Health Benefits of the "50 Shades of Grey" Novel

One day while I was rounding on hospital patients, I received a provocative text message from my wife.  Being a professional in a professional setting requires somewhat a stoic persona, but this text dropped my jaw.  I felt a rush of warmth come to my face and no doubt flushed with embarrassment - I retreated to a small office alcove.

I almost started sweating, as the heat got caught under my suit jacket.  Loosening my tie, I struggled to make sense of this overwhelmingly erotic text message.  This was just not normal, my wife rarely lets loose her creative energies in the form of words on me.  Her creativity is fixed on cute little "roses are red, violets are blue" poems.   As my heart raced, and my adrenal glands secreted catecholamines-- I finally recognized what happened.

It all started a week prior when my nurses recommended that I buy the new book, "50 Shades of Grey," by E.L. James, for my wife.  This, I thought, was unusual.  Rarely do I receive recommendations to read a fiction piece from nurses.  In fact, I have never been given recommendations to read anything by nurses. The occasional book worm patient and I will bounce authors' names back and forth, but to have the nurses on the floor discussing the book with such grandiosity peaked my interest.


"You won't regret it!" they encouraged me.  At the time, I wondered why they had those mischievous smiles.


So I ventured into Target that week and found a paperback "50 shades," and proceeded to the check out.  The cashier's half smile at me gave me no hint as to what possibly this book could do.


Carrying the prize home to the wife, I fantasized about what potential awaits our marriage, both in the form of emotional and physical rewards.  What subsequently occurred was not what I had expected, and moreover, it had opened a new chapter for us in our 7th year of marriage.


The health benefits were many.  First of all, I had an increased physical attraction to my wife.  It has been over 10 years since she used to call and talk to me provocatively.  I was a lowly medical student and had no real love life.  Second, enhanced intercourse and all the benefits of a cardio workout subsequently occurred.  The increased interest in sex in both, its most basic form, and the plethora of advanced forms, helped renew my motivation to improve in my own areas of confidence and vigor.  


The nurses knew best, as they usually do, and I gladly won't ever regret their advice.  For all who look for more ways to get healthy--give this book a try.  It's definitely an A++
