb harmony of a love? As scientists believe, indeed they can. Those scientists offer advices on how to find that mutual passion. Psychologists affirm that “owl-lark” couples do argue a lot, it is harder for them to find a compromise, they go out in public less often, and feel disconnected from each other far more often. The issue gets intensified by the fact that the partners obviously have sex less often as well. Surely, couples that have the same biorhythms also may encounter different timings in passion. After all, the female and male sexual sensitivity clocks are very much different. We have to do something about it!

Biorhythms in Our Lives

There is a vast variety of biorhythms. Some have a period of less then a fraction of a second, others last for a couple of years. For each of us an activity rush period is followed by a relaxation, apathy, when we are running out of energy. This is explained by the fact that blood hormone levels fluctuate every hour, day, couple of days, seasons. It is hard to go against this metronome, even for the toughest workaholic and the most passionate lover.

Biorhythms and Sex Hormones

Scientists believe that our DNA has a specific gene section responsible for synthesis of a so-called key protein component. It is a peculiar biological spring, which acts as an initiator for the internal biorhythms clock. Punctual hypothalamus, following its calendar, gives orders to hypophysis, which is obeyed by most of the sex hormones. That’s how it comes around that on some days production of, let’s say, testosterone is rather low, and on other days you are up for feats in bed.

Time When Both Women and Men Want Sex: Study

Do the glorious moments of love exist at all, when passion seizes both partners with equal power? Those questions were studied by Peter Platz, a specialist in the field of issues in sexuality from Hamburg. He graphed the “desire curves” and attempted to find the overlap points between the male and female apogee. It turned out that there are very few of those, yet the moments when hearts beat in a complete unison do exist.

Difference in Male and Female Libido

During the first hours upon awakening, especially after having some erotic dreams, the stronger gender is very much in the mood for an intercourse. At 7 am the male sex hormones activity exceeds the norm by about 20 percent, by 9 am – by as much as 50 percent. The arousal starts to decline by 10 am and then raises once again by 11 am. But here comes the difference, since the arousal in females is not yet awaken by this time of the day. Desire hormones join the female bloodstream only closer to noon.

Best Time for Sex for Both Women and Men

At 1 pm, the male is still aroused, by 4 pm his eagerness reaches its peak point. Attention! Female is drawn towards a sensitive encounter around this time as well. But two hours later, both male and female libido will need rest. To get it excited once again, as the German expert suggests, sport comes very handy.

Best Time for Conflicts about Sex

It may seem that in the evening, the body should entirely give itself in to passion, but that is not the case! This is the time of the most vexing discords. Female hormones still keep it quiet (even if she did not work before that), but the male is eagerly up for intimacy. To awaken the sensitivity of his partner he will perhaps have to use an entire arsenal of his charms, be soft and attentive.

When It Is too Late for Sex

Finally, by 10 pm, at last, she is overwhelmed by the passion of love, but it is too late, since the male organism , although still wanting “it”, is already fighting with the power of sleep. That is why, often enough, after a few minutes of passionate embraces, the male falls fast asleep under the influence of the endorphins, which arrived to the brain during the orgasm. This greatly upsets the girlfriend, who is open for a heart-to-heart talk at this time.

Listen to Your Partner’s and Your Body

Surely, we can not treat biorhythms as a rigid forecast. Humans are not mechanisms and deviations from the scheme proposed by Platz do exist. Nevertheless, the German doctor’s advices can be very helpful for most men and women. The main point is that we should not be easily hurt by a refusal in intimacy. It does not necessarily mean that the feelings are gone, it can very much be the case that the partner’s libido has taken a time-out for a while. Be patient and attentive towards your beloved one; try to find out when he or she has the greatest desire for an intercourse. Listen to your own feelings as well: when you are in the mood for some love games as well.

When Your Man Wants Something New

Iimagine the following situation: it is not your first time having sex, and your partner hints yet once again that it would be nice to try something… And then comes a suggestion for something new, something you always viewed as impossible, unpleasant and out of bounds. Should you reject it right away or take the risk and go for it?

Sex Preferences

Every person has different likings about sex, some parts of it are liked more, others less. It is very rare to find a person to be completely uninhibited and ready to try everything new in bed. This feature of character depends on past experiences, upbringings, physique, and finally each of us has some personal taboo subjects. For some people such subject may be anal sex, for some – sadism and masochism, some may not enjoy doing a blow job. The question is how you should act, when the male insists particularly on the thing that you have issues with?

Are There Rules in Sex?

The main point is to understand that you are not obligated to do what the partner desires. It is not your fault that your body is built the way it is. Sex does not have strict global rules, thus if you do not enjoy something in sex there is no reason to assume that there is something wrong with you.

Oral Sex: Pleasure for Both?

