There have been so many advances in both male and female contraception lately, it’s hard to keep track of which ones are the newest.  Devices and medical pills like the “morning after pill” or Plan B pill, which supposely reverses a pregnancy within the first few days after contraception from unprotected sex, the implanted device that was just recently FDA approved for female contraception, and the male birth control pill currently in the works by British scientists are just a few of the exciting developments in how to get busy with your partner without getting pregnant. 

The newest one is a chewable, and actually “good tasting” contraceptive pill for women, which replaces the need for the small, hard pills that are the tradition now.  Why we needed a chewable pill, I do not know, since the small traditional birth control pill seems that it is very easy to swallow, even for those who hate swallowing pills.  But nonetheless, it’s available on shelves now.

Supposedly the new chewable contraceptive pills are aimed at women who tend to forget to take the pill.  I’m guessing they think the fact that it is chewed and swallowed rather than just swallowed will make women remember better?  I don’t know, call me skeptical, but this seems kind of pointless, unless it give women better orgasms or something, what’s the point?

Apparently there are women who are actually allergic to semen, that stuff that contains men’s sperm which comes out when a man ejaculates (in case you missed sexual health 101 in high school:) 

Semen allergy is basically just like any other allergy, in that it irritates the place that it touches, the woman’s vagina, and it can be so severe in some women with this precarious allergy that it can actually induce anaphylactic shock. 

Women who are THIS allergic to men’s semen are actually urged to carry around an epipen, which is a self injected shot of epinephrine, more notoriously carried around by those with severe bee sting allergies in case they are stung. 

This means that women with severe allergies to semen can actually die if they are exposed to semen and are not treated within adequate time to reverse the allergic reaction to it.  It is a fairly rare condition, but actually many women have a very light case of semen sensitivity. 

The process by which medical professionals can help women with semen allergy is to do sort of a desensitization treatment where women are exposed to varying amounts of semen to desensitize their bodies to the presence of the foreign substance in their body and therefore overcome the body’s natural allergic reaction to the stuff. 

Doctors also prescribe frequent sex to women with semen allergies, so that they may further their contact with the substance and help to desensitize themselves further on an ongoing basis, and hopefully cure themselves of this unfortunate allergy once and for all.  Semen volume enhancers for men with partners with this allergy would probably not be recommended, fellas! 

You bet your bottom dollar they do.  Actually, I just put together a new page for Male Enhancement Magazine about a new clinical study that is currently in progress on this very subject - Best penis enlargement exercise programs. 

The clinical study is aimed at having several test subjects, men looking to increase the length and girth of their penis through exercise, complete specifically “prescribed” penis exercises at least 4 times per week. 

They are going to measure the results at the end of course, but already the results are incredibly promising.  The subjects are going to complete a full six month assessment, and they are of mixed race, gender and age. 

They are also being asked to rate their sexual satisfaction as well as penis size satisfaction periodically so researchers can see how these exercises are faring in that arena as well.

With specific, clinically backed penis enlargement exercises, you can achieve up to a 3″ penis size increase according to many who have tried it and/or studied this modality of size increase.  Interesting stuff, to say the least. 

It’s looking like testosterone replacement therapy as sort of an anti aging and overall health booster for older men may very well become like the HRT version for men, just as women get HRT to replace lost estrogen as they age.  You see, we all lose more and more of our sex hormones, in men’s case, androgens, as we age, and this causes many things in our lives to deteriorate which we associate with youth.

Things like sex drive, the ability to keep weight off, and other undesirable things result when we either have a shortage or an over abundance of testosterone.  Doctors who are testing our testosterone replacement therapy on older men believe that this infusion of testosterone in men with lower levels of the androgen may help to improve sexual function, mood, muscle mass, and other things that men typically enjoy as part of “being a man”. 

Men’s testosterone levels usually start to decrease at a noticeable rate after a man hits the age of 40.  This is when he may start to see significant differences in his functioning and in his body.  Some men resort to taking youth solutions like an HGH supplement which can help naturally boost levels of the youth hormone and create similar results as a hormone replacement therapy, just via a completely different method. 

