    Default I’m all about the healthy living.

    It has the look of something that could easily turn out to be a hoax, and a Google search on “Manfred Schedlovski” returns nothing but references back to this one article –but I choose to believe this anyway:

    "New research suggests hot sex can cure the common cold.

    Swiss scientist Manfred Schedlovski claims his experiments show that regular love-making increases the amount of phagocyte cells, which boost the body’s immune system and fight the microbes that cause colds.

    He claims the number of phagocytes - which attack alien antibodies, causing them to self-destruct - significantly increases during sexual intercourse.

    And according to Schedlovski’s research, the number of phagocyte cells can even double after an orgasm, allowing alien microbes to be detected and destroyed more quickly.

    Immunologist Peter Schleicher is among scientists to support Schedlovski’s theory.

    He told Bild am Sonntag newspaper: “Not only does sex heal our body, it also sustains its immune system.”

    I bet they're just trying to raise funding for "further study".

    "Phag-o-cytes"?
    What kind of sex exactly are we talking about here?

    I wonder if they did a randomised trial...

    Well I did notice the other night that although she had been coughing all day as soon as things got, err intimate , she seemed to forget all about the coughing.

    Damn, I'm good.

    She stopped coughing for all of 2 minutes

    It does work!

    I was dying of pneumonia a few years back, couple that with being an asthmatic, and you had one seriously coughing, wheezing fool.

    Yet during times of great... greatness, not a single cough was heard.

    Well, hot sex with yourself apparently doesn't do much because I have a cold right now.
