Here's some simple advice he recently shared with Asylum.

Girlfriends and wives who get too friendly with their fella's pals could cause him to have problems in the sack. According to new research published in the American Journal of Sociology, this phenonmenon called "partner betweenness" causes some men to suffer from erectile dysfunction.

The research is based on a 2005 study which surveyed 3,005 men, 57 to 85 years old. Since guys tend to rely on their male friendships to fuel their sense of masculinity, ladies can threaten those macho feelings when they bust in on bromances.

Meet Randy Hastings, the world's first gay male naked therapist. Currently in training at Sarah White Therapy, the original Naked Therapy™ practice, Randy is accepting clients via web cam and in person.

Why Naked Therapy you ask? Why not?

One of the core principles is based on the assertion that in our sex-saturated internet world, traditional therapy methods are irrelevant. People need to learn to integrate their rational selves with their aroused selves so they don't engage in self-destructive and uncontrollable acts of "arousal frenzy."

The folks at Men’s Health are at it again. While in the past they’ve covered everything from obesity, alcoholism, and sex, this month the popular men's magazine ranks America’s most sedentary cities.

To identify the nation’s laziest locales, Men’s Health looked at “where and how often people exercise (Experian Marketing Services); the percentage of households that watch more than 15 hours of cable a week and buy more than 11 video games a year (Mediamark Research); and the rate of deaths from deep-vein thrombosis, a condition linked to a lot of sitting (CDC).” The results?
