For mens health erectile dysfunction is one of the most difficult problems. Failures in the sexual life of mens health are more often called impotence. However, this is not quite true.

The new man in my life tells me that he had penile cancer some time ago, and that now he's fine. We have not been intimate, so I have no idea whether his penis is disfigured in some way. Is it? Could I catch anything from him?Answer: You might catch all sorts of things from unprotected sex, but cancer is not one of them. Cancer is not a transmissible disease.

If you insist on condoms, which you should in any case, you won't be able to tell whether his penis is in any way visibly affected by his treatments. Dear Isadora: I have been sexually active for more than 20 years, but I still don't know if I have ever had an orgasm. How can I know for sure?

Answer: Have you ever tried to stop a sneeze by pinching your nose closed or holding a finger underneath? You get a tickle, the "ah, ah, ah" part, but no "CHOO!" When you sneeze with no interference, there is the "ah, ah, ah" part, the buildup of tension, the catching of your breath and then the shuddering release, sometimes with a loud explosion, sometimes with a small spasm, but a definite sense of buildup and then release. That's what an orgasm is.

All men watch pornographic videos but it does not impact on their sexual habits or their relationships with women, a Canadian researcher has maintained after a two-year study.

"It would be like saying that vodka ads lead to alcoholism," the sociologist said. The majority watches X-rated movies to satisfy a "fringe fantasy," according to his research, and it would be unfair to extrapolate from that that it leads to criminal behavior.

Lajeunesse said he had difficulty setting up the study as adult video stores and sex shops refused to allow him to post notices inviting men to participate. A handful of universities permitted him to address their campuses, and after appealing to some 2,000 mostly women students to take part, 20 heterosexual men agreed to discuss their sex lives in depth.
