How Are Women Attracted To Men?

What Attracts a Woman to a Man? Study Says, A Strong Immune System

If you forget all the red roses, fancy cars and other “romantic” gestures we frequently see involved in courtship today and look back at what drew our ancestors together, the picture looks a whole lot different.

Not unlike animals today, people were drawn together by choosing what qualities would compliment their own when it came to producing offspring. This is still done today, though usually on a subconscious level. For instance, men are drawn to women with curves which makes them ideal candidates for bearing a healthy child. Women on the other hand are drawn to men with symmetrical faces for much the same reason, they appear to have genes that would benefit their offspring.

Can We Convince Men To Quit Smoking?

2012-05-13T07:46:00.003-07:00

What Do You Think About Aggressive Anti-Smoking Campaigns?

For the most part in life we are taught to follow the golden rule ‘to each their own,’ meaning don’t judge others on their actions. When it comes to a life-threatening habit however (for not just the participant but others nearby) are we still expected to remain impartial? If you ask the government, the answer is no.

While there has been plenty of chatter over the last year about shock campaigns to help convince smokers to quit (and others to “just say no”) like the FDA’s attempt to alter cigarette labels, this is the first time we have seen a direct opinion voiced by the government formally attacking the tobacco industry. Federal health officials are releasing a series of graphic images and videos that feature “tips from an ex-smoker.” This campaign highlights those who have lost limbs, their voices, hair and essentially their health giving “advice” to those who smoke. These messages include things like “allow extra time to put on your legs,” which appears over the image of a 31-year-old man who lost his legs to smoking -related cancer.

Is Prostate Cancer Cause Unknown?

2012-05-08T12:59:00.000-07:00

What Causes Men to Have Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is an abnormal growth that develops in the male prostate gland. The prostate gland is a small organ located near the bladder. It helps produce seminal fluid, which is very important to the male reproductive system..

What is the Cause of Prostate Cancer?

Currently, the exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown. However, changes in your DNA (contains your genes) may trigger the cells of the gland to grow out of control. Normal DNA tells your cells what to do and how to function in your body. Cells normally divide to make new ones, and older cells die in order to make room for these new cells. In the case of prostate cancer, the DNA changes and prevents older cells from dying. Over time, they can build up in your gland’s tissue and develop into a mass (tumor).

Do Women Recognize Male Andropause Symptoms?

2012-05-01T12:30:00.002-07:00

What Women Need To Understand About Andropause

Do you find your husband, father, or elder male relative suddenly “moody” most of the time? Is he a bit forgetful, nervous or easily depressed? If you answered yes to both questions, then it’s highly likely that your elder male loved one is exhibiting signs and symptoms of andropause.

Andropause is the counterpart of the female menopause in males, a condition that is brought about by the reduction in the production of the hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in elder men from age 35 onwards. Although this condition is not as bad as menopause, men can still feel its effects as their usual libido, vigor, vitality, and sharpness gradually declines.

Safe Sex Goes Tech – QR Codes Appear on Condoms

By now you have probably noticed that “check-ins” have become very popular with social media users. Rarely can you sign in to Facebook without being bombarded with these status updates. While sometimes we wonder “do we really need to know you are at IHOP?” other times, seeing where a friend is on a Saturday night might give us the motivation to meet up and have fun. Many people have personalized these check-ins to say things like “my house” or “my bed,” but should we really be able to “check-in” wearing condoms during sex?

A new site launched by the family planning organization Planned Parenthood has taken that idea and run with it.

Are Men Insensitive After Sex?

Help For Men With Asperger’s Syndrome Disorder

You may not be familiar with the exact name of the Oxytocin hormone, but you have likely been affected by it.

Oxytocin is known as the ‘love hormone’ as it is responsible for making couples feel closer and also for bonding mothers with their newborns. It has also been noted that women are typically more affected by it than their male partners. After sex, there are higher levels of the hormone present in women and often this makes them feel closer to their partner and often leads them to want to be physically closer as well. Are men being insensitive when they fall asleep post-sex? Many scientists believe it may just be because of the differences chemically in men and women.

2012-04-03T11:55:00.002-07:00

Cialis, the ‘Weekend Pill’

Cialis is the new drug available in market for erectile dysfunction. Though, it is at the second position in respect of popularity. Still it is proving to be tough competitor to Viagra. Generic name of cialis is tadalafil, and its function is to block the working of an enzyme phosphodiasterase-5 that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate which makes it sure that erection happens during intercourse.

