FTO gene.

And if a little more specifically about the popular gene FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated protein), the polymorphism of which may be associated with a predisposition to obesity. Gene expression leads to variant genotypes: G/G - no predisposition G/A - body weight gain ~ 1.2 kg A/A - body weight gain ~ 3 kg What does it mean? This gene is located on the 16th chromosome. Or not located. Studies show that carriers of one copy of this gene per chromosome weigh an average of 1.2 kg more than "lucky" ones without this gene; if there are two such copies, then the average mass is already 3 kg more.

Myths about genetics.

Most often, we think that in families where all family members are obese, genetics definitely played a cruel joke. But in fact, in the first place, their family model of eating behavior has an influence. Most likely, their women know how to cook very tasty and satisfying, men do not play rugby or football, and one of their favorite traditions is hearty dinners, not walks in the parks. It’s just that it’s customary for them, and it’s very difficult for new family members to break family ties and break into a different lifestyle, because often children don’t even know that it’s possible somehow differently. But from childhood they know how to cook pancakes.

"You're lucky, but I have bad genetics!"

There are women who can eat pasta at night and not gain weight. And there are those who get fat already from one look at a chocolate bar. Is it really all about heredity? Let's try to figure it out. Yes, genetics can indeed be a factor in obesity! Moreover, there are many genes responsible for excess weight gain! But I can calm you down or, on the contrary, upset you: their impact on weight gain is only 13.6%. Everything else comes down to our lifestyle: nutrition, physical activity, stress levels. This means that those people who have these genes will need to make a little more effort and time to lose weight.

Phallus Museum.

This unique phallus museum is located in the capital of Iceland - Reykjavik. This is home to the largest collection of mammalian penises, wildly expensive! Among the most striking exhibits is a part of a blue whale organ. As a whole, it has a length of more than one and a half meters and weighs about 70 kg. The smallest sample is also presented, which is examined through a magnifying glass (and it’s interesting to someone!). And its "happy" owner is a hamster. A funny exhibit - a composition of casts of the penises of the national handball team! By the way, they are not signed, and the fans are wondering whose dignity is the most modest)

Improving the missionary position.

Get higher. By placing a pillow under the buttocks, you thereby slightly change the angle of penetration - it will be deeper, and therefore will give new sensations. Move your hips. By squeezing your legs, you will make your pelvic floor muscles tighten, and his cock will be able to stimulate your clitoris. Look at him. The missionary position is also good because it can give lovers that intimacy that will never be, for example, in doggy style.

Signs that you are bored in sex. Reluctance to experiment in sex.

If offers of new positions and role-playing games scare you, then the thrill of having sex with you is definitely not going to be achieved. Sexual fantasies are not divided into “good” and “bad”, so let them go. Try to start by discussing your preferences in sex with a partner over a glass of wine - this will help you begin to translate them into reality.

Signs that you are bored in sex. Habit of analysis.

It is unlikely that a person can be reproached for the fact that he prefers to think and weigh everything properly before deciding on any act. But in sex, sometimes you just need to give in to desire, experts remind. So to speak, without a second thought. If you analyze every step, then the relationship is deprived of spontaneity - the main quality of memorable sex.

Signs that you are bored in sex. Too loud or not loud enough expression of emotions.

Revealingly loud moans or mooing, repeated repetition of some words - all this is annoying in bed as well as complete silence. But the manner of simpering and giggling like a schoolgirl can also turn sex life into a child's game, and there is nothing good in that.

Signs that you are bored in sex. Passivity.

There are no hard and fast rules about who should initiate sex and be active. This does not mean that you should immediately switch roles with your partner and be active all the time. Just take the initiative from time to time.

Signs that you are bored in sex. Predictability.

In long-term relationships, sex often becomes a chore. If it has come to the point that a partner can predict your every move, this is a dangerous symptom and a signal that something urgently needs to be changed. For example, if your usual foreplay lasts no more than five minutes, try increasing the time of foreplay before satisfying the desire.

Signs that you are bored in sex. Caution.

When a partner precedes all his actions in bed with a polite question “Can I?”, This is not inspiring. The fear of shocking your half by frankly admitting what you really want also impoverishes your sex life. Of course, it can be difficult to decide and tell about your desires, but how else would a loved one know about them?

Signs that you are bored in sex. Embarrassment.

As scientists from the University of Leeds found out, in order to increase the chances of seducing a man, women should give up modesty and bare almost half. The study showed that 40% of the open body makes a woman the most attractive to the opposite sex. But if undressing in front of a man is problematic, or you are afraid to make love in the light, is it any wonder that you are bored in bed with you? To enjoy intimacy, you do not need to have a perfect body. You need to love yourself the way you are.

Signs that you are bored in sex.

Over time, sex in a couple, no matter how passionate it may be at the beginning, ceases to be as exciting as at the moment of meeting, sexologists confirm. But how to understand that it has become boring in bed with you? Read the next posts.

Impotence was among the consequences of COVID-19

Scientists have found a coronavirus in the tissues of the penis of people who have had an infection, and signs of impaired vascular function. The study was published in the World Journal of Men's Health, Medportal writes. In the tissues of the penis, which are responsible for erection, the endothelium is the same as in other vessels. COVID-19 can cause widespread endothelial dysfunction in various organs and systems, not only in the lungs and kidneys, but also in the penis. Men who had not previously complained of erectile dysfunction developed quite severe impotence after suffering from the coronavirus. Previously, the same group of scientists showed that the coronavirus can infect the testicles of some men, potentially leading to infertility.

This method is great for the following situations:

1. Organization of the weekend. 2. Break from time management. Tips: If one day you decide to use "spontaneous planning", try to start by remembering: do you have any mandatory tasks today? Don't forget about "thinking traps". Starting the next lesson, ask yourself: is it really important? If a lot of things suddenly hit you, it's better to return to more traditional time management at least for a while.

Spontaneous actions.

Spontaneous activities are the world's most popular way of organizing your day. Its essence is not to plan anything in advance, but simply act according to the circumstances. When choosing what to do now, a person is not guided by long-term goals, but simply reacts to some external and internal “irritants”. We do not rely on long-term plans, and without them it is very difficult to improve our lives. As a result, the effect of "squirrels in the wheel" appears.

What masculine qualities are useful for women to have?

It's easier to deal with. Most women take everything seriously. However, if some things are perceived more easily and not so categorically, then life will become easier and there will be a smile on your face more often. Hints are not needed. Oh, women love to give hints and expect men to understand them. No, they won't understand! Therefore, speak directly to men about what you think or what you want. Problems out of the blue. No need to make a molehill out of a molehill every time and every day. Most relationship problems happen precisely because women exaggerate the extent of the problem.

Listen to Yourself

When we are faced with the question of making a decision, we often have the answer in our head immediately - version number one, which miraculously you already know. This is the so-called inner voice that unconsciously awakens at the moment the dilemma arises. Unfortunately, most of us are accustomed to listening to this voice. Perhaps trusting your intuition once got you into trouble, but now you've grown up, gained judgement, started weighing your arguments... In any case, by neglecting your intuition, you're giving up an important source of information. For the sake of a complete decision-making toolkit, bring your inner voice back to the table, because a good life is the result of a series of good decisions.

Partner Support.

All of us have to face different circumstances in life, whether it's health problems or job loss. It is precisely at these times that your partner needs support and encouragement, even though these events can be a source of tremendous stress for you as well. You don't need to portray an unfading optimism and hide your worries. The most important thing is to be there for you and for your partner to feel that together you can overcome these difficulties. Your confidence and support will not only reduce your partner's worries, but most likely will help him to mobilize all his resources to overcome the problem situation.
