The How-To Lounge: Testing Your Man For Testicular Cancer
Just as guys help their girlfriends and wives check for breast cancer, you can help your man check for testicular cancer. You might not know this, but it's the most common cancer in American males between the ages of 15 and 40; a pretty scary stat! If it's found early though, it's highly treatable, so it's important to encourage your man to check for lumps or changes in his testicles, and you can help too.
Do Women Get "Blue Balls" Too?
A couple weeks ago I posted about whether blue balls were a real condition: When a guy becomes aroused, blood rushes to his nether regions and an erection is born. If he doesn't have an orgasm, many guys claim they're left with an unbearable feeling below the waist known as "blue balls."
So is there some equivalent condition for women?
Obama and McCain Roast and Make Up at Al Smith Dinner
Last night's Alfred Smith Dinner put on by Catholic Charities was exactly what we all needed to get through the last 18 days of this grueling election. After months/years of pretending to live in an alternate universe where their talking points define reality, Barack Obama and John McCain not only acknowledged the headlines we've all been reading, but did so with a dose of self-deprecating, and opponent-deprecating, humor. While it was swell to see the candidates having fun, I was most excited that I got to laugh at this campaign, rather than sigh in disbelief, frustration, or suspense.
A List Candidates Want to Avoid: Biggest Debate Blunders!
Tonight is the last chance Barack Obama and John McCain have to show Americans how their visions for America differ. That's swell, but we all know what tonight's debate is really about — it's the last chance either candidate has to make a major blunder and self-inflict a campaign crippling wound. Esquire went back to the archives to find examples of how presidential campaigns destroyed years of campaigning during a few seconds of debate time.One Last Look at the Republican Convention: the Balloon Drop!
I was listening to McCain's nomination acceptance speech on the radio on the way to the airport yesterday and it sounded so different than it did in the arena. I actually got to hear the fiery end to the speech, the part where he said: Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here.
Three Common Penile Problems, Part III
You've learned about Hypospadias and Peyronie's disease and to close out this series, I'm going to talk about Balanitis. Balanitis is a fancy word for an inflammation on the head of the penis, and symptoms include redness or swelling, itching, rash, pain, and a foul-smelling discharge. Now that I've sparked your interest, click here to read more
General Election Prep Tips for Political Junkies: Part II
Yesterday I suggested that undecided voters and staunch supporters alike add Barack Obama's and John McCain's books to their summer reading lists, while mixing up their campaign information sources. Here are some other tips for surviving the marathon general election campaign.
- Tip #3: Articulate questions you would want to ask the candidates.
Do Your Testicles Feel Okay?
I'm wracking my brain trying to remember if I've ever seen a PSA for say, breast cancer, that seemed like its target audience was the Sesame Street crowd. (Is this how you have to speak to men to get them to worry about testicular cancer?) In any case, I can't complain, because I feel my life is complete after hearing the following lyrics: "If your balls are feeling lumpy, if they're tender or they're grumpy/If you notice you've got three then a doctor you should see/If they're swelling up your pants, don't miss your chance/Go see a physician." Well done!
80,000 Protest Beef Imports in South Korea, Government Hears
The right to assemble is alive and well in South Korea — and what's more, the government is paying attention. Between 80,000 and 100,000 people demonstrated last night in Seoul, the largest demonstration yet against a deal to resume imports of US beef into South Korea.
The South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said today his government intends to make a fresh start following the protests, and that his entire Cabinet has offered to resign in response to weeks of rallies against the incoming beef.
