Looking for a fun way to shape up and burn calories?

You could always hit the gym extra hard, but there's only so much fun you can have on the treadmill... in public anyway!

There's no reason you can't combine some of your favorite activities to lose some of those extra pounds. Sex burns an average of 300 calories, but you can increase that by trying out some more interesting positions while also building up some muscles.

For Men
Lying down is pretty lazy, so it’s time to try standing up! Pick your partner up by the waist and lift her up. Have her wrap her legs around your waist to provide extra support. Start with her back to the wall and then try it in an open place after building up your muscles.

Target Muscles: biceps, triceps, shoulders and back.

You can get a stronger workout by lifting yourself up and down on your toes to tone your leg muscles as well.

For Women
It’s time to turn the tables on your guy and hop on top! Have him lie down with his legs close together and straddle his torso in a cowgirl position. Rather than leaning forward and supporting yourself on the bed or his chest, keep your hands on your side and your back straight and perpendicular to the bed. Move up and down slowly while keeping your back straight. Start off with a little support from your guy and then work it yourself after strengthening your muscles.

Target Muscles: quads and glutes.

You can get a stronger workout by gyrating and twisting instead of just moving up and down.

If your partner’s a little reluctant to try your sexercise routine for some reason, then there are plenty of alternatives. There are mainstream activities like biking, swimming or clothed jogging, but there’s nothing wrong with a little naked yoga!

Sex Can Keep You Looking Young!
Would you rather have plastic surgery or inject poison into your face to look 10 years younger? Or would you rather try something a little more pleasurable?

A 10-year study suggests that having sex three times a week can keep you looking up to 10 years younger than the “average adult,” reports Dr. David Weeks, a consultant neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. "Pleasure derived from sex is a crucial factor in preserving youth. It makes us happy and produces chemicals telling us so.”

According to his findings, about 25 percent of a person’s youthful appearance comes from genetics, but the other 75 percent is behavioral with sexual activity coming in right behind physical and mental exercise.

So in addition to all of the other benefits sex offers, including reducing stress and burning calories, sex can also help you forget all the chemical injections the TV commercials are constantly trying to talk you into getting. A side benefit is that rather than having expensive plastic surgery or injections, you can use the money you save to buy a new car, a new house, or better yet, a nice collection of Adult Sex Toys and Adult DVDs and Videos.

Masturbating for better health

Not that you really need an excuse to get primed and pumped for some one-armed pull-ups, but the health benefits are a nice added extra!

Whether you’re more concerned with prostate maintenance or with keeping your kitty purring, we can all agree that masturbation is a rewarding pursuit. After all, masturbation is highly effective at relieving headaches, easing stress and even getting a good night’s sleep.

Of course, it’s important to employ variety with masturbation. Give your left hand a chance to wind up the old jack-in-the-box once in a while. If you’re feeling adventurous, give your fingers the night off and give your cock a new sensation with some Realistic Male Masturbators, or keep your pussy purring with a Rabbit Vibrator, a  G Spot Vibrator, or a Clit Vibrator. For a little self pleasure in the tub, there are Waterproof Vibrators, and for the anal aficionados, an Anal Sex Toy like a butt plug or a Vibrating Butt Plug is sure to make your self induced orgasm even more intense!  For more information on masturbating and masturbating during sex, see the section on Masturbation at PassionsUnchained.com.

Keep Your Lover Happy with these Four Basic Pleasure Guidelines!

Whether you can count your time together in months or decades, here's four easy ways you can win some serious brownie points with your partner.

1. Experiment
Tried and true, there’s no better solution for livening up your relationship than a little bit of sexual exploration and experimentation! Start with little things like a bubble bath together or some Playful Bondage Toys before jumping in the deep end. Flavored Sex Lubes are a great way to initiate a little experimentation. If you have a vibrator or a few other Adult Sex Toys already, expand your collection and try some items you don't have.  If you haven't tried using Adult Sex Toys yet, there's no better way to experiment than introducing them into your sex life.

2. Anticipate
Anticipation is one of the most sexually stimulating emotions there is, but when the courtship is over and the 'chase' has ended, the anticipation of wondering what's going to happen tonight is gone. Creating a Fantasy Grab-Bag is a great way to get some of that feeling of anticipation back into your relationship. Sit down with your partner and a small notepad or some paper cut or torn into small pieces about 3" X 3". Each of you gets to write down 10 or 15 different activities you can do together.  Put them in a bag or a vase and mix them up good. On the weekends, or as often as you like, draw one of the pieces of paper out and do whatever it says. You can make two grab bags, one for public activities,  and one for sexual activities. You’ll both have something fun to look forward to each time you draw from the grab bag, and when the bag is empty, come up with new ideas to fill it again! If you need help thinking up some things to do, try the article New Things To Try for some ideas.

3. Surprise
Like anticipation, surprising your lover with a gift now and then can help keep the romance alive in your relationship. Candy and flowers are nice, but of course, we recommend being a little more daring and presenting your partner with a new Vibrator, Nipple Toy,  Love Balls, or some Sexy Lingerie to not only help keep the romance alive, but the sex as well! Surprising your lover with a new gift every day will take the surprise out of it after a while, and can get expensive, but between the gifts you can leave a little love note around the house once in a while for your lover to find. This will be a nice little surprise that will put a smile on his or her face.

4. Stop Time
Far too often we get so busy in the daily rush of things we forget to make time for ourselves, and our partner. Between the job, the kids, and life in general consuming our precious time, putting aside time for romance, love, or even something more than a 30 minute quickie before bed means we have to plan ahead. Once in a while we all need to put the rest of the world on hold and set aside an evening or a weekend to do nothing else except spending time with our lover, both in and out of the bedroom. Since your partner may have plans you don't know about, you may want to talk to them about it before hand rather than try to surprise them. Read

Sex tips from the world of science

Here are some scientific tips to 'tapping' in to your female partner's sex drive.
Since every person is different, there is no single how-to set of tips that will keep all women sexually aroused forever, but taking advantage of a little scientific research can't hurt.

