During a couple’s “honeymoon phase” usually the only thing on the menu is sex. But once this phase is over and your crotch is burning from over-stimulation, perhaps you start to focus on other parts of your relationship. Maybe you even find lame excuses to say no to sex. Supposedly, this is a phenomenon unique to ...
While the world has been busy obsessing over female hormones and growth, we have missed out on a huge problem affecting us in a different way.

A new impotence drug has just been introduced that melts in your mouth like a fizzy candy. The theory is that men find the larger pills awkward, embarrassing, and inconvenient. They hope this new kind, that comes with a discreet black box that can be carried in a pocket, will help men who aren’t currently getting help ...
Those scientists are just too clever by half. First they determine that 90% of middle-aged women suffer from a new condition called sexual dysfunction.
