SEX: THE CYCLE

It is said that an ORGASM can burn between 60-100 calories, ORAL SEX can burn off the equivalent of a small glass of wine AND that SEX gives you an aerobic workout, helps you to sleep, releases happy hormones AND stimulates the immune system. Indulging in SEXUAL intercourse on a regular basis OR @ least once a week is good for adults. Though research has linked the act of SEX to an astonishing array of physiological benefits, many studies don't address whether the health bonus comes from the act itself OR from the corresponding emotional intimacy. Nonetheless, the bottom line is that SEX has some GREAT side effects on we humans AND the ability to get our share depends on where we are in the CYCLE. 

So how many of you have heard OR know of someone that is caught up in a storm of SEXUAL disturbance? You have the person has this insatiable HUNGER for sex, another this is LOOKING for sex, someone that FEARS sex and how can we forget that person that is STEPPING away from sex? Now what is interesting for me is that we ALL have been through this cycle before, I just find it interesting because of the paths that take us to these various stages of sex. NO matter who, what OR where we are we humans are SEXUAL creatures; and if we are NOT indulging ourselves it seems that we protest by screaming, then we quietly withdraw and finally after a while we become detached AND indifferent.

However, I have come to find that as I think about the various stages of the sex cycle, I realize that LONELINESS is the MOST common thread that fuels our sexual needs. Though this element is common when it comes to sex and I find that it causes MORE problems for us than anything else. LONELINESS makes us miss and causes us to long for some kind of intimate human interaction, be it a crowded room OR empty shell of a relationship. Moreover, the kind of contact missed varies greatly AND it is @ core of SEX itself. But why are we allowing this happen and can we stop it? I can give MANY answers in response to this question; however I know that we will cast them aside. The CYCE OF SEX seems to have a life of its own AND its POWERS are way beyond OUR capability to find a way out of it. Nevertheless, NO one can deny the POWER of one of life’s GREATEST joy; I just find it interesting to see some the unique situations we are placed in because of it. I find that the FOUR phases of THE SEXUAL CYCLE gives us EXCITEMENT, STABILITY, ORGASM or RESOLUTION…if only we can get them all @ one stage of the cycle. However, what is SO interesting about the CYCLE is that there is NO distinct beginning OR end to each phase, they're actually all part of a continuous process of sexual response. A SEXUAL response that proves that ALL of us LOVE to have SEX; it is just that MOST of us don’t understand physiological aspect of the act.
