Rx vs. XXX

People can take all the offense they want but the facts are the facts. Numerous studies just like this one show the exact same thing. Going to the same job, coming home to the same house, kissing the same wife and playing with the same 2.5 kids every day becomes routine and mundane on a physiological level. Testosterone is truly there to drive sex drive and increase the "masculine" traits (being a physical protector, attracting a mate, being driven). If you don't need to attract a new mate, have sex 1.4 times per month, and you've been at the same job for awhile, and you don't have occasion to be or potentially be in physical confrontation, your "T" levels WILL drop. Sorry; end of story. No argument. Science is science and you may not like it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't apply to you.

So while the author may be taking poetic liberties with wording, this is not something to be offended by. You may love your wife deeply, and enjoy your job, and cherish your kids... None of these changes anything on a physiological level.

If you give me a choice between the natural and the chemical treatment of any condition

We will hold you to that when you get cancer!

Janedear, your comment is yet again another sad example of todays self-pitying American woman finding more ways to feel victimized. First of all the highest percentage of child abuse is commited by women, not men who view porn, second you stated (RISE IN VAGINAL SURGERIES TO PLEASE MEN) OH PLEASE! There are over 3,000 unnessary circumcisions performed on baby boys every day because AMERICAN WOMEN have contempt for intact male genitals, unlike 87% of the world who doesn't multilate boys by removing 50-75% of flesh and most of the sensory nerve endings off of the organ. Women who have vaginal sugeries often to so to enhance sensory nerves for more pleasure and do so by choice.
It would be nice for once if a women would speak out on behalf of male issues in this country instead of always demonizing men. Why don't you talk about shorter male life expectancy, less spending on mens health care, men making up 80% of sucides, men making up over 90% of work place fatalities, men paying 75% of the taxes to a system that does nothing to benifit them except entitle women to their pensions and take their children from them.

Janedear and chubsoda, you are both wrong on so many levels.

First of all, Janedear, an argument always seems less valid when you decide to capitalize your entire statement. Secondly, in the porn industry today, women have so much power. They could make thousands of dollars for a film and many of them are millionaires. In fact I could argue that while Hollywood is still a male dominated industry, in pornography, it???s the women who get to choose what they do, for how much, and who they do it with.

Obviously, I am referring strictly to legal pornography. Chubsuda, to suggest that all pornography subjugates children would be to say that everyone who has sex is a child rapist. Just as someone can have legal consensual sex, the vast majority of people that watch porn watch legal consensual sex.

In fact, the appeal of porn is that it allows people to do things that people wouldn???t be able to do in the normal lives. So Janedear, what facts do you have that watching porn increases adultery? In fact, I wouldn???t be surprised if it prevents people from going and cheating.

???FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, MEN PURSUED WOMEN AND SENT THEM LOVE POETRY.??? What? Some of the earliest known drawings dating back thousands of years are pornographic images. Are you so naïve that you actually believe that the only thing men did when they were horny before Playboy was write love poetry? ???AND THEY WANT US TO SLEEP WITH OUR SISTER.??? I don???t even know how to respond to that.

You have this idea that the world before the Internet was full of respect for women. It???s actually only since the rise of feminism that we have seen an increase in pornography. So anytime women are subjugated it???s because of porn? Middle Eastern countries make porn illegal, yet in many places women can???t show their faces and go to work or school without a man???s permission. In Sudan, there were hundreds of thousands or millions of rape during the genocide in Darfur. Is that because they had too much porn over there?

What you say may or not be true but in either case, do as those who are against abortion are told: don't do what you think is wrong for you, the rest of us will make our own decisions on all things that at the time of the decision happen to be legal and strictly a moral dilema for those against them.

Janedear is correct. Not only does it victimize women and children, mind you, but also young males in the gay industry. One more thing; it supports human trafficking. Unfortunately, when you 'click' on any one porn site, the web owner gets paid for the 'click'. The money the web site owner receives will use this money to induce and influence homeless girls and boys and adults into false promises which in turn usually end up being drug and porn related. This happens in countries all over the world. So remember that every time you click on a porn site, you're potentially helping in the trafficking of humans. It's easy to forget this when you're looking at the site objectively and forgetting that many of these folks have been forced into this. There are many folks who voluntarily do this, but because there is no "message" telling you differently, it's best to err on the side of caution and not visit a site.

The answer to a "wife that walks around with her husbands balls in her pocket" is not to buy, just short term lease, in this case ownership has little advantage!

Boy, you sound angry! Maybe you should get some counseling about getting along with your wife!

Yours is the classic story of why we don't NEED???/want a nationalized, socialized heath care system of rationed Obama-care.

I ran into the same thing when I was in the Navy. Had migraines for almost 2 years until a new doctor arrived on my ship. The first time I saw him for anything, he looked at my medical record, called in the chief corpsman and asked if I had been sent to the neurologist or Headache clinic at base hospital. He was told no, that previous Dr "felt" I was exaggerating or Faking it, even though me BP was 120 over 210 and was having to be shot with Demerol at least once a week for headache pain and other symptoms. He sent me the next day. Within a month of seeing neurologist and starting a treatment regimen, I was down to less than one Migraine a month and it was treatable with the lowest dose of self-administered abortive medications. Two years later when that doctor left, I went to his replacement on the ship to get my medications refilled. The new guy, looked at my "chart" and said, "Your to young to be on all this Sh!t" and refused to refill my medications, several of which had warnings labels to not abruptly stop taking them. I had a couple of doses left. This new doc was an LT ( O-2). Luckily we pulled back into port before I ran out of meds. I call the neurologist, a LT Commander ( O-5), and told him about my situation and the other doc comments. His exact words were: "Oh really! Come by the hospital pharmacy immediately and I have them ready for you. I'll give LT so-and-so a call and take care this misunderstanding. Let me know if you have any other problems". The following month when I went to get my refills, the look I got from the ships new Dr would have killed, but he filled my scripts without a word. I found things out later from a couple of the corpsmen I was friends with. Seems this Dr was of the opinion that anyone that came to "sick call" wasn't really sick and was "goal-bricking" to be lazy and get out of working. Second thing was that evidently the neurologist (O-5) had called over and quite loudly explained to the ship's doctor (the O-2) how he didn't appreciate him not following his "orders" for my treatment and countermanding them without due authority. The he was to follow them in the future and if required he would come over to the ship and explain it to him personally. Further, that he better not hear of anything like this happening in the future for any other patients either. He then asked to speak to the chief corpsmen and told him that he had his approval to follow his prescribed treatment and medications for me, and to contact him if there was ever a question."