Is Erectile Dysfunction And Impotency The Same?

2012-03-26T07:29:00.000-07:00

Erectile dysfunction as a symptom of ill-health

Men are thought to be a prominent partner in the sexual life of humans. Taboos are created that they almost never get associated with any sexual problems. However, nowadays men health topics do include list of problems like prostrate thing, erectile disorder etc. Erectile dysfunction is one of those less talked topics, as men themselves drift apart from accepting this issue and so talking about is considered a mistake.

Erectile dysfunction is referred as the incapability of males to have and control their erection during intercourse thus leading to unsatisfactory sexual life. It is almost similar to the menopause phase of a women’s life with the slight difference that it can frequently occur, or for a limited period of the time. Still erectile dysfunction (ED) cannot be related to impotency or infertility. Impotency is when a man is not able to reproduce, so there could be various other reasons associated with it. Similarly, infertility is defined as production of less number of sperms in respect to those required for reproduction, but that does not says erection is not possible. Due to the misconception about these terms and their correct meaning, men’s often refrain from talking about these important health issues.

Is Male Depression Therapy Effective?

2012-03-09T05:58:00.000-08:00

Recovering From Depression

In many cultures it seems more taboo for men to be depressed than it is for women. Unless you're a famous Romantic poet, in which case it's usually an accepted part of your persona, men are still often expected to be more hardy when it comes to coping with emotional problems, and are consequently less likely to ask for help with depression, or even about extreme stress or anxiety.

Although it depends, to an extent, on your family and their politics, as well as where you grew up, you may feel reluctant to admit to anyone that you're struggling to see the good side of life.

Fact, HGH Is Not Anabolic Steroids!

Human Growth Hormone Is Not Steroids

Read that again. HGH and anabolic steroids are not the same thing. Got it? Good, because there are so many misconceptions about both agents of human growth and development that most people simply lump them into the same category.

Heck, even the media doesn't know the difference. Most stories you read about performance enhancing drugs just hide the fact that the journalist who wrote the story doesn't have a clue about what steroids are, what HGH does, and that there's no grey area that separates the two in athletic competition. HGH is not steroids. Simple as that.

Can Peyronie's Penis Disease Be Corrected?

2012-02-09T11:34:00.000-08:00

Peyronie's Disease: The Facts

A penis that has a significant curved, bending or hooking while erect could be a sign of Peyronie’s disease. No specific cause for the PD condition has been determined, but studies have shown that it most likely occurs as a result of trauma causing scar tissue to build beneath the skin of the penis—though the reason for development of scar tissue is also uncertain. Such trauma includes penis fracture during intercourse.

Who is Most at Risk?
It isn’t uncommon for men finding out about this disease to wonder if they are at risk. Keep in mind, though, that Peyronie's disease is not a common medical condition, thought to affect 1 in 100 men. This disease typically affects men between the ages of forty and sixty years of age. Some men older than sixty have also been reported to begin seeming symptoms.

Is Too Much Lovemaking Harmful For A Man?

2012-01-27T13:20:00.000-08:00

Sex to distress but not if your are overdoing with it

Sex is the best natural stress-buster that can give all vitamins a run for their money. A survey in the USA has borne evidence to this fact: When over fifty middle-aged women stated that sex and even mild caressing actions of affection had the power to transform negative mood to positive one and make you feel better instantly. Moreover, it is not that the stress was relieved just for that moment but instead positive mood continued for the next few days. However, this same impact was not observed when women reached orgasm without a partner. However, having on an average two orgasms every week can improve your health significantly. In case of men it has been seen that frequent orgasms lead to lower mortality rate thus proving yet again that intimate lovemaking is the key to a long, healthy and happy life.

Putting On Condoms And Losing It Problems

Posted by by Jack:
So I guess I fall under the psychological category, but I'm not even sure that's the cause to the condom problem... my first time would have been at 16 if this problem hadn't occurred. I'm 22 now, I've had a lot of GREAT sex with 5 different women without condom use, female birth control and is a beautiful thing. That number would be double or more if this problem hadn't sadly made me so picky.. I'm very healthy, I don't suffer from erectile dysfunction issues, well besides winter depression, but honestly emo sex is pretty hawt. My diet is a healthy one minus the soda, I do smoke, but this problem occurred long before I started. I can be hard as a rock, slide condom right on, but after 30 sec or so regardless of whether I'm in her or not it goes down.. feels good enough when I'm in there, definitely enjoyable, I really don't get it..
