men health?

my bf is uncircumcised..not that i have a problem it…hes 23, i know this is not common for most men…but are there any risks for him of being uncircumcised…like infections or anything like that? or is it better to have the foreskin removed? lol

Most guys in the world are uncircumcised. That includes Europeans, Latin Americans, and Japanese and Chinese. The United States is the last remaining advanced nation to do this surgery on a big scale, but it’s becoming less popular. In some states, the rates of circumcision have dropped to as low as 14%.

Most likely his parents wanted him to have a choice, after all, it is his penis and not anyone others to chop off stuff to affect his sexual pleasures in the feature. That, or they did not want to put their son through this.

BTW, if you need information on how a foreskin works, it slides up and down to rub and stimulate the head. Since it’s already lubricated (just like your eyelids) it feels very good.

He lives in a developed country. That means he showers frequently, that means it’ll stay clean if you just pulls it back and rubs the head. It’s very simple, quick, and feels good. I’ve never had a problem with keeping clean. =)

Removing the foreskin without medical reasons would put him in high risk of losing sensitivity and pleasure, and making masturbation more difficult. Some other studies have even found higher ED rates after circumcision. So it’s best to just leave it there and enjoy what he has.

A Woman’s Guide to Sleep: Guaranteed Solutions for a Good Night’s Rest $0.99 How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Five? Six? None? You’re not alone. Most women get far less sleep than they need — in any given month more than half report symptoms of insomnia. Women’s sleep problems are different from men’s because they have a different biology, psychology, and sleep patterns. A Woman’s Guide to Sleep is the first book to address your unique needs, and offer proven solutions that work.Your sleep is affected by many factors. Fluctuating hormones — whether it’s PMS, pregnancy, or menopause — can wreak havoc on your sleep. If you’ve just given birth, you stand to lose 700 hours of sleep your baby’s first year! The “architecture” of your sleep changes as you age, and you might find yourself suddenly waking hours off schedule. Health problems that affect women disproportionately, such as depression and pain syndromes, also erode healthy sleep. What you eat — or don’t eat, if you’re dieting — can sabotage your nights, as can that nightcap you have. And social pressures — juggling work, home, and parenting — can fill your nights with anxiety instead of restful sleep. These unique problems require unique solutions. Dr. Joyce A. Walsleben, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the NYU School of Medicine, and Rita Baron-Faust, a leading writer for women’s health issues, explain how sleep problems arise and how to combat them with the right sleep-promoting foods, supplements, exercise, stress reducers, and biorhythm adjustments, as well as with prescription, over-the-counter, and alternative treatments. You’ll learn to avoid the sleep robbers hidden in many common foods, medications, andsupplements. Drawn from Dr. Walsleben’s more than twenty years as a sleep researcher and clinician, many of these solutions are simple, surprising, and low-tech — and they really work.This book also tells you how to get a good night’s sleep when your partner is the one tossing

Addictions in the Gay and Lesbian Community $1.99 Gain fresh insights into the social, psychological, and biochemical aspects of substance and sexual addictions!Addictions in the Gay and Lesbian Community explores the unique clinical considerations involved in addiction treatment for gay and lesbian clients. Using approaches ranging from Jungian analysis to cognitive therapy to twelve-step programs, the researchers and clinicians represented here share their expertise in working clinically with drug and alcohol problems as well as compulsive sexual behaviors in gay men and lesbians.Effectively treating addictions in gay men and lesbians requires the clinician to understand not only the basic patterns of use and abuse, but also to recognize and address the clients’special concerns. Gay and lesbian clients often face a variety of social and emotional barriers to overcoming addictive behaviors, including:• internalized homophobia leading to deep feelings of shame about their sexual needs• the need to stay closeted or face unacceptable consequences affecting work, friends, and family• the temptations of circuit parties and gay bars• feelings of social isolation and a desperate desire to fit in through use of drugs or alcohol• the interlocking role of drugs and sex, homophobia, shame, secrets, and loneliness• mainstream treatment options that fail to address gay- and lesbian-specific issues and identities Addictions in the Gay and Lesbian Community offers both personal experiences of addiction and recovery and insightful original research into the sources and treatment of addictions among gays and lesbians. It provides scholarly examinations of successful techniques for evaluating and treating gay and lesbian adolescents, professionals, and health-care workers, as well as a discussion of a treatment center geared to the needs of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals suffering from addiction.
