After all, if you recall from [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=66032), Hiroyuki Nishigaki, another Japanese researcher, believes that if [You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595094724/102-1995166-7685763) you will “banish depression.” Well, according to the reviews, all this book does is cause an overflow of “old black excrement.” YMMV ---

Well, now, **jarbaby** , I’m not sure if I buy all that about losing weight when one does that. _skeptical look_ Oh, wait. I _did_ lose almost 50lbs last year alone… 😛 Hey! What can I say? **Mr Bear** was soooooooo far away all year. It was take care of myself, or stay really, really, really, really, _really_ [sub]\[/sub] frustrated till he came home. I can tell you it’s a whole lot more fun, and burns up a lot more…calories, yeah, that’s it, calories… when you have some ‘help’. 😉 Which is why I wouldn’t allow any passive watching in _my_ house. 😃 [sub]_\_[/sub] ---

Masturbation is good excercise, but doesn’t improve your sense of rhythm. You’ll always be a beat off. ---

Old news. 20 years ago a guy gave me a book that explains how many calories certain sexual activities use…thus you can do other things that use more calories. e.g. get a partner. In ‘Voices from the Ghetto’ a girl said (approx) ‘When a guy & girl get together, the guy loses ten lbs & the girl gains ten lbs’. cute. ---

She published her results in the New England Journal of Medicine stating that 10min. of oogling is about equal to a 30 min. aerobic workout! Men who looked everyday had lower blood pressure, less heart disease, and a slightly slower pulse. I don’t buy that 10min. of drooling is the same as 30min. on a bike, or 5min. on a bike for that matter, but hey, atleast I can claim it was Doctor’s orders after getting slapped across the face. 😃 ---

cyk, I don’t have a cite for this either, but I believe that breast study was revealed to be a hoax a few days after it was released. but don’t refrain from looking at my boobs, if it so suits ya. jarbaby ---