Let’s look at an example. These days we often hear about the mutual pleasures received from oral sex. The idea is discussed so much that a woman, who does not enjoy it, may think that there is something wrong with her own sexuality. In reality, studies show that not many women receive real pleasure from performing a blow job. Most women agree on doing it just so that she can bring pleasure to her beloved one, can show him her love and affection; there are also females, who reject this act no matter what situation they are in. It is normal to have different reactions. Thus, if your partner offers to experiment with something you completely can not accept, there is no reason to force yourself and do it. It is best to resolve such situation by saying:” I do not like it”, furthermore, there is no need to feel guilty after saying no. After all, for a dialogue to be equal in rights not only does one have to possess ability to listen to the partner, but to express one’s own feelings and desires as well.

You Can Always Try Something New in Sex

On the other hand, any kind of relationship, including the intimate one, is always in a state of development. Every time a couple is having sex, they learn something new about each other, develop mutual trust. It may very much be that one day something, that seems completely impossible today, will look like an interesting thing to try. You can always try and then, if you do not enjoy it after all, simply reject the act in the future. However, it may also be the case that something, that seems frightening at first, will turn out to be exciting, interesting, and bring new pleasures to both partners. Besides, it is a well known concept, that a beaten path kills passion. Why not try and introduce something new to your sexual relationships from time to time?

Sex Doesn’t Matter. 5 Couple Compatibility Criteria

Having sex with one and the same partner is boring – at least for women. 60% of them claim at the age of 30, that they want sex with their husbands only during the first four years of marriage or living together. At the end of this time this number gradually reduces to 50%. In 20 years there are only 20% of women, who desire intimacy with their husbands. This has been discovered by German scientists.

Men Always Want Sex with the Wives

The researchers have found, that the longer the woman is dating a man, or especially living together with him, the less she strives for regular sex. Regarding men, there hasn’t been found decrease in the interest of sex with the spouse – this has been discovered due to the interviews conducted with 530 men acting as respondents. Almost all of them claim, they are ready for sex with their wives during the whole period of their life together.

Couple Compatibility Criteria

However is only sex the basis of happy marriage? Psychologists of University of London claim, that it’s not the fact. They have found, that the most important thing for both spouses is to have common interests and approach to life, but not regular sex. They have studied the life of almost thousand couples and developed a list of five couple compatibility criteria. It includes the following:

• the idea about order and cleanliness,
• musical, literary and television tastes,
• attitude to pets,
• gastronomic tastes,
• attitude to porn.

Early Marriage Is Good for You

Everybody knows, that young people are in no hurry those days to start a family, they place career first and family nearly the last; and that is yet the best alternative. Sometimes people find their life partners only once they are in their thirties, or even later. Psychologists believe, that such late marriages have bad influence on the health of the partners and their future children as well.
Specialists from Penn-State University (USA), in particular, are convinced, that when a family is started early (age 18 to 25), it has much better influence on the psychological health of the married couple than a late marriage does. Such conclusion was drawn from the experiment they held. 8 thousand young families participated in the study. By watching those couples, the scientists realized that early marriages help improve parent-child relationships, children in such families develop earlier and have higher intellect. In addition, medics believe, that children born in such families have correctly formed norms of behaviour, and they are also more protected from depression.
The couple benefits from early marriage as well – the living together helps them become more independent and get better sense of responsibility. Work and studies, surely, help as well. Moreover, newlyweds, in contrast to their peers, seem to be in better shape and withstand emotional stress better.

Snoring and Sex

About 70% of men and 40% of women snore while sleeping at night. Snoring can be really dangerous for one’s health, but it also has a negative effect on the sexual life of the couple. The night trills affect the life of every forth couple. There are also many people, who just prefer to sleep in separate rooms, because one of the couple snores. A recent study conducted by British medics shows, that the relationships of the couple, one of who regularly snores at night, can become really bad.

Snoring and Sleep Deprivation

The half of all interviewed couples even refuses of having sex. This happens, because those suffering from the partner’s snore start feeling physical and emotional exhaustion as a result of sleep deprivation. If one suffers from lack of sleep, they can’t perform those duties, which are required of them in life. If this is your case, too, then sex can become the last thing you are interested in, when you feel too tired.

The Snoring Spouse

If one of the couple snores, the relationships become stressed. It can even drive you to despair, when you are trying to sleep, but your husband is snoring so loudly, that even the neighbors can hear him. And even turning to another side doesn’t help: he just falls asleep at the same moment and starts snoring again.

Many women just don’t want to have sex with the snoring spouse, who regularly doesn’t let them sleep.

Why Snoring Is Unhealthy

You probably know, that snoring can be a symptom of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, which, in turn, can sooner or later lead to erectile dysfunction of the snoring man. And this can no longer be called a full-fledged relationship. It’s better to treat snoring, and the sooner, the better. You may inform yourself about the methods or snoring treatment in article “Why People Snore and How to Stop Snoring”.

