'Sexercise' yourself into shape The NHS has some new advice for people struggling to schedule a fitness routine into their daily lives - a workout between the sheets.
According to the NHS Direct website, "sexercise" can lower the risk of heart attacks and helps people live longer.
Endorphins released during orgasm stimulate immune system cells, which also helps target illnesses like cancer, as well as wrinkles, it states.
Sexual health experts said such claims could not be scientifically proven.
"It's good to see the NHS are promoting sexual wellbeing," Dr Melissa Sayer told the Guardian newspaper.
"Yes, there is evidence that sex has benefits for mental wellbeing, but to say there is a link with reduced risk of heart disease and cancer is taking the argument too far."
NHS Direct, however, told the paper the content was "backed by science and clinical evidence" and "isn't just a bit of fun".
'Regular romps'
The advice, published under the headline "Get more than zeds in bed", is one of several sexual health-related articles to be found on the NHS Direct website.
Sex with a little energy and imagination provides a workout worthy of an athlete, the article says.
If you're worried about wrinkles - orgasms even help prevent frown lines from deepening
NHS Direct
"Forget about jogging round the block or struggling with sit-ups.
"Sex uses every muscle group, gets the heart and lungs working hard, and burns about 300 calories an hour."
The advice suggests "regular romps this winter" could lead to a better body and a younger look.
Increased production of endorphins "will make your hair shine and your skin smooth," it adds.
"If you're worried about wrinkles - orgasms even help prevent frown lines from deepening."
The article goes on to say that orgasms release "painkillers" into the bloodstream, which helping keep mild illnesses like colds and aches and pains at bay.
The production of extra oestrogen and testosterone hormones "will keep your bones and muscles healthy, leaving you feeling fabulous inside and out". That advice is a bit more palatable than the usual eat boring foods, loose weight and drink less we normally at this time of year!

I can't wait until I go back to the hospital and see my Physiotherapist who is a bit of a babe....I am wondering if she will be offering this new course of treatment!

Well, it seems like we're out of luck here, because I just read someplace that according to the new Health Care bill recently passed by the US Senate, "sexercizing" will only be permitted for illegal aliens and ghetto residents whose annual earnings are below the national poverty level.

Hell Nemesis, at the rate things are going, we'll soon all be ghetto residents whose earnings fall below the national poverty level.
