A Sex Therapist and Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr. Tomi Imarah, says not having sex regularly, being part of a balanced diet, can make one to lose job.
Dr. Imarah, who runs an online Mental Health Counselling Service, called “Dr Tomi’s Haven’’, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Lagos.
According to her, sex is part of a balanced diet, reflecting how essential it is to overall health and well being.
“With regards to the impact of sex on job performance, I will prefer an emphasis on sex in marriage; frequent unmet expectations stir frustrations and resentment, leaving you distracted at a subconscious level.
“Sex boosts endorphins and other productivity hormones; you go to work energised, work brilliantly and get promoted. “The reverse is sexual frustration, and pent up emotions is highly distracting and you are prone to errors.
“From my interactions with male clients when they have a vibrant sex life, they feel energised to achieve so much in other areas of their lives. “What they do not know is that sex releases endorphins, which are ‘feel good’ hormones.
“These hormones fill you with energy, just like when you go for a run or other rigorous exercises. It pumps blood to your brain and helps you operate more optimally.
“Not to talk of the fact that couples with frustrations in the bedroom have it spilling into other areas of their relationships, causing conflicts, leading to further repercussions outside the home including workplace,“ she said.
Imarah said that during sexual activities, certain hormones including oxytocin, endorphins, dopamine, testosterone, estrogen were released.
“These sex hormones leave behind some effects, such as improved mood, stress alleviation, immune boosting, relaxed feeling, positive energy, improved attention and concentration, and improved memory capacity.
“All these effects culminate in improved emotional, mental, and physical well being; that is why people walk around with a spring in their steps. “Apart from these biochemical effects of sex, stoking the intimacy flames with someone you love helps your relationship thrive better, “ the therapist said.

OAP Toke Makinwa has shared her view about long term relationship.
She says ;
“I do not understand why you should date someone for more than two and a half years. That is my take. I feel like if you meet someone, two years is decent, two and half years is decent, By three years, its like ‘what again are your trying to find out’.
What didn’t you find out in the first and second year. I feel like 5 years is taking the piece and for seven years, you are absolutely having a laugh. By 10 years, it’s like ”are you the lord of the rings? I can say this because I have been in a long term relationship so I can tell you how I feel about it. My answer is no because I feel like often times, long courtships do not translate to a happy marriage.
Sometimes you find people who date forever and when they get married, they don’t make it past that year or two or three years. You find people who get married in a year and a half and 10 years down the line, they are still together. When people show you who they are, you have to believe them.
If you find yourself in a five year, seven years 10 years relationship, it is enough for you to sit back and ask the guy what is going on and where are we going to?
Why would you want to date someone for seven years. In that seven years, some people have gotten together, gotten married, had children, divorced and you are still this person’s girlfriend. There is nothing that you would not find out in three years that you want to find out in eight years.”

In response to Kemi Olunloyo’s claim that Linda faked her pregnancy.. A staff of Linda, who apparently spoke on Linda’s behalf has replied Madam Kemi.
Recall Kemi Olunloyo claimed Linda faked her pregnancy by wearing a moon baby bump, and having a surrogate mother deliver the baby for her. (Read Here).
In response, Linda wrote:
Madam Kemi Olunloyo’s real stomach vs a moon bump. ???. Who knew our hanti had such a tummy? ????. She pushed her real tummy out to make it look big and passed it off as a moon bump ???. Like our beggi beggi hanti can actually afford a $400 moon bump ???
Besides no human being has the power or enough money, not even the president of the United States, to make a hospital like Emory University Hospital Midtown, tell such a colossal lie on their behalf. That would be the end of the institution. Any institution for that matter. For USA again? ???. .
So what you’re saying basically is that Madam Linda connived with one of the worlds most respected hospitals to allow her into their facility, take photos in their labour room with a new born baby and their nurses, take photos and videos in their after birth postpartum room and share on social media with their co-operation? You can see that you’re mad ????. We know our madam is a rich and powerful woman but even she is not that powerful ???. So try again. .
By the way Madam journalist, get ready in 5,4,3,21…You don finally buy market ????lai
