Subtle, efficient, and powerful, Viagra is a first-line agent of erection, along with its accomplices, Cialis and Levitra. True, there are other agents out there, such as penile implants and injections, but these three, the triumvirate of pills, are the go-to agents, because they work so well for so many people. Viagra wasn’t so much […]
You might have “practiced” the art of baby making for quite a while. But have you actually tried to make a real baby? What does it mean when a couple says they’re “trying”, besides jettisoning the condoms, scheduling free time, and practicing your “sore throat” voice for calling in sick to work. No one teaches […]
There is a bit of mystery that surrounds the average erection. The key to an erection lies within the male brain, through visual, auditory, or imagined stimuli, or through manual stimulation. Upon stimulation, the arteries within the penis relax, and blood flows into the penis at more than 20 times the normal rate. The spongy […]

Recently, sitting face to face with an infertile patient, I asked him what the first thing was that came to his mind after being told that he had no sperm count. After a short silence in which his eyes gazed downward and then back again toward me, he stated, quietly “I thought it might be the […]
We saw it coming. We created stem cells from testis tissue and published it earlier this year and I mentioned previously that it should be possible to do the opposite and create spermfrom stem cells. Well, as announced yesterday from a research group in Britain, that possibility is closer to becoming a reality. Sperm created […]
Most Americans wake up, rub the sleep out of their eyes, clean up and rush out the door. Breakfast is an afterthought. But soon after that, stomachs start to growl for some food energy. But by now it’s gotten a bit too late, and no oatmeal or egg will suffice. It’s time for doughnuts, or […]
Ok, you have been reading about men’s health on this blog for months. Now it’s time for a little quiz. Number two pencil’s out? 1. True or False: Real men don’t cry or express emotion. False. Ever see Marlon Brando in Streetcar Named Desire, yelling Stella’s name in the streets? Too bad that men who […]