Sex Talk:
Men aren't the only ones that are horny all the time. Scientific research supports the idea that women are indeed just as sexually inclined as men when given the chance. The key to getting a woman to open up and get her to express her sexual desires is to be pro-active and get her to talk about it. While it's true that some men tend to 'tune out' during a conversation on occasion, getting a woman to talk about her sexual desires and fantasies is a topic sure to keep any man's attention.
When asked what they want sexually, women are not shy to say "Sucks, not licks;" "A man who worships the ground that I walk on!" and "good clitoral stimulation."
When you do get her to open up and express her sexual interests, both verbally and in physically, you may be surprised how far she may be willing to go. Women are willing to push the sex envelope if they feel comfortable. This may have something to do with how dopamine affects the brain during and in anticipation of sex activity. A recent study out of the University of Michigan found that whereas male rats get a spike in dopamine levels when they smell a female, see her, or have sex. Females get a dopamine spike when they "control" sex by allowing the male near, than fleeing and returning a few times, eventually accepting the male's advances.
So the key here is to give her a little room to build up the anticipation of having sex. The more she anticipates sexual activity, the more dopamine-induced pleasure she will feel, so let her initiate sex when it feels right to her.

Understanding Her Menstrual, and Sexual Cycle:
'Men only think about sex once a day... when they're awake. The rest of the time they dream about it.' While this is an obvious exaggeration, we seem to hear a lot about how much men think about sex, but we never hear about the quantity, or quality of women’s daily sexual thoughts. Since sexual dysfunction in healthy pre-menopausal women is almost non existent, why would anyone think women have issues getting aroused? While being swept off her feet (literally) will make almost any woman's panties wet, and a loving relationship is a big turn on for most women, female sexual arousal isn't always based on romance.
If a woman's cravings for sex during some times of the month, and the lack of interest during others gets you down, don’t get frustrated. Recent studies on female fertility indicate that women do, in fact, have arousal cycles that hormonally affect their libido. Since estrogen spikes right before ovulation, many women feel particularly sexy in the middle of their menstrual cycle, while others report getting wet frequently and feeling aroused right before they get their periods.
This is also due to a slight spike of estrogen at that time, which explains some of the ups and downs of women’s mysterious libidos.

Visual Stimulation:
While it still holds true that men are more sexually aroused by visual stimulation than women, A recent study from the University of Maryland found that because the genes for color vision are on the X chromosome, women have more color perception genes and are actually capable of seeing more colors than men. So if you don’t put much thought into dressing “colorfully,” both in the outer wear department and the underwear department, you can become visually boring to a woman.
New and different visual stimulation is an important part of arousing a woman sexually, so try making some changes in the way you dress once in a while. According to Neil Strauss's modern day Pick Up Artist Manual, women respond to "peacocking," so go for a look that will attract her attention.
While it's important to dazzle her in the outer wear department, it's just as important (and eventually more important) in the underwear department. After all, attracting a woman's attention while you're dressed is only half the battle. Regardless of whether you're single looking for a partner for sex, or you're married or in a long term relationship, when it's time to get down to business and start taking the clothes off, an athletic supporter or a pair of white cotton briefs with holes in them isn't a turn on for a woman. In fact, it can turn a woman off to the point she may put her clothes back on and turn the TV on instead! Men need to realize that they aren't the only ones that get turned on by looking at member of the opposite sex wearing sexy underwear. Women get just as turned on when a man's wearing something more erotic than the the same old 'silk boxers' you'll find at the local Wal-Mart. There are a lot of sexy options for men in this area, but unless you have adult sex store in your area that carries a good variety of quality male underwear, you'll probably have to shop online to find something more exciting. This is usually easier anyway, and to be honest, less embarrassing for some men when they are buying Men's Erotic Underwear, especially some older men when the girl at the cash register is young and naive and tends to giggle, or worse yet, when she has her friend with her and they both start to snicker.

Top 10 Other Things to do with Your Toys
Written by Nikki Daly

10. Smoothie mixer. A waterproof, rotating rabbit vibrators can whip things up in the kitchen as well as the bedroom. Then watch your partner lick that mixer clean.

9. Wedding ring. Was it so good that you want her to be yours forever? Slip a Magic Super Stretch Cock Ring on her finger.

8. Objet d'art. Slap an 11-inch chocolate brown Sean Michael Super Cock with a suction cup base down on a marble pedestal in your foyer. Talk about a conversation piece! The XXX video veteran shared his gift with the world. So should you.

7. Champagne saver. No more carving up the cork to stopper a half-full bottle. Keep the bubbles in your bubbly with a small, bulbous jelly rubber butt plug. Tap for a tight fit. Easy in. Easy out.

6. WD 40. Anal lubes are perfect for greasing back doors – and back door hinges. One swipe, no squeak.

5. Night lights. Get a Glow-in-the-Dark Clone-a-Willy Kit and make a bedside lamp that will keep your romance glowing all night.

4. Gasket. If leaky faucets are giving you a fit, slip on small, waterproof cock rings. No more drippy plumbing – in or out of bed.

3. Cold beverage coozie. Take those six-inch male masturbators, put a little ice in the bottom and slip a beer past the labia and into the sleeve. ‘Nuff said.

2. Neck massager. No, really, I’ve heard vibrators are actually good for muscle aches.

1. Self defense. In the event that a man breaks into your house, grab the King Dong Dildo and brandish it at the intruder. Nothing, and I mean nothing, scares a man more than the sight of giant genitalia that doesn’t belong to him.
