In August the first Currywurst Museum was opened in Germany. This striking museum is just 100 meters from Checkpoint Charlie. Here you’ll discover the history of this delicious food. Of course, the museum refused other possible origins of the Currywurst, which say that it was invented in Hamburg or in the Ruhrgebiet. According to the museum director and the Berliners, all these are only false rumors. Discover the world of this sausage and how you should eat it! As you can see, the German capital offers another spectacular museum with film screenings and a host of interactive activities.

In Germany people eat more than 800 million Currywurst per year, and approximately 70 million are consumed in Berlin.

We all know that music plays a great influence in our lives. The nicest melodies do not only accompany us in difficult, sad, stressful or happy situations, but the music exercises an important role when making love. Come on, confess! Sure you have a favorite song or a special CD for the most intimate moments to share with your partner, or with more people, who knows…. music is simply great for making love to.

It doesn’t matter which musical preference you have, but several studies have shown that music during lovemaking increases the happiness hormone production. But what kind of music should I choose to have a better orgasm? Maybe something hard like Rammstein or Metallica, or romantic music such as Buena Vista Social Club? Whether they are sweating rockers, or charming Cuban grandparents, everyone would have to rely on their own musical tastes and instincts for choosing good music.

However, we can also take a look to some studies and theories. The Psychologist and neuroscientist Daniel Levitin of McGill University in Montreal has studied the supernatural powers of music whilst making love, in a study called Sex, Drugs and Rock n’ Roll. The study shows that music causes some dopamine (the hormone of hapiness) stimulation. Music activates specific parts of the brain that are also responsible for many body reactions such as sweating, sexual excitement or “butterflies in the stomach”. Because of this, it is not strange that listening to music while making love influences our hormonal functions.

The American scientist has even investigated about successful selection of music. According to the results, R n’ B, soul and classical music have a certain advantage. Soul pioneers like Barry White and Marvin Gaye were responsible for some increase in the birth rate – especially in the 60s. But also the French composer Claude Debussy has embellished many erotic moments. As you can see, you don’t need to play music with obvious messages such as the rapper 50 Cent with his “I’ll take you to the candy shop, I’ll let you lick the lollipop”.

Have you found the perfect album for a few passionate hours? Not yet? Then, visit the German capital and discover the incredible music scene of this city. A trip can be the best opportunity to test this mysterious combination of sex and music. Rent the best apartments in Berlin and enjoy comfortable and affordable accommodation.

Nowadays nudism is an essential part of our society. Most people live this style of life in a very liberal way and each day they discover a new form of nudism. They just enjoy the harmony of their body and soul with the beautiful nature. But one thing is very clear: nudism isn’t only healthy for us, but also for the environment. Why don’t you join the nudism movement and participate in fighting against the alarming increase in global warming?

But why is going around without any clothes on so eco-friendly? Let’s start with the high energy costs of air conditioning. In summer the temperatures don’t only rise in southern Europe, but as well in the northern countries. While the thermometer is almost exploding, there seems to be only one solution for most of the sweating people: air-conditioning. But unfortunately they don’t think about the immense costs of electricity and energy, which are consumed for having only a few cool hours. However, the nudists are conscious of these high energy costs, so they just take off some their clothes or they get completely naked. In that way they don’t only feel free, they also refresh themselves under those hot circumstances. If more people decided to take of their clothes, they wouldn’t only save a lot of money, but as well they would fight more successfully against the climate change.

And what else could we save by going naked? Sure, the huge amount of laundries we have to do. With the fact that nudists get dressed very rarely, they don’t have to wash their clothes so much as the others do. You probably can imagine the huge saving of energy. But for giving you a better idea, here are some facts and numbers: for each 60º laundry a normal washing machine needs more or less than 100 litres of water and 1-2 KW of energy. If you calculate this for each household for a long term, you will be very shocked. So, considering the energy costs, nudists have a real advantage.

With good reason nudism is also called naturism. Nudists are more conscious about nature and they experience the environment in a completely different way. Walking naked through the woods, hiking through the mountains without any clothes, or cruising naked by bike through the wonderful landscape are just indescribable experiences which make us aware of our responsibility towards nature.

Especially nowadays many environmental organizations carry out different campaigns for drawing the public’s attention to the alarming increase of global warming. In this way, more than 600 people got naked in the middle of the cold Alps for showing the world the naked truth of the planet’s pollution.

Berlin is without any doubt one of the European capitals of nudism. The German capital isn’t only considered a tolerant and open minded city, but it’s as well the very centre of many kinds of naturism.

Many people talk about friendship with benefits, but… Is it really a good idea? Is it possible to combine friendship and sex without one falls in love or the relationship finishes in a disaster? For some it may seem like an ideal relationship: less stressful than a commitment, but deeper than a one-night stand. What about you? Do you dare?

Sex and Friendship

A study conducted by the Michigan State University (the first study in this field) has revealed that the friend with benefits keep as many difficulties as the love relationships, contrary to what people use to think . These relationships tend to have low levels of passion, and instead aroused the same fears as the amatory relations: fear of feeling in love, fear of losing the partner, fear of having a deception, a betrayal, etc.

The same study found that these kinds of friendships have a great handicap: the opening relation to each other is blocked when sex occurs. Two friends that before could talk about everything, now they have a taboo topic: their relationship. Nevertheless, even 60% of the population admits they have had an affair like this.

But what happens over time? Normally, it is strange that this kind of relationship ends in romance. Only one of every ten couples like this prospers. One out of three, leave aside the sex and continues with a normal friendship and one out of four, breaks both the friendship and the sexual relation. The rest tends to continue its friendly relations with benefits.

Normally, the people who engage in this type of look for an average term between the commitment and the affair, which does not take them to the total tie, but it makes them feel safe. In psychological terms the FWB are more like a friendship than like a romance. According to the same study, friends with benefits are in the midst of a scale where the passion and the commitment are at their lowest index. Thus, both components feel that their friendship goes into an uncertain territory and that something is going wrong.

While on the other hand, the sex between friends has fascinating moments. Who would know you better than your best friend? If you know how to control the situation, this relationship can become even idyllic. You just have to understand that the everyone’s sexual life belongs to the kingdom of freedom and one has to respect it.

Seize the weekend to travel to the city of sex, friendship and tolerance. No matter who accompanies you: with your friends, with a friend with benefits, with your couple… The important thing is to share good times with people you love. Rent Apartments in Berlin to get a cheap and comfortable stay.
