Clogged drains.

"To explain this letter," writes a "Savage Love" reader/tipster, "a greywater recycling system is where you take shower and wash basin water, treat it, and use the treated water to flush your toilet. Recently a university that uses one of these systems ran into some problems. Filters clean the water before it is recycled and, well, university students were doing what university students do and the filters were getting clogged."

Thin Wall Challenge.

in

Passed along, with the following email, from Megan (thanks!):

This guy has very thin walls and everytime his roommate has sex with his girlfriend, he does a challenge. The goal is for him to complete the challenge before the couple finishes having sex. If he doesn't, he does some silly punishment for himself (eating wasabi, finger in a mousetrap, etc). It is HILARIOUS, I literally laugh out loud every time.

 

See the rest of his challenges here.

Insult to sex, or golf?

Sex No More Strenuous Than Golf, Expert Says

ScienceDaily (Jan. 23, 2012) — Good news for heart disease and stroke patients: For most patients, it's probably safe to have sex. "For a patient who has sex with a familiar partner in a familiar setting, sexual activity generally is safe and no more strenuous than golf," said Loyola University Health System cardiologist Dr. John Moran.

Moran concurs with a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association, which says that men and women with stable cardiovascular disease and no or minimal symptoms during routine activities can engage in sexual activity.

Loyola stroke specialist Dr. José Biller said that resuming sexual activity and intimacy is important both to patients and to their partners.

"Enhanced communication and post-stroke sexual education are paramount to a healthy, ongoing relationship," Biller said.
