The Fifty Shades Trilogy was wildly popular among moms here in the burbs. If you don’t believe me, you should’ve seen all of the happy husbands this past summer. It sparked such rampant reading that one book publisher noted it as a reason for their decrease in quarterly revenue.
There have been many who tried to figure out what it was that made the books so popular. While some men try to claim that they get Playboy to read the articles, women can’t claim that they bought the 50 trilogy for its quality of writing.
Well, it turns out that all of that extra frisky time had some health benefits. In this article from Women’s Day http://bit.ly/UgQmHG, it suggests that time in the bedroom can make you thinner, your heart healthier, boost your immune system, improve mental health and sleep, relieve pain, and give you healthier skin. Some studies have even linked the frequency of orgasms to a decrease in breast and prostate cancer, a cure for PMS, and a surge of the anti-aging DHEA. So instead of worrying about that face lift in a few years, you can save yourself the trouble and money by grabbing that husband.
To help you along, in their December issue, GQ came out with five dirty books for men to read. So I double-dog dare you to pick one up for your hubby this holiday season. It’s for your health after all.
On their list: John Updike's Couples, Nicholson Baker's The Fermata, Alan Hollinghurst's The Swimming-Pool Library, Nic Kelman's girls, and James Salter's A Sport and a Pastime. The GQ article is worth a read because it gives you a sneak peak into each book so you can decide which one that man in your life would like best.
Happy reading and other stuff.
