Can Sex Be a Health Hazard?
Can you suffer serious harm from sexual activity? Is it really a health threat? The notion that sex can seriously affect your health is not a myth.
Whether wishful thinking, blissful ignorance or the delusion of immortality, many people — especially young people — don't believe what they have heard about the potential health risks of sexual activity. What's more, many people who engage in potentially risky sexual activities remain healthy. Maybe it's due to luck or an overestimation of the risks. Either way, staying healthy despite risky sexual behavior may reinforce the belief that health risks are a just a myth.
Few people think of sex as a major health risk other than those with AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases. Some would add unplanned pregnancy and the emotional side effects of having sex before being psychologically ready to the list. While most people who have sex survive it, there are important health issues you need to know about.

5 Exercises Men Can Do to Improve Their Sex Life
In a study of 31,000 men over age 50, Harvard researchers found that aerobic exercise resulted in a 30-percent lower risk of erectile dysfunction (ED). More specifically, according to another study, aerobic activity that burns at least 200 calories per day (equal to fast walking for two miles) can significantly lower the risk of ED. Brisk walking is thought to help ED by improving circulation and blood flow. Fast walking, running, and other aerobic activities help your sex life for the same reason that they prevent heart attacks. They keep your blood vessels clear. The result can be stronger and longer erections. Vigorous activities, such as running and brisk walking, also release endorphins and relax you, which can boost sexual performance.

5 Health signs that you are a man
1.You often don’t take time to care for your health even if you have worrying symptoms.
2.Your health promotion events often focus on prostate and testicular cancer, but not on skin care.
3.You pay less attention to high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and road traffic, which cause road accidents.
4.You generally smoke more, drink more, want sex more and are more likely to be involved in risk taking and, as a consequence, accidents.
5.You don’t make good use of health services and are less likely to discuss your health, or other sensitive issues with friends.
If after reading facetious things above you can say “Yes, I do”, there is a big probability that you are a man (though prostate cancer scares Marisa) and you don’t know a lot about your health.
The good news is that many of the major health risks that men face can be prevented and treated if they are diagnosed early. So it is important to be in tune with your body so that you can raise any concerns with a doctor.
You deserve to pay more attention to your health! And you deserve to take better care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. You can test your knowledge about Men’s Health. Leave comment below about your result!

Do men lose weight faster than women?
But, there are physiological reasons for that difference:
1. Men have more muscle. This allows them to burn more calories, even when at rest.
2. Women are predisposed to store and retain fat. Women have higher levels of estrogen, a hormone that works works to keep the fat on a woman's body so it's easier for her to get pregnant. That means women have to work harder to lose weight at the same rate as men.
3. Men's bodies respond more quickly to exercise. Women's bodies, meanwhile, actually go into a sort of starvation mode, slowing the metabolism to hang onto more fat.
4. Women may have a lower tolerance for exercise. Women have smaller lung capacity than men, which can make women feel as though they are working harder than men even if the women are working at the same level. This can also make exercise feel harder in the heat or high humidity.
This doesn't mean it's impossible for women to lose weight and, when you think about, excellent reasons are behind a woman's tendency to store fat. After all, creating and nurturing a new life is nothing to sneeze at.
It's always best to avoid comparing yourself to others, whether male or female, when it comes to weight loss. Everyone loses weight differently, and genes, along with hormones, play a large role in how quickly some people lose weight.

