Having sex with colleagues improves business performance

Not always avoid relationships with colleagues is the best way to make better work. One of this opinion, the sexologist Norwegian Elsa Aalmas who published a study on the online magazine “Dagens Næringsliv” in which it stated that anyone who maintains a relationship with a colleague brought it to work harder just to spend more time with partner. Norwegian study showed that one in five admits to having entertained romantic relationships with colleagues and one in ten couples formed in the workplace. Love in the office makes it more focused, more energetic and even push to adopt a more professional demeanor.

The research was deepened by a team of researchers led by Italian sexologist Serenella Salomoni on behalf of the Association “Women and the Quality of Life. The Italian study considered 480 individuals between 25 and 55 years reach the same conclusion of Norwegian twins: 65% of women surveyed admitted to have become more productive following the introduction of the report. Who has a partner among colleagues also claims to go to the office and more willing to remain longer than necessary. But that’s not all one person in seven states that have refused job offers even more advantageous to remain near his beloved / o.

But not all the data emerging from research are not so encouraging: in fact the few romantic relationships between colleagues who occupy the same hierarchical level in the office. Many women (65%) had an affair with a “higher”, and one in three of them admit to aspiring to a career. Only 15% of women surveyed had an affair with a colleague who occupies a position hierarchically lower than theirs. Are 20%, finally, the relationship between peers? While 12% admit to tolerate the reports, so to speak, instrumental, 24% say they understand the link located in this situation. Stands still for 43% of women surveyed who considered that such a report not too disinterested “frivolous”.

Wrinkles goodbye thanks to the so-called fillers. But with an eye to the pitfalls

The fillers or fillers, to use a term aglosassone very popular here too, are all those substances that are injected through very fine needles under the skin in your body for aesthetic benefits. Some of these substances contain natural principles; others are chemically produced in the laboratory or derived from a combination of natural substances (e.g. animal derivatives) and chemical ingredients. Among the organic fillers are collagen, hyaluronic acid, while polylactic acid, synthetic fillers Artecoll, goretex and AQUAMID. The use of silicone fluid for this purpose is prohibited by law in our country since 1980.

The fillers are generally used to smooth wrinkles, fill the furrows of the face, scars and get the swelling of the lips and cheeks. The effect is immediately visible. The purpose is to be performed by a physician and can be an outpatient. After each application you can usually resume normal activities, the only counter concern allergies known to the material to be injected, pregnancy, skin disorders, disturbances in blood clotting. But be careful because the fillers may hide some pitfalls.

It’s good to know first that, although the fold,’s effect is temporary. The duration of effectiveness depends on the type of filler used: the shorter period of time fillers that are natural, it ranges from 3-4 months of hyaluronic acid with duration of 8-10 months polylactic acid. By far the most lasting dermal fillers chemical pemangono in two or three years after which you must use a new application.

It should also consider the possibility, however remote; all involved some unpleasant side effects: it could for example be the masses, visible or palpable under the skin at the point where we inject. Could also create abscesses, infection or trigger allergic reactions. For this reason it is essential that in practice the injection is always a qualified professional to perform all the necessary preliminary investigations.

Italians do it better. About garlic?

According to a special aired on the BBC in London during the broadcast “The Truth about food, the aphrodisiac properties of garlic would be such as not having anything to envy to the already tested Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. It does not matter if our love wills pestilential breath.

The documentary is based on research, according to which ingest four cloves of garlic per day for three consecutive months would have therapeutic effects on ‘impotence in men especially when older men are being affected, with problems of high cholesterol. It is not however know if the garlic has real power to defeat the impotence. What is certain and this is perhaps the real news is that after the airing of the special, the sale of the bulb, supposed, aphrodisiac in Britain has increased by over 30%.

But there’s more. Someone has suggested that given the massive consumption of garlic on our tables (estimated around 50 million kg per year on a national basis), research unravel the mystery of the (alleged this one?) Extraordinary sexual prowess of the male Latin. Moreover, not without a touch of pride, Coldiretti said the news underlined the pregiatezza the many varieties of garlic produced in Italy and exported around the world. Always from Coldiretti the news arrives that the famous red onion Tropicana contains nitrous oxide, which is the active ingredient of the “blue pill”. (!). How to say … Italians love exported (!).

If the research data were confirmed this would tend at least a threefold effect: the marketing of a revitalization completely free of side effects and, therefore, accessible to all, a scientific explanation for the world-renowned Latin lover, and the soaring sales of garlic. This certainly would be in addition to the unexpected high number of men with bad breath, but in the end. Just do not breathe!
