Our friendsters over at Lemondrop (actually comedienne Brooke Van Poppelen) have something they want to say and it boils down to this: "Guys, don't shave your junk."

Modern men (some of 'em) are embracing their feminine side as modern women (some of 'em) are becoming more masculine. (Pretty soon we'll start going to the doctor before an injury is life-threatening.) As this Yin-Yang convergence occurs, interest in his looks, clothing and grooming is surging. Nowadays nearly a one-hundredth* of the shelf space for personal care items in pharmacies is now dedicated to men. Things like shave butter, hair "product" and David Beckham have colored how [some] men now comport themselves. 

So it was pretty much inevitable that the era of women being bare "down there" would migrate … Read More

I've tried to get my boyfriends to watch guy-on-guy porn with me. They're game to watch pseudo-lesbians paw each other, but they draw the line at man love. But there's a lot a guy could learn about sex by watching two dudes go at it. So, I've decided to give guys the cheat sheet on what they could learn from gay porn.

Every now and again there comes a time in your life in which you realize Diddy is completely right about something. For some people it's the moment they realize Proactiv Solution is a good treatment for acne (and increasing their sexy), some people come to terms with the value of the remix versus creating new beats whole cloth, and I came to terms with ridding myself of unwanted hair.

YourTango's Love Lexicon will reveal some words you may have never heard of. Words: Wingmutt, Sextile, and Manscaping.