4 Level of Premature Ejaculation
Level 1
Very common among teenagers, this level is characterized by bad masturbation habits during adolescence and preadolescence. By masturbating pretty fast, out of fear of being caught by someone, defeats the purpose of the ejaculatory reflex, replacing it with the need, the habit of reaching an orgasm fast. This Level is the easiest and fastest one to be solved. By following the appropriate treatment, the patient can fully recover within a few days
Level 2
In general, it affects young adults and, in some cases, teenagers. This Level of PE is caused by stress, anxiety, or emotional tension. Work-related or personal problems, including a demanding routine at school, may trigger PE Level 2 without any warning. Similarly to PE Level 1, this can also be easily treated when timely diagnosed.
Level 3
This Level of PE is mainly caused as a development of an untreated or poorly treated PE Level 2. Rarely, it also spontaneously affects young adults under pressure. The cause of this problem is a permanent unbalance between serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain, which excessively increases the impulse that triggers the ejaculatory reflex. This degree must be immediately treated, since there is a risk it may develop into a sexual disorder*, which is immensely more complex.
Level 4
This is the most severe PE Level, because it becomes a disorder and there are only a few online treatment alternatives that will help solve the problem. This case usually requires the direct help of a professional.
Treatment
Practice and relaxation should help you deal with the problem. Some men try to distract themselves by thinking non-sexual thoughts (such as naming baseball players and records) to avoid getting excited too fast.
There are several helpful techniques you can try.
The "stop and start" method:
- This technique involves sexually stimulating the man until he feels like he is about to reach orgasm. Stop the stimulation for about 30 seconds and then start it again. Repeat this pattern until the man wants to ejaculate. The last time continue stimulation until the man reaches orgasm.
The "squeeze" method:
- This technique involves sexually stimulating the man until he recognizes that he is about to ejaculate. At that point, the man or his partner gently squeezes the end of the penis (where the glans meets the shaft) for several seconds. Stop sexual stimulation for about 30 seconds, and then start it again. The person or couple may repeat this pattern until the man wants to ejaculate. The last time continue stimulation until the man reaches orgasm.
Antidepressants such as Prozac and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be helpful because one of their side effects is to prolong the time it takes to reach ejaculation.
WORKS LIKE KAMAGRA and PREVENTS PREMATURE EJACULATION.
Super P-Force is a new super strength pill for Erectile Dysfunction. It works by combining the effects of Sildenafil Citrate (the power behind Kamagra) with Dapoxetine (a drug for the treatment of premature ejaculation). The benefits are obvious. The medication is dispensed as a pill to be taken orally. The medication works by inhibiting naturally occurring processes to assist in maintaining an Erection. Super P-Force contains 100mg of Sildenafil Citrate and 60mg of Dapoxetine. The Dapoxetine prevents Premature Ejaculation.
Evaluation by a sex therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist may help some couples.Tuesday, August 11, 2009
5 Steps to Understand Women in Relationships
Do some research. Spend some time with your female friends, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, female cousins and pick their brains. Don't be afraid to ask some pressing questions. You'll be surprised at how much you can learn about female behavior, habits, interests and desires just by spending time with your female friends and relatives. An observant male will learn everything he's ever wanted to know about the female species. This exercise will also help to eliminate some of the confusion that men feel when faced with the sometimes unpredictable nature of women. As you go through all the following steps, you will soon begin to realize that women only appear confusing and unpredictable because they are actually insecure.
Get out of your comfort zone. As a red-blooded male, you are most likely as emotionally reserved as they come. You would never let someone see you cry, right? Well, if you want to understand women in relationships, get ready to wear your heart on your sleeve. Most women are very emotional and they expect their men to be more in touch with their emotions as well. Thus, you have to learn to open up and not keep all your feelings bottled up inside as usual. Express yourself emotionally by letting down your guard and confiding in her about any life-changing events or experiences, such as the death of a loved one. As you continue to share your innermost emotions with her, you will notice the bond between you growing immensely. More importantly, you will realize that, for women, sharing emotions and stories are an extremely important part of a relationship.
Listen to what she has to say. This requires staying silent on your part. You have probably conditioned yourself to look as though you're listening when, in fact, your mind is somewhere else completely. It's time to stop such disrespectful behavior and get used to giving the woman in your life your undivided attention. A key to understanding women in relationships is realizing that they love to talk about and share their deepest feelings, fears and desires with their significant others. All you have to do is listen. Most of the time you don't even have to give any advice because all she wants is to know that you care. Just listening intently is enough, and will be warmly appreciated.
Talk to her. Next time the two of you have a disagreement or argument, do not give her the silent treatment. No matter how difficult it may be for you, you must let go of your pride and approach her for a genuine conversation. Ignoring her will only make you appear infantile and immature. Moreover, when she asks you if something's wrong, don't give a shrug and say "nothing." The most important factor in any relationship is communication. So, make an effort to become an honest and sensitive communicator. Women prioritize relationships, and they must feel confident that the relationship is a priority in your life as well. If you refuse to open up, you will only make the woman in your life feel more insecure and uncertain about the relationship, and this will only make her behavior seem that much more confusing.
Walk a mile in her shoes. It's not easy being a woman in a man's world. Women don't have the same opportunities and privileges as a man. You will gain a much broader understanding of women in relationships if you simply take the time and effort to acknowledge the struggles and disappointments that women face. Basically, try to look at the world from a female viewpoint, but be aware that the view may be quite overwhelming. As you become familiar with some of the hardships that women face (such as being a single mom, earning less than a man, being stereotyped and underappreciated), you will gain a much deeper understanding of a woman's mind and heart. Bottom line? Keep an open mind, be sensitive to a woman's experiences, make her feel loved and special, confide in her to let her know you trust her and listen to her. You will never be confused again.

