Along with penis size, height, and the ability to get it up, the locus of many a dude's insecurities lies in his stamina, or ability to have sex for as long as it takes to satisfy his partner. This hilarious (for anyone who doesn't have a premature ejaculation problem!) Australian ad capitalizes on this insecurity.
Created for the Advanced Medical Institute, a Sydney-based provider of treatment programs for fun things like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, it shows the police breaking into a couple's bedroom and telling a one-minute man they'll give him a speeding ticket unless he calls AMI for help.

Earlier this week the BBC noted the results of a recent study suggesting that premature ejaculation, long thought to be a psychological disorder, may actually be genetic. According to the article, the men in the study who suffered from premature ejaculation had a variation of the gene that regulates serotonin levels — the hormone that controls, among other things, mood, appetite, and the speed at which ejaculation occurs.
And while this information will eventually help researchers create an effective treatment, for now there is no medication, leaving many couples searching for solutions to something that is often a serious detriment to a satisfying sex life.

Global research site OnePoll.com asked 15,000 women from 20 countries to rate the men they've slept with based on their country of origin, and the results are in: Germans were ranked the world's worst lovers because of their rankness, Brits came in second because they're "lazy," and the Swedes were deemed "too quick to finish," finishing third in this list no man wants to be on.
I like a little natural body odor on my bedmates (it beats a dude who reeks of cheap cologne), so I'm not sure this list works for everyone. But lazy and too quick?

FDA Warns about Dietary Supplements
In 2006 and 2007, the FDA issued numerous warnings about “natural” dietary supplements promoted for erectile dysfunction and sexual enhancement. These products -- marketed under names such as “True Man,” “Energy Max,” “Rhino Max”-- contain illegal substances that can interact with prescription drugs and dangerously lower blood pressure. The interaction risks are greatest for men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease who take prescription drugs that contain nitrates.

Search Continues for the "Male Pill"
Research is progressing on a male contraceptive, but there have also been setbacks. The drug miglustat (Zavesca), which is used to treat a rare condition called Gaucher's disease, had shown success in animal studies but failed to work in a clinical trial, according to results published in 2007 in Human Reproduction. Researchers are now investigating an experimental drug, Adjudin (AF-2364), which disrupts sperm production.

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Sexual dysfunctions cover a wide variety of disorders, including impotence and premature or delayed ejaculation in males, spasms of the vagina, pain with sexual intercourse, and problems with sexual desire (libido) and response. Men over age 65 are at increased risk for impotence, although impotence is not a normal part of aging. The causes of sexual disorders vary and include psychological problems and some medical conditions, such as illness or injury.
