What Makes You Good in Bed?

MYTH:
For better sex, practice stopping your urine flow.

TRUTH: Kegel exercises utilize the same (pelvic) muscles but should be performed on an empty bladder, "otherwise you increase the risk of infection," says Dr. Jill Rabin, a New York OB/GYN and co-author of Mind Over Bladder. For best results, hold for five seconds and release for 10; repeat 10 sets of five a day.


MYTH: You sleep better alone.

TRUTH: Your partner's comforter-snatching habit can rob you of a few Z's, but an ongoing University of Pittsburgh study hints that being part of a happy couple can lead to better sleep. The reason? A mate makes you feel safe and can encourage you to get help for sleep conditions you wouldn't have noticed on your own.

    What the hell kind of story is this? Two little points, that don't have a whole lot to do about sex, and hey, that's a story? I'm sorry I wasted my time.... a sneaky title to make people read it, and then a complete letdown by not actually having a complete story.

    I PREFER TO SLEEP AS CLOSE AS I CAN TO MY LOVE. THE CLOSER THE SAFER I FEEL. IF HE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED, THATS WHERE I'LL BE.
