You’re 71. You’re Male. You’re Pregnant. Congratulations!

Move over, Thomas Beatie, there’s a new pregnant man in town. At least that’s what he’s been told.
When 71-year-old John Grady Pippen got his discharge papers after visiting Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach, Oregon, they read: “Based on your visit today, we know you are pregnant.”
Sure, Pippen was seen for abdominal pain, but […]

So you enjoy the occasional cigar, do you? Well, if you’re in the camp that believes cigarette smoking is a no-no, but the occasional cigar is no biggie, think again. A recent article in Men’s Health lists the following as possible side effects to cigar smoking:

* Frequent daily cigar smoking […]

Sexbolt Saturday: Allergic to Semen? Yes, It’s Possible

Did you know that it’s possible to be allergic to the white stuff (and I’m not talking milk here, people). Yep, that very tangible sign of a guy’s pleasure can leave his partner red, itchy, blotchy and more.
What causes this is a sensitivity to the proteins in a guy’s semen, a condition which actually has […]

Friday Fun: Share Your Freaky and Flippy Dreams

var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(234,351,114490,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()
Inspired by Angela at Breastfeeding 1-2-3’s dream post from earlier this week, I’ve decided to grant you all Friday afternoon slack time to ditch work in exchange for gabbing online about your weirdest/wackiest/flippiest dreams. They can be recurring or one-time shots, but I’m sure we’d all love a little insight into […]

var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(234,353,114338,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()
Okay, all you pessimistic poops, now there’s a reason to take that oh-so-annoying Susie Sunshine a little more seriously. A recent study published in Psychosomatic Medicine reveals that people who choose to look at the glass as half full are 33% less likely to get sick when exposed to a virus. […]

If you’re heading out into the wilderness for some nature-like fun (not my bag, but hey, to each his own), you may come across a bear at some point. You are in their habitat, after all. And while this is scarier than the release of Gigli, there are certain steps you […]

Putting Men in the Hot Seat May be Bad for Our Future

var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(234,155,108480,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()
With cold weather fast-approaching in the bulk of the U.S., methinks there are going to be plenty of seats heating up in cars across the nation. After all, that’s one of those luxuries we doled out big money for when we all purchased our gas-guzzling SUVs, right? Exactly.

var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(234,155,103542,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()

Allow me to piggyback on Liz’s post from earlier today and explore another possible reason for the obesity epidemic (one that’s probably a very likely part of the equation) - The Great American Buffet Table.
According to my local newspaper, there is a new study out which suggests that sitting too close […]