Women Like Bad Guys

As often as not, women criticize narcissistic, egoistic, and insolent fellows. A study held by scientists from a university in New Mexico State, Las-Cruses city, showed, however, that women can not resist the brazens’ and egoists’ charms and are not looking for a real prince. This fact was confirmed by the study with over 200 student participants.
The tests were designed to determine, how well were the “bad” characteristics apparent in the people they observed: psychopathic impulsivity, passion for exciting experience along with hard-heartedness toward people, willingness to use others for ones own interests, self-admiration. In addition, the students answered questionnaires about their attitude toward sexual relationships and their own sex life; in particular they reported, how many partners they had and whether they mostly seek short-term relationships.

Insolent and egoistic men attract women easier.

The researchers discovered, that those fellows, who received the greatest number of points on the “bad triad” character scale, had the highest number of partners but were absolutely not a long-term relationship material. Their relationships were numerous and random. Those facts were proven in a number of other studies as well.
It seems like we, women, prefer men who treat us the least seriously. And what kind of men do you prefer?

Women Prefer Soap Operas over Sex

Women are willing to go for various sacrifices for the sake of watching the next episode of the favourite soap opera! As British scientists found out, about a quarter of women who live in Britain are willing to give up sex completely just so that they can watch their favourite soap operas, such as “Sex and the City” and the British “Coronation Street”.

Soap Operas Determine the Day Plan

It was also discovered that many women plan their leisure time in advance on the basis of TV listings and the listed soap operas. Some can even lie to their friends and say that they are too busy so that they can watch the next episode of their favourite TV show.

Sex or Soap Operas?

A study was held by telecommunications company Tiscali; 1.6 thousand British grown-ups participated in the study. The study showed that 17% of females aged between 16 and 24 are willing to speed up sex for the sake of a soap opera or to have sex while watching the happenings on TV.

Friends or Soap Operas?

More than half the participants in this group watch their favourite soap opera episodes for at least five times. 12% of the participants said that they experience greater pleasure from watching the shows than from the communications with the family members or friends.

Religion or Soap Operas?

The study also showed that Television plays greater role in the process of building relationships and settling their life than religion does for over 56% of Britons.

Sex Instead of Anti-Wrinkle Cream

It is not a secret that regular and adequate sex is one of the best ways to strengthen immunity. The benefits from sex are so multi-sided that scientists have systematized the data and developed a wide list of good reasons to have sex. You can extend the list with your own comments.

Use Sex to Lose Weigh

Sex helps you lose weight; when you are having sex every muscle in your body works and thus burns calories.

Sex and Self-confidence

Intimacy enhances self-confidence; it is even recommended as “legal” doping for female athletes used before competitions.

Sex Treat Wrinkles

Bed caressing is the best anti-wrinkle treatment since skin becomes more elastic due to oestrogen and other hormones.

Sex and Immunity

Sex strengthens immunity thus it is considered as one of the best preventive measurements against various diseases. There is a belief that sex reduces the probability of developing cancer.

Sex as Stress Reliever

Bed games are great for fighting stress due to the hormone oxytocin which brings a feeling of calmness and relaxation.

Sex Treats Depression

Sex is an effective antidepressant, which helps you forget about all your troubles and worries.

Sex as Pain Reliever

Sex is also a great pain killer. Endorphins, which are produced when making love, help relieve any pain.

Sex Treats Impotence

Recently some study results were published which showed that sexually active males are about two times less likely to become impotents.

Sex Prolongs Life

And finally, it has been proven that sex prolongs life. Sexually active people suffer from heart attacks by far less often.

Every 5th Thinks about Weight Loss Daily

The scientists decided to find out whether people are satisfied with their weight. The surveys have shown that most people are unhappy with their figure, but take no action for its improvement.

It was found that every fifth person daily dreamt of losing weight and about two-thirds of the respondents (63%) said they thought about dieting every time they looked in the mirror.

Every third respondent believed it possible to get rid of extra pounds without going to a gym. 39% of the respondents confessed that they had no free time for physical exercises.

The experts warn that this opinion is erroneous. The problems with excess weight may be more serious and, for example, may lead to obesity, which, in turn, will cause serious diseases. The people with overweight often suffer from heart diseases and blood vessels illnesses, which increase the risk of developing hypertension, diabetes and cancer.

The British researchers have also found that almost half of all the respondents had the habit of eating everything because of the greed and openly admitted this fact. 22% of the people did not think of their figure because of having more important issues.

Psychologists are very surprised by the results of the study. Approximately a half of men and women consider size 42 to be ideal, and to approach this ideal, women on average lose weight 15 times during their lifetime. When buying clothes, 58% of people think about the imperfections of their figure, and 45% of women want to lose weight before the holidays.

