Premature ejaculation is a rather common, yet rarely discussed problem. It occurs when a man orgasms during intercourse sooner than he or his sexual partner would like resulting in embarassment a lot of times and leaving both individuals unfulfilled. It can occur from before penetration or just after penetration. Premature ejaculation is rarely caused by a physical or structural problem. Most commonly, it is a result of overstimulation or anxiety.Abnormal physical findings are rare and more insight can usually be obtained by interviewing the couple involved. Many times, the root of the problem maybe uncovered and steps taken to improve the problem.Methods to improve the conditon are many. Practice and relaxation can many times improve the problem. Men may try to learn to distract themselves by thinking of non-sexual subjects to avoid becoming excited too fast. Examples include thinking about the upcoming football game on the weekend or what new movie can we go to next. Sounds funny, but merely shifting thoughts away from the current task will many times help.Medications can help delay ejaculation. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors like Prozac, Zoloft, or Paxil may be helpful because they all have a common side effect of prolonging the time it takes to achieve ejaculation. Clomipramine 25 mg prior to intercourse has also been shown to help significantly. Local anesthetic creams may be applied to the penis to decrease stimulation. Decreased feeling in the penis may prolong the time before ejaculation. Condom use may also have this effect on some men.If all of these methods fail, an evaluation by a sex therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist may be helpful for some couples. In most instances, a man is able to obtain ejaculatory control through education and practice of the simple techniques outlines above. Persistant premature ejaculation may be a sign of depression or a serious anxiety problem, both of which could be helped by psychiatric evaluation and intervention.A persistant problem of ejaculatory control may lead to sexual dissatisfaction on the part of one or both partners and can lead to discord or sexual tension in a realtionship. In a younger couple wishing to start a family, this problem can obviously affect the chances of fertilization and pregnancy.If the above measures do not help, call your physician to set up an appointment to discuss medical treatment. I also highly recommend the following as it has helped many with this problem. I have goten very positive feedback from my patients who have purchased this treatise on the subject and the cure.

Breast Cancer - A Growing Danger For Overweight Men And Women
Talk about breast cancer and naturally, people think of the disease that is the number one cancer among women. But the truth is that breast cancer is on the rise among both women and men, and researchers think the national obesity crisis may be to blame.
With two-thirds of Americans now overweight, we can probably expect more obesity-related cancers. But on the brighter side, weight problems are extremely treatable, even preventable. So to the extent overweight is contributing to cancer, this is one risk factor we may actually have some real control over.
Just how we go about getting that control appears to be critical, though. Even among the most motivated of people, we see that very few are successful in independent efforts to lose weight, even if their life depends on it. And among cancer patients, it clearly does.
Consider some of the numbers: breast cancer in women increased by 52 percent from 1973 to 1998. Part of that increase can be accounted for by better detection, because mammography is much more available than it was 30 years ago. But use of post-menopausal estrogen supplements has also become routine, and these have been clearly linked to cancer in women.
But in that same period, incidence of breast cancer among men increased by 26 percent, and that’s without the ingested estrogen and without the extra detection offered by mammography, since men typically don’t pursue that procedure.
So what else is going on? Experts say the increase in breast cancer in both sexes seems to closely track the increase in American obesity, giving rise to the theory that the obesity crisis may actually be to blame for the boom in breast cancer.
Obesity has been shown to have a clear relationship with some cancers, but not with others. For instance, there does not appear to be any correlation between overweight and prostate cancer in men. Or sometimes, the relation is clear, but the reasons aren’t. Hence, researchers are looking at whether acid reflux in overweight people might account for their greater incidence of esophogeal cancer.
But with breast cancer, there is at least one known culprit: all that excess estrogen. Fatty tissue produces estrogen, in both men and women.
Studies of menopausal women make the case most clearly. Before menopause, the ovaries are the primary source of estrogen. But after menopause, when the ovaries have retired from that duty, fatty tissues are the main estrogen source.
Among postmenopausal women, estrogen levels are 50 to 100 percent higher in heavy women, compared to those of healthy weight. Similar ratios are found among men.
And when estrogen-sensitive tissues get more estrogen exposure, that leads to more growth of estrogen-responsive breast tumors.
Researchers figure that between 11,000 and 18,000 breast cancer deaths per year could be avoided in American women over age 50, if they could maintain a healthy body weight throughout their adult lives. There are no similar guesstimates for men, because while breast cancer is a growing problem for men, there is little research on mortality rates among males, and it is still less of a concern than heart disease or prostate and colon cancer.
But obesity puts men at higher risk for these diseases, as well, so the imperative is to drop that excess weight, or at least some of it. There’s abundant evidence that even a minor weight loss reaps huge rewards for health. So how do you do it?
