Need to pass a kidney stone? Slip away with your spouse for a couple hours and you can greatly improve your chances. The authors of a study recently published in the medical journal Urology conducted an experiment with 3 study groups of kidney stone patients. The first group was asked to have sexual intercourse 3-4 times a week. The second group was given the drug tamsulosin. The third group was a control group.
The sex group had an 83.9% success rate for expelling kidney stones. The second and third groups had success rates of 47.6% and 34.8% respectively.

What worked really well for me was lying on the floor letting the kids play on my tummy. Having a good rough-and-tumble with a couple of kids bouncing on your belly shoves 'em out in no time.

Seriously? The study doesn't even say whether the patients were male, female, or both.