The Right Time to Give Birth Is 20-35

Scientist from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (Great Britain) remind us that 20 to 35 is the optimal age for a woman to give childbirth.

They conducted a large study and proved that the chances of miscarriage, stillbirth, caesarean section, and childbirth complications increase substantially after the woman is 35. Moreover, a woman under 35 has 31 per cent chances of having a successful in vitro fertilization (IVF), while women over 42 have less then 5 per cent.

 

The scientists were inspired to conduct this study after noticing the current tendency to have children at 35-45, after the woman has already made her career and got married.
Obstetricians advise women not to try to play with nature by delaying childbirth.

Sperm and Egg Bank to Ensure Having Pretty Children

Families that would like to have more beautiful children can make their dream come true easily now by applying to a new and very special virtual sperm and egg bank

The bank has been set up by BeautifulPeople.com, a dating site that unites good-lookers exclusively. Those who wish to become members first pass rigorous testing including a public beauty test; also the people they are dating have to testify to their passionate nature.
Now it seems BeautifulPeople.com has grown more considerate of “common-looking people” outside their illustrious circle! And if they can’t make an average individual look comelier, they can help them bear lovely kids. By addressing the site’s “Beautiful Baby Service” couples who wish for their children to have a more attractive appearance can scoop up sperm and eggs from the bank that gets its supply from individuals who are “officially attractive”.
This service was established not without certain hesitation, tells the founder of BeautifulPeople Robert Hintze. But eventually the site decided to cater for all kinds of people, recognizing the universal wish to give birth to beautiful kids.
A Norwegian member of the site, James Frederiksen, said that in his country young and robust men see nothing unusual in giving away their sperm. It is natural, he added, that many members would be only too glad to oblige.
Reports have it that the number of beautiful babies delivered into the world with the help of the bank has grown over 600.

An Only Child in a Family is at Risk of Becoming a Sociopath

American sociologists argue that an only child in a family is seriously at risk of becoming a sociopath, – the Health journal wrote. In the course of a study, researchers found that children growing up without brothers and sisters are worse than their peers in adapting to a group in educational & reformatory institutions.

n their article, the study authors wrote that the presence of siblings is a crucial factor in the socialization of a child. Sociologists questioned more than 20,000 children and teenagers. The results showed that respondents who have at least one brother or sister are much better able to establish contact with other children and to resolve conflicts without adult assistance.


However, scientists argue that after reaching adolescence, the factor of having brothers or sisters ceases to play an important role in the process of social adaptation.

Powerful Women Cheat More

It has been found that people who made it to the ranks of power are far more inclined to cheat. That is understandable since power generates stronger ambition that can feed on anything regardless. Moreover, powerful people are likely to consider themselves to be impervious to criticism. That goes for both men and women, although, there being fewer women than men on top positions, they are less vulnerable to the inclination to go astray.

Professor Joris Lammers at Tilburg University in Holland who conducted a study of 1,561 top-echelon professionals paid special attention to the gender factor (which hadn’t been done before). He says that, looking from the standpoint of gender, people are wont to assume that it’s men who stoop to cheating – due to long-distance and frequent trips they have to make and the habit of making risky decisions. But actually no correlation was found by the researchers between high-ranking men and women. It’s the position and not the gender that counts in relation to cheating.

Therefore, when judging a perspective suitor and laying out your priorities, take this factor into consideration as well – a high-position partner may cherish confidence at his ability to put one over on you no matter how sincere his or her feelings for you are!

Relationships Make Women Unhealthy

Doctor of Medicine Alex Likerman together with a group of scientists from the University of Chicago have conducted a survey of 1500 women of all ages to reach the conclusion that women’s physical health is significantly influenced by the negative experience of their past relationships
In fact, the new research reveals that almost 98% of the ladies had a good reason to feel insulted by their former partners, bosses and relatives.

But in 70% of the cases, the ladies who had a grievance or a grudge, experienced permanent health problems. Most experts name such illnesses as heart disease, stomach ulcers and chronic pain. The author of the study says that in some cases, anger is a justified feeling, but one thing is clear: it affects health and relationships in a bad way. It has been discovered that the major part of those 70% of the offended ladies, namely 38%, cannot forgive their former beloved anyway, and the remaining 32% have arguments with their relatives, friends and complain about some abnormal situations.

The experts advise to try and cope with negative emotions, and if one cannot do that, it is desirable to address a psychologist. According to Alex Likerman, forgiveness and the release of grievances does not only improve the quality of life, but also one’s physical health. For this purpose, the researcher recommends to find the root of the problem, and not to wait for the abuser to act. The lady should be the first to seek reconciliation and tell as calmly as possible about her feelings. It is important, according to the scientists, to get rid of the feeling of anger and the desire to punish no matter how the conversation will go.
