Sex, Chocolate and the Movies.

What am I talking about? What on earth does sex, chocolate and movies have to do with each other?

Well suprisingly, actually quite a lot.

Let's leave sex for last.

Chocolate. My personal weakness, and probably many of yours as well.

The Mesoamerican indians were the first to consume chocolate. In the early days it was a frothy bitter drink spiced up with chili pepper. They drank it because of the digestive, energising and aphrodisiac effects of the cacao bean, from which it was made.

Modern science has discovered that chocolate can work wonders for the heart. One university study concluded that dark chocolate may be able to decrease arterial stiffness in healthy adults. Andrew Waterhouse Ph.D. at the University of California says that chocolate contains phenols and antioxydants, which have been shown to improve vascular wall tone, decrease blood pressure, and decrease blood clotting risk. And even though most chocolate is high in fat, the stearic acid it contains doesn't seem to raise cholesterol levels.

The best chocolate to consume, would however be the one with the highest ratio of cacao, making dark chocolate  better than ordinary milk chocolate.

So enjoying a good chocolate, is not as unhealthy as believed, and can act as an aphrodisiac. Is this heaven or what?

The Movies.

Need an incentive to go see a "Chick Flick"?

University of Michigan research showed that after watching a half hour of "The bridges of Madison County" the average viewer had an 10% increase in progesterone. This hormone is known to raise the need to bond with others. So this may make men and women more open to romance and love.

Watching a hard male orientated action movie like "The godfather" was found to raise testosterone levels in men by up to 30%. This brings out the dominating and agressive side of the viewer. So, if you like it romantic, avoid action movies as date movies.

Sex.

The above findings can influence the likelyhood of a romantic outing, resulting in lovemaking, and possibly even determining what type of sex you will engage in!

So if you want to get into a romantic loving mood, have some dark chocolate while watching "Bridget Jones' Diary" with your partner.

Like it rough - an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie may do the trick.

No guaranttees, just some interesting additional facts to consider in your relationship arsenal.

Remember to keep on loving, Udo

Joke of the week:

Meeting The Parents

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time.

Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.

At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.

That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!"

The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head.

A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down.

10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy.

Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious."

The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."
