The Men’s Secret of The Mornings !

All men wake up with a morning erection. It is a commonly known fact, but hard to understand for the females. Morning activities in bed is definitely something that men crave more than women.

But if you think that’s because men want to have sexual interactions all the time, or dream of them every single night, you’re wrong.

A study was actually conducted regarding this phenomena. The doctors have come to a conclusion that it is not the female partner, it is not the wet dreams.

It’s a medical condition called NPT – nocturnal penile tumescence, and is common for all men, starting their puberty, and it follows them through their life. This symptom has more to do with the fact that guys aren’t focused enough paying attention to their bodies.

An average healthy man has 3 or 4 morning erections per week.

The theory the doctors developed based on the conducted study on why this phenomena occurs, is that during the night, while the brain and body are sleeping, the pen*s is actually exercising!

And during the erection, the pens is filled with blood, that hold in that place for an extended period of time, at least until he ej*culates, or maybe, goes to the toilet in the morning.

In the study doctors also concluded that “men will have about four to five erections throughout the night with each lasting approximately 25 minutes”.

Here’s an image which shows the scientific biological process behind getting an erection. 

So, men are “ready to go” in the morning, while women’s libido is up later in the day. That’s also a widely common and normal fact.

So, getting intimate shouldn’t always be in the morning or in the evenings…it should be something you both want in the same time, without trying to please the other side, right?

Women And Men Calories Burned Infographic

 

You've undoubtedly noticed anything strange while at the gym. Perhaps you even talked about it with your exercise partners.

There is a misconception that men can maintain their junk food diet and lose weight more easily. But is it really true?

Despite working out at the gym really hard, do men burn calories more easily than women?

Yes, physiology, including hormones and body fat, is the key to understanding everything. Moreover, time.

More muscle mass translates to greater calorie expenditure compared to body fat. Women often have less lean muscular tissue, as we all know.

Men lose more weight when they burn the same amount of calories as women – over a shorter period of time.

For study purposes, a group of men and a group of women had to go on some popular diets, like Slim-Fast, Atkins and Weight Watchers. In two months’ time, the men ended up losing twice as much weight as their fellow women dieters, and three times the body fat. There is an important but coming: but after six months of keeping the diet regime, the weight loss difference was non-existent between the genders.

Men have a different hormonal balance (less estrogen, more testosterone), and women have more body fat to help them during pregnancy. Those factors change the way each gender handles weight loss and burning of calories.

Women’s fat stores are usually more evenly spread out, especially in the areas like legs and buttocks, which contributes to losing weight less rapidly. Meanwhile, men’s results may seem more noticeable since they tend to lose weight around the belly, especially the changes of overweight men with a considerable amount of belly fat.

So we’d say it doesn’t really matter if you’re a man or a woman. When it comes to getting rid of those extra-extra pounds and calorie burning, patience, persistence and laborious work at the gym or at home is what should matter to you most.

Millions of people all over the world suffer from the contagious skin condition, jock itch. Itchy, rashy skin, and redness are its signs. Fortunately, there are some easy home remedies for jock itch that you can find in your kitchen.

 

Do you have jock itch?

You must be suffering from redness, rashes and intense itching on your groin, inner thighs and surrounding skin areas.

Also known as Ringworm of Groin, it is a fungal infection occurring on the groin area and is characterized by crusty, red and ring shaped patches. It is caused by unhygienic condition, tight clothes, obesity and skin to skin contact with infected person.

Jock itch is more common in men than women. It is one of the common skin problems affecting millions of people around the world.

 

What Cause Jock Itch?

• Moisture, warmth, and skin friction in the groin
• Wearing tight and sweaty clothes
• Using bedding and towels of an infected person
• Using bedding and towels of an infected person
• Having infection caused by yeasts, fungus, and bacteria

Whereas jock itch is treated with OTC anti fungal cream, you can use home remedies to cure your jock itch. Here are some of the home remedies which are anti-fungal and anti-bacterial in nature, making them efficient natural ways to get rid of jock itch.

