Hilarious Sex Facts You Didn't Know

#1 Women Have More Sex Think men get laid more than women? Wrong! According to Men’s Fitness magazine, women have sex 17 percent more often than the average guy. Go girls! #2 Illegal Activity Oral sex was illegal in Canada until 1969 and in some parts of the states until 2003. #3 Population Each week, the average man produces enough sperm to impregnate every woman an earth. #4 Don't Hold It Ever notice that it’s kind of tough to go pee right after sex? Your body releases an antidiuretic hormone when you orgasm, which prohibits you from going potty as easily as usual. Just don’t hold it for too long, or you could risk infection. #5 Greek Anatomy In ancient Greece large penises were considered gross. As far as they were concerned, the smaller your business the better -- that's why many Greek statues have itty bitty marble junk #6 Pillow Talk During sex, some deaf couples sign on each other's skin to talk dirty and...

We chose it because, “Rhythm Soul” is a mixture of Rhythm (beat of the music) and the human Soul, because the “Rhythm of the music” determines the emotion of a person, some brings joy to the soul, some sadness, some love, some excitement, etc. 2.Who are the members? There are three members in the group, Nhlanhla Joseph Maseli (AKA J...
