Breath and sex

Have you ever wondered what breathing has to do with sex? No? well have a read of the below blurb from my favourite blog sexuality.about.com.

In case you are like about half the people who could be diagnosed with COPD, which is to say, unaware of it, COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which is an umbrella term that describes a range of lung disorders, all of which lead to narrowing or blockage of the airways in your lungs.
One of my favorite sex educators, and author of Urban Tantra, Barbara Carrellas often says that sex travels on the breath. Certainly without breath there is no sex.
