In Sickness And In Health

The first wealth is health — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Many people downplay this quote when they are healthy and can worry about things like paying their bills on time, improving their financial status and net worth, spending time with their family and other activities they engage in to keep up with the Joneses until they fall sick. Then they start thinking about their health.

A healthy man wants a thousand things, a sick man only wants one — Confucius

It’s like having a blocked/stuffy nose. When it’s there, you miss the times you breathed easily without noticing. You took it for granted. All you want is to breathe freely again.

But when it’s gone, you forget about it. You slip back into the habits that caused it in the first place. Good health is sorta like that. It is the foundation on which all other life pleasures are built and sex is no exception.

Without good health, there is no way you’re going to enjoy having sex with your partner. Heck! without good health, you may not even be able to have sex talkless of actually enjoying the act.

As important as health is, I’m baffled at how many people don’t think it’s important when it comes to their sexual satisfaction with their romantic partners.