The problem with this hormone replacement therapy for men is that testosterone can compromise prostate health by making prostate cancer multiply, so it must be administered with care and precaution, just as women’s HRT for menopause can make breast cancer multiply and controversially can even be linked to the actual development of breast cancer. 

The two formulas that would be available for testosterone replacement therapy would be a topical solution applied to the skin and absorbed transdermally, or injections. 

I recently watched an interesting segment on a news program the other day, and it was about how people (primarily women) will Google their potential mates to make sure they’re not shady, or at least to corroborate some of what this person has told them about themselves. 

Men are not so quick to admit the cyber snooping though, although we all know that men do it too, just maybe not as much as women.  In this day and age of the internet, we can get information about almost anyone we want to, both free and paid for, and people are really using this to their advantage in the single and dating world. 

People use the internet both to “look up” people they are dating or just getting to know, or maybe even someone they are interested in forming a relationship with, either out of sheer curiousity or just plain nosiness. 

Heck, chances are, you yourself have been googled once or twice before, depending on your popularity with the ladies.  So, when does it get to be a little invasive? Well, if you find yourself constantly looking someone up to see if there is any new information, chances are there is a reason you do not trust what they say, or if you find yourself paying for a service to get more information on the person, maybe it’s not such a good thing…..but a little cyber snooping never hurts!

This is quite an interesting product that I’ve recently seen, so interesting that I posted a review of this HGH product, called GENF20, which is a natural stimulator to the body to produce more HGH, or Human Growth Hormone, which is the hormone of youth.  It basically stops producing once we hit our early twenties, and this is what accounts for our steady decline when we reach our mid twenties. 

We start to have less energy naturally, our skin may start to sag and wrinkle (age), our hair begins to lose pigment (graying of the hair), we start to have a lower libido, we may not get as high quality of a sleep, and many many other things that aren’t so pleasant the majority of the time start to happen to our body and our mind as we age. 

 Oh, I forgot to mention that one too, our minds, memories and general sharpness tend to decline as we age, making it sometimes harder to focus and think critically and problem solve.  Well, as there are so many other natural and herbal products in development for self improvement and anti aging, or shall we say more graceful aging, there is a product called GenF20 HGH releaser which actually helps to stall the aging process by stimulating your own body’s resources to produce HGH once again, just like it did in the “good old days” of your youth. 

Most people who take it report an interesting array of benefits, everything from sleeping more soundly and having crazy energy, to hair color and texture imrpovement and a noticeably more youthful skin tone and plumpness to the skin.  It’s intriguing to say the least that there are products out there that can help us beat Father Time, or at least keep him at bay a bit longer. 

Looks like WHO isn’t gonna take it any more, and this time they are serious.  The illegal fake drug trade is one that is not only deceitful and hurts those that take it, but it also can kill people in the most extreme cases, and cause drug interactions that people may not be aware of since the labeling is not consistent or even true for that matter. 

The World Health Organization has finally recognized that this is a really big problem that is not going away on it’s own and has decided to institute serious measures to stop and prevent the illegal fake drug business from going further.  While it probably cannot stop it completely, it certainly is going to try.

This incredibly lucrative business is extremely abounding in poor countries especially, where citizens are more likely to buy fake male enhancement products just to get a reduction in price, often not knowing that what they are buying is a counterfeit knockoff of the real thing which most likely does not contain the exact same ingredients, and therefore may cause negative unknown reactions, or interactions with other medicines they may be on. 

Officials have estimated that fake drugs may account for almost 30% of the drug business in some countries for the reason that people are willing to buy the fakes at substantial discounto to save money, not knowing the risks they are taking. 

The WHO has convinced these country’s governments to monitor drug sales and activities much more closely, and also to treat the counterfeit drug market as a very serious offense and give punishment that accords with a serious offense, to curb the trade and discourage further involvement by the people who are dealing the fake drugs. 

The illegal fake drug market has also been very prominent on the internet, where it is nearly impossible to tell a legit pharmaceutical website from one that may be peddling counterfeit drugs that can potentially do you harm for a discount.  A good rule of thumb is that if the discount seems to good to be true, run the other way.
