Men, Food and Sex!

This morning's paper quotes an Australian study that has declared 'Men prefer Food to Sex'...Now - That doesn't surprise me! Have they not just rediscovered the good old saying - 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach'. A bit of googling showed me that the phrase owes its origin to the American statesman John Adams who wrote in a letter in 1814, 'The shortest road to men's hearts is down their throats,' and about three decades later recoined by Richard Ford in 'A Handbook for Travellers in Spain'(1845) as 'The way to many an honest heart lies through the belly.' - So that, my husband A says, justifies his own belly - he is super honest and hence his beer belly! A, you are just incorrigible.

I wonder how prominent and celebrated facts like this one can be reported as recent findings by the papers! And as a matter of fact - dont you have to energise yourself sufficiently to have sex - that again lets me realize how beautifully human body has been programmed by Nature, the Unbeatable! Now if you are a fitness freak and also sexually active, you may want to check out this very exhaustive American study.