 

Tea Tree Oil:

Tea tree oil is one of the efficient home remedies for various skin conditions like jock itch. This is because it is packed with natural anti-fungal properties, antibacterial property, deep cleansing, and stimulating elements. The oil soothes the affected area as it reduces the itching and inflammation occurring during jock itch.

It is very simple to use. All you need to dip a cotton ball into tea tree oil. Apply it on the affected area twice time in a day. Or you can add few drops of tea tree oil to your bath tub and soak yourself for 20 minutes.

(Note: Dilute the oil with some parts of water as concentrated form can cause irritation.)

Apple Cider Vinegar:

Like tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar is widely used to treat contagious skin conditions like jock itch. The vinegar contains anti fungal and antibacterial contents. It is useful to reduce the signs like redness and rashes.

Add one tbsp. of the vinegar to a glass of cold water and wash the affected part with that. Let it dry naturally. Do it 2-3 times in a day to see improvement.

Prepare a garlic paste and apply it on the affected part of the skin. Wait for 10-15 minutes and wash it off with warm water. Repeat the process twice a day to have your jock itch healed fast.

Honey

The medicinal properties of honey have been found in the oldest literatures, and since the ancient times, it has been known to have antimicrobial properties and wound healing properties as well. Besides, its high thickness helps to create a protective barrier to prevent infection. This is why it directly attacks the fungus causing redness, burning sensation and itching in jock itch.

Apply raw honey onto affected areas directly to get rid of itching.

Alternatively, you can take honey, olive oils and beeswax in equal parts to make the paste. Use this paste 3 times a day for two week to speed up you healing.

What Men Look For In Women: From A Professional Matchmaker

Some of you might not be aware that I work as a matchmaker during the day. Since I work for a remote business, I have clients from all over the world. They all share the desire to find a partner in love despite having different backgrounds, cultures, and interests. Working as a matchmaker has given me the opportunity to observe some common trends. Many women frequently wonder what men are looking for in women and relationships. Here are the qualities that men seek in women, according to a seasoned matchmaker:

 

WHAT MEN LOOK FOR IN WOMEN:

1. PHYSICAL ATTRACTION

Men are very visual creatures. This is the one thing that my clients stress the most when they are talking to me on the phone. I often have to say “ok, besides looks, what are you interested in?”

Before you start going into a fit of rage, hear me out.

Yes, physical attraction is important but every client of mine has had a different version of “beauty”. It’s impossible to have a complete list of what men find attractive because every man is different.

I distinctly remember one of my first clients turning down all my match suggestions because they were too thin. Another turned down matches because he didn’t like the “model” look.

The beauty standards that the media is constantly showing us, aren’t always the standards that real people have.

If you ever find yourself doubting your appearance or feeling insecure, always remember that real people often have a wide variety of tastes. Remember, you’re trying to find someone to share your life with, not auditioning for a Victoria’s Secret photo shoot.

 

2. SOMEONE TO HAVE FUN WITH

When men are out looking for their perfect woman, the word “fun” is always involved. The definition of fun varies from person to person, but they are all looking for a “fun” partner. Someone to go to dinners with, someone to travel with, someone they can go bowling with.

Women often put the cart before the horse when it comes to finding a romantic partner. They are looking for someone who has a good job, is interested in marriage or wants to have kids.

I agree with the women in that both partners should have similar goals, but this should come later. I think the men have it right by looking for someone they just want to hang out with before they decide if they’re going to be with this person “forever”.

When I hear from people who are struggling in their long term relationship, it is often because one person simply doesn’t like the other person’s personality.

That seems crazy, right?

How can you not like their personality?

Yet, I hear women say things like “he never likes to go out.” “He plays so many video games.” “He is always at work.”

These women are victims of not looking for a partner that shared their sense of “fun” before deciding to settle down.

 

3. A BIG HEART

Many of my clients describe their perfect woman as having a “big heart”. Others have said it different ways such as:

• She cares about me
• She would do anything for her man
• She would help a blind man across the street
• She thinks of others

What they’re all saying is that they want someone who is “caring” and “loving”.

