Gardening: good for making sexy time

Love is...
Love is... by kaibara87 on flickr

Scientists tell us what women already know: men who garden are hot.

“As little as 30 minutes a week tending the garden or allotment can dramatically improve men’s performance in bed, according to the experts in the field.

Digging, weeding or mowing the lawn for half an hour reduced men’s risk of failing to live up to expectations in bed by more than a third, the survey found.”

Suddenly “Honey, wanna help me in the garden this afternoon?” takes on a whole ‘nother meaning.

    Why didn’t anyone just ask me? I knew! When my MrD wears his toolbelt to work on my new gardening shed—he is transformed in to something hotter than the most active compost bin.

    Nothing hotter, really! O has a tight little number that he wears on his back when working the yard. The front of the vintage style shirt says: Gardeners Do it With Hoes. hmmmmm!

    Yes! Sexy time indeed. My demure husband has NO idea what donning a tool belt to build us a pea trellis (or something of that ilk) does for me. Fantastic!