It’s tough, especially if you’re an older person, and the average age of diagnosis for breast cancer is 62 among women, and 67 among men.
Motivation counts, but the research shows that it’s not enough. People need help. For instance, who would be more motivated to lose weight than a heavy person who had already survived cancer?
An overweight survivor has a double whammy when it comes to risk of recurrence, but a study published earlier this year in Obesity Research said that even among that motivated group, people left to their own devices, or those who only had a group program did not achieve much weight loss.
This is no surprise to those of us who have treated obesity for years. We see people who have tried diet after diet, joined gym and club and fellowship alike, all to no avail. But when they are treated with a comprehensive diet and lifestyle modification program that has been designed specifically for them, things change.
In this latest study, the researchers were pretty unequivocal, concluding that “for breast cancer survivors to lose weight to reduce risk factors, intervention is necessary. Of the different intervention regimens, individualized counseling combined with attending weekly … meetings was most effective….”
When you’re facing a chocolate éclair, death is perhaps too abstract an idea, even if you’ve only narrowly escaped it. Without some real retraining, it’s hard to equate even the greasiest burger with a lethal tumor. But professional support makes all the difference.
For instance, I’ve been tracking insulin levels in weight management patients for years, because we know that high insulin levels indicate a metabolic abnormality that leads to diabetes and weight gain. Now recent research shows that elevated insulin levels are also a risk factor for breast cancer recurrence.
Yet very specific changes in lifestyle and diet can significantly reduce insulin levels in days to weeks, immediately reducing those disease risks. The disembodied threat of disease is sometimes hard for people to get their arms around, but when patients can look at their lab results and see how their behavioral changes directly affect their blood chemistry, it hits home.
What happens to patients’ bodies on the inside as they lose weight is more important than the changes they get on the outside, but even at the best health clubs or peer support groups, they won’t have an opportunity to see that.
It’s inspiring to see how people embrace a fitness and weight-loss program when they have more than just a bathroom scale to tell them that it’s working. Consistent and reliable guidance is essential because nobody goes from obese to healthy overnight. It takes time.
But cancer takes time, too, so the race is on. With the proper help, this is a race both men and women have great odds of winning.
THROUGH THICK & THIN
Breast cancer is a growing risk for both men and women, and it’s a cancer for which the obesity link has been clearly established. Fat produces excess estrogen; excess estrogen produces breast cancer. And in the reverse, weight loss reduces cancer risk. The data are clear, but it doesn’t make the task any easier. What does make it easier, and more successful, is professional help - and the sooner the better.

Grooming Secrets For Men
When it comes to looking great and grooming issues, somehow men were left out of the loop. This is unfortunate, because in this day and age, men want to know! They want to know how to have great looking skin, get the best shave, how to trim unwanted body hair, how to walk so they're more attractive, and on and on and on.
Sure you can go to a spa or salon, but there's so much you can do from home that makes a huge difference, but you have to know what to do. In the book "Grooming Secrets For Men" everything is explained in detail. The best part is, you can do it all from home. For example, a lot of guys don't even know what skin type they are - dry, normal or oily skin. When looking for skin care products if you don't know which skin type you are, you're not going to select the correct product(s). Most products these days for men and women usually say "for dry skin" or "for oily skin." If you don’t select the correct products, you’re not going to see the results you’re looking for.
A lot of men also have lots of body hair or body hair in certain places they'd rather not have it. If you have a hair trimmer like the Peanut by Wahl, which has several blade covers to choose from, you can trim hair on any part of the body including your "privates". But again, you have to know what you're doing. You don't want to trim the hair on your arms, legs, and chest so severe that it looks like you "did" something. You want to trim it so it looks natural but short. This takes practice and patience. You have to determine which blade cover (usually numbered 1 through 4) gives you the most natural look. Try the different blade covers on a small area of your arm or leg and see how you like it. Don't go too short too soon. If you go too short, you obviously won't be able to "fix" it until it grows back. If you trim just a little you can see how you like it and then go shorter. Trimming pubic hair is also a popular area that guys like to trim. It really does look good to trim your pubic hair when you know what you're doing.
In a book like "Grooming Secrets For Men" at www.thestylishman.com you can find out about different grooming techniques and decide which ones you want to try. Having great looking skin, the perfect shave, trimmed body hair, and just overall looking your personal best is a great self-esteem enahcner. The main thing to remember when doing all you can to look your best, is that it’s perfectly natural and normal to want to look your best, but don't forget what really makes you attractive is your personality, being a good person and helping others. If you do what you can to look your best coupled with being a good person, you’ve got it all!