Although this is purely anecdotal, I feel like men are missing that sense of love and caring in their regular lives. So what men look for in women is this sense of emotional support and companionship because they aren’t getting it anywhere else.

Women often have their best friends, sisters, or moms to talk to about the important stuff. They can talk about their feelings, hug each other and cry in front of each other with little judgement.

Many men are missing these kinds of connections.

They look “weak” if they talk about their feelings to their friends.

So when it comes to finding a romantic partner, men are really looking for that romantic and nurturing connection. They want someone who can hear their problems, struggles and insecurities.

 

4. AMBITIOUS

Most of my clients have “no preference” when it comes to how much money their partner makes. That being said, they nearly always want someone who is ambitious and independent.

I personally think that many men are happy to be the providers or the breadwinners. They don’t mind if they’re the ones paying for the vacations or for the kids new school clothes.

Yet, they don’t just want to give that all away to someone who has no ambitions of their own.

If you’re an artist, a struggling entrepreneur or an aspiring actor, all of those things are attractive to men, even if you’re not making a lot of money.

They just want to know that their hard earned money is going towards supporting your goals, not your shopping addiction.

 

5. PLAYFULNESS

This is one that I found really surprising, yet is a common theme among many of my clients. I think what men are trying to say with this one is that they don’t want someone who takes life too seriously. What men look for in women is someone who is able to have fun.

They want someone who is young-at-heart and still has their inner child.

Science has always backed up the fact that girls mature faster than boys.

We women know for a fact that we are more mature than our male counterparts if we are speaking in general terms.

I think it’s for this reason that men enjoy a woman who can take a step back, take off the “mom” hat and just have a little bit of fun.

This is often why women with masculine energy (that’s me!) often struggle in romantic relationships. We like to take charge, get things done and be assertive. Most men either act this way themselves or experience this when they are at work with other men.

I know some of you may find this offensive but I’m going to repeat the words spoken by a man on this very topic.

“I don’t want a boss at home, I want a partner”

 

6. A LIFE PARTNER

Ok, this one seems obvious but a lot of us get so caught up in things that don’t matter when we’re dating.

Yes, men are guilty of this too.

So many of my clients are looking for women “between 5’1-5’4” or “within a 10 mile radius of my home.”

Those things are definitely limiting their options for finding a great partner.

If you are doing this while you’re dating, you are making a big mistake!

When I chat with my clients on the phone and ask them what they’re really looking for in a woman, they say things like:

• I want someone to wine and dine!
• I want a running buddy
• I want a travel partner, travelling alone is no fun
• I want someone to share my successes with. What’s the point of money if you cant share it with someone?

Those are all AMAZING reasons to want a partner!

Then they go and ruin it by saying:

“Oh and they must have red hair” or “Oh and they must have boobs with at least a B cup.”

No, no, no!!

The hair color won’t matter when it turns grey. The boobs won’t matter when they start to sag.

What my clients really want is a life partner who is going to do things with them. A person to share their life with. I try to tell my clients this and to make them have an open mind about how they date.

You should also keep an open mind when you’re dating. The perfect person might look a little different on the outside than you thought he would – and there’s nothing wrong with that.

 

WHAT CAN WE LEARN?

So what can we learn from my matchmaking clients? Why is it important for us to know what men look for in women?

Well, I think when you’re dating and when you find yourself in a relationship, it’s important to look at the BIG PICTURE.

I mean now that we know what men look for in women, is it really that different from what you’re looking for in men?

So many times we get caught up in little details that we blow way out of proportion.

I have a friend who got seriously mad at her long-term boyfriend because he bought the wrong color sheets.

I have another friend who made a huge scene in a restaurant because her boyfriend glanced at another woman as she walked by the table.

And myself, I almost turned down the love of my life because I thought he was too tall.

Whether we are in long-term relationships or out there on the dating scene, it’s important to remember that we are all just humans trying to get along.

If you can find someone that accepts your weirdness and you can accept theirs, don’t give them a hard time if they brought home the wrong kind of milk from the store.

Don’t judge them for taking you out to a restaurant that you think is lame.

Just accept them for who they are.

After all, that’s what love is: unconditional acceptance.
