erectile dysfunction
A never-ending erection leads to a lawsuit. Booze leads to a terrible tattoo.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a man from my home state of Georgia turned a serious go of priapism into a huge windfall.
Per the story, a truck driver from DeKalb County (the "L" is silent), sought treatment for his erectile dysfunction from Boston Men's Health Center (a national and international series of male-focused clinics headquartered in Florida). They gave him a syringe of a proprietary compound and told him to inject his junk with the formula thrice a week. He did so, suffered prolonged erections, and is now scarred and permanently damaged.

Testosterone spray Axiron could solve some man problems.
According to Bloomberg, the company Acrux may be on the way to making some big dollars and some couples really happy. The company is testing a testosterone-boosting drug called Axiron that restores hormone levels to normal in 84 percent of test subjects after four months of testing.
As you may know, low man-juice (testosterone, in this case) can lead to memory loss, osteoporosis and erectile malfunctions. Obviously, the major selling point for the drug, which is applied via underarm spray, is as tonic for Erectile Dysfunction. Read: Why Do Older Men Get ED?

Receding hairlines, love handles, waning erections... the list of male insecurities goes on and on.
You'll never see a dude turn to another dude and ask, "Do I look fat in these pants?" But that doesn't mean men are invulnerable to insecurities, no matter how much we'd like to think so. Women are upfront about their fears, doubts, and self-esteem. I used to think it was just compulsive gabbiness, a quirk of the fairer sex. But, in fact, it is an admirable coping mechanism that's even a little bit courageous. That said, I'll sack up and admit that I've spent a lot of my life feeling like a fatty, a chubasaurus, half-man and half-marshmallow. Read More
There is a thick line between Priapism and regular hilariously inopportune erections.
According to Asylum, an ex-con named Dawud Yaduallah is suing New York's penal system (heh) over failure to treat his 55-hour erection. Per the suit, the former guest of the state was told to ice down his groin by the prison's female nurse and was not admitted to a hospital for two days. This Priapism case was the gift that kept giving as it led to erectile dysfunction, painful sex (not in a Mellencamp kind of way) and the inability to climax (b-ing an l, if you will). While I would imagine that a female nurse (is … Read More
Being a relationship doormat, weird advertising from Viagra, Eliot Spitzer in the aftermath.
Love Bytes: three must click sex, dating and relationship links.This woman pays her boyfriend's bills, he lies about his spending, and for some reason she doesn't know what to do. Seriously, what's there to be confused about? [Smitten]He's an apprentice in school right now, so he's on government loans until he goes back to work. The funds are not enough to cover his bills, so I have been paying the rent in full, his insurance and truck payments, his phone and credit card bills, and giving him other spending money--all on top of my own bills. I absolutely … Read More
A happily married man explains how an occasional strip club visit helps keep his marriage hot.
During a recent business trip, I found myself shoe-horned into the back of a taxi with colleagues in various stages of inebriation, hurtling through chancy neighborhoods of Baltimore. I was on my Blackberry with my wife, going through the litany of "kids/mail/bills/when are you coming home/this single mother crap is getting old" when the cabbie abruptly stopped at our destination. "Gotta go, hon," I said. "We just pulled up to the strip club." My colleagues turned their heads my way, mouths open.
"You told her you were going here tonight?" one colleague asked.
"My wife would throw my junk on the … Read More
Who would have guessed.
Look out, Viagra! Your long stint of unrivaled success may come up against a new competitor in a few years. What's behind this new threat to the mighty blue pill? The malodorous (some may say nauseating) gas, hydrogen sulfide. That's the substance responsible for the stench of flatulence, rotten eggs and car exhaust, the unpleasant smell that makes us scrunch up our noses and 10-year-old boys curl over with laughter.
This doesn't mean anyone should bottle up the fumes and take a big whiff before engaging in a lovemaking session. But the discovery that the gas plays a role … Read More
From attraction to hormones to erectile dysfunction, weight loss is a sex panacea.
As part of my series on things that are painfully obvious if you ever think about it, it's been revealed that obese men have problems with sex. And these problems are not just of the physics or the turning ladies to jelly variety.
According to US News (they've dropped the "World Report" for budgetary reasons), the hormonal changes associated with weight gain in men makes his sex life less satisfactory. As BMI goes up sperm count goes down (not bad for a singleton, I suppose), but so do libido and general desire (not to mention desirability). It's … Read More
"Low risk drinkers" are at less risk for erectile dysfunction than teetotalers, so what?
According to some bit of research that congealed early this week and it appears that men who put down 4 drinks are "low risk drinkers" (or f*cking amateurs as I call them) are actually better off in the sack. Jezebel, ever vigilant of things that may affect smart, beautiful, smug women, goes on to say that teetotalers (or Flanderses) have a greater instance of erectile dysfunction than even abject boozeheads. Jazzy-belle goes on to caution that this booze equals boners revelation only applies to the long-term implications of drinking and that powering through a dozen well-placed Harvey … Read More
NBC rejects suggestive PETA commercial as obscene.
Vegetarians behind People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) say their meat-free diets make their sex lives superior, but NBC will hear nothing of it. The network rejected PETA's racy "Veggie Love" Super Bowl commercial, saying it depicts a level of sexuality that exceeds their standards. (Was it the suggestion of asparagus penetration or the suggestive pumpkin licking?) Actually, NBC submitted a blush-worthy list of additional shots to be cut before the commercial is resubmitted. It included "touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli," "pumpkin from behind between legs," "rubbing … Read More
