It's a common stereotype that guys in their 20's are just interested in sowing their wild oats: drinking cheap beer, hanging out with their bros and having massive amounts of random sex. Not so true. A recent study by the Guttmacher Institute revealed that 53 percent of men in the 18-29 range (as opposed to 52 percent of women) would like to have children if circumstances allowed. Among men 25 and older, the number jumps to two thirds.

Scary fact: The study showed that a surprising number of young men didn't know much about contraception and conception.

Right around this time, my Amy and I decided to move to California. Perhaps a fresh start, a fresh perspective would help. 

My wife's doctor in NY sent her to a doctor in Beverly Hills, who sent her to a fertility specialist, who sent me a doctor whose first name sounded a lot like "Pappy." He was the doctor to see for guys whose guys need to get going. 

Pappy had a slightly goofy personality. … Read More

When I look back on the courtship that led to my marriage, I fast forward through a carousel of emotionally charged moments: the night we met, the night we first slept together (not the same), a postcard she sent me, our first weekend away together, a Ray Charles concert, a birthday party (mine), a birthday party (hers), a Hamptons summer rental, a Sam Cooke album, an Al Green concert, a vacation in Europe where I almost proposed but didn't, … Read More

As with all couples, the birth of our son, Emerson, on April 15, 2008, changed our family forever. For my wife and I, it ushered in an era of marital strife that we'd never experienced. Before Emerson's arrival we'd been able to focus exclusively on each other. Even without kids, our marriage required hard work, and we were only balancing the needs of each other. Now we had to consider him as well.

I had grown up in a service-oriented house, where actions were our way of showing love; my parents appreciated and rewarded obedience. As the middle child … Read More

SWF seeks an out-of-shape, weekend-binge-drinking man-child who still goes to KISS concerts and cannot kick his comic book habit even though he's well into his 40s. Must be choked by the umbilical cord of a domineering mother and live in a state of perpetual Catholic guilt that flares up when he misses Mass on Sunday or lingers too long on at a nasty corner of the World Wide Web. Lasting three minutes in the sack mandatory; five minutes a plus. 

Good God.

My elder daughter, who's 12, is just beginning to show an interest in boys, and since it's every man's … Read More

Lindsay Lohan is wondering where she was seven weeks ago and more importantly, who she was sleeping with. Between updating her online dating profile, rediscovering heterosexualism and vacationing with friends, the star's been so busy she forgot to keep track of who may have gotten her pregnant.

That's right. Pregnant.

According to blogger Ian Halperin, a close source confirmed that Lindsay is indeed seven weeks pregnant. "I swear she's carrying," the source said. "She’s going through big emotional turmoil. She’s not sure if she’ll have it or go through with an abortion that she booked to … Read More

Take a moment to recall a tiff with a lover, friend or family member that was as much your own fault as the other party's. If you're a woman, chances are thinking about your actions in that scenario will make you feel guilty and defensive, whereas a man will more likely feel empathy and forgiveness, according to 13 years of forgiveness research at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

While forgiveness for men happens through putting themselves in the other's shoes--which would explain why becoming a father often helps a guy forgive his own father's imperfections--it seems women take a … Read More
