Romantic Getaway, Indeed

Is sex better on vacation? It is, if you believe a recent survey by Hyatt Resorts and Honeymoon Magazine. The hotel resort and the publication found that 64% of respondents say making love on vacation beats the pants off the same experience at home. The survey also revealed that a couple would allot, on average, two hours a day to lovemaking on vacations. Of course, the same couples also said they devoted three hours to shopping. You’ve got to keep your priorities straight--even on vacation.

Many casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas began stocking the equipment after gamblers became a little too excited when they hit--and missed--the jackpot.

Soothes the Savage Beast

What’s one of the best ways to lower a man’s testosterone levels? Marry him. According to research by two Pennsylvania professors, testosterone--the hormone thought to contribute to aggressive and dominating behavior--drops once men tie the knot. Researchers believe levels fall because married men are in less competition for women, and they also benefit from spousal support. But don’t marry on a whim--testosterone levels rise upon divorce.