Facts about penis size
If you're really worried that your penis is the wrong size, go and see your doctor.
If you're not happy about consulting your GP on such an intimate matter, you could see one of the medics who spend their entire day checking men's penises. You can find these doctors at:
- private 'well-man' clinics, but take care: a few of these are run by quacks
- NHS urology clinics
- NHS sexual medicine clinics
- NHS genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics
- NHS family planning clinics, although these tend to be oriented towards women and don’t have much time to deal with males
- Brook advisory clinics (for the under 25s).
What treatments are there to increase penis size?
Many companies claim they know how to enlarge your penis - for a price.
We have recently been to several medical conferences at which leading experts have spoken about penis size and penis enlargement.
Their opinions on the various methods that are so widely advertised to the public can be summed up as follows.
- Pills or patches for increasing penis size: a complete waste of time.
- Penile enlargement surgery: of uncertain value and sometimes dangerous.
- Penile enlargement exercises: probably pretty futile.
- Penile suction devices: probably of little use.
Several European experts say that the relatively new stretcher or extender devices may sometimes be of value in giving a man a little extra length.
Surgery to increase penis size
A number of private clinics now offer operations that claim to make the penis look bigger. The expense of this type of surgery is very great and there is a risk of complications like bleeding, infection or deformity.
One surgical procedure that has become popular since 2005 is slicing through the ligament that supports the penis.
This makes the penis dangle more, so it looks longer when not erect. But it will make no difference to the size of your erection - and furthermore it won’t come up as high as it used to before the op.
Another type of surgery involves injecting your own fat into your penis to make it more bulky. This may not work, and it can lead to complications.
We recommend that you do not agree to undergo any surgery unless you have seen an NHS consultant urologist who feels that you really need penis enlargement surgery.
Penis stretchers (extenders)
Some urologists are beginning to use a special extending frame to try to stretch the penis.
These ‘stretchers’ are small rectangular frames that you wear on your penis for hours at a time, every day. They pull your organ out to its maximum length, and the idea is that it will gradually remain longer.
The devices are said to be undetectable under trousers.
There have been several reports from Italy and Spain by surgeons who claim a modest degree of improvement in length from this kind of traction.
We don't think these devices are some sort of miracle discovery, but one surgeon reported that a group of men achieved an average increase in length of 1.8cm after using the device daily for four months. This is less than three-quarters of an inch, but for some men this would be significant.
What treatments are there to reduce penis size?
Occasionally, a man with a big penis feels that he wants it reduced in size. This can be done, but there is quite a risk that the operation might go wrong.
Again, we advise you not to have this operation unless an NHS consultant urologist has said it is necessary.
