A German sociologist Werner Habermehl says regular sex can help university students pass exams and get better grades.
Habermehl from the University of Hamburg said he and his team had tested students before and after sex.
They found that regular sexual activity significantly increased
mental capability, but they found celibate students found it
harder to make the grade.
As well as decreasing the length of time needed to complete a course,
students with a healthy sex life also received
better marks, said Habermehl.
The research was carried out together with German research institute GEWIS.
Webmaster Note: I think the study also proved to be more beneficial
for college women who slept with older men. I
believe everyone deserves a good education and I am willing to help
when and where ever possible. I also want to point
out my bad grades in school had nothing to do with not gettin any,
I'm just not smart, yeah that's it.

A Czech condom manufacturer has been distributing penis-measuring postcards in thousands of pubs and clubs.
The cards issued by Pepino condom company have a centimetre scale to
measure length and four openings to measure
girth, according to Czech daily Lidove Noviny.
They carry the slogan "Be a man, measure yourself. It's worth
it," and award points for length and girth. It encourages men
to add up their total to see how they measure up and which group they
belong to.
The lowest category is 'primates', followed by 'jackals', 'boars', and 'bulls' at the top.
The company wants the target audience of 15-30-year-old men to send
text messages with their details. They'll then be
entered into a prize draw.
Josef Vybranec, head of Pepino's parent company Olza Trading, told the paper the campaign had been a huge success.
"Several thousand text messages have arrived in the first week.
So far, the measurements put most of the men in the 'boar'
category," he said.
The company is printing a million of the cards and plans to distribute them in magazines also.
"We wanted to have a more entertaining promotion and so far there have been no complaints," said Vybranec.

Israeli police had to close an entire floor of their station because
the pungent scent of tons of confiscated marijuana was
making them high, an Israeli newspaper said Friday.
The drugs, smuggled from Egypt, are kept in a storeroom of a police
station in the southern town of Dimona. Police
have confiscated so much, that the room is filled up almost
immediately after its contents are sent to be incinerated.
"Every time I came to work I felt...like I was high," the
Maariv newspaper quoted one officer as saying. "The smell of
marijuana was killing us -- it was impossible to work."
The newspaper said a police medical officer ordered personnel to move to another floor until the drugs could be shipped out.
