Sexy secret to looking younger. IT may sound too good to be true but the secret of prolonged youth is much simpler than strict dietary regimes and expensive cosmetics. The most effective way to keep your looks, according to the latest comprehensive research, is to maintain an active love life. Couples who make love three times a week look seven years more youthful than their less romantically

Talks that may trigger 'sex'. A prolonged foreplay, a sexy bedroom surprise, a scintillating candle lit dinner and out-of-the-box seduction techniques – couples use all the above methods to woo their partner in bed. But very few couples know that sometimes all it takes is a subtle conversation to trigger off a steamy sex session. Conversations that lead to sex act are like potent launching

Getting a Job in the New Administration. Thousands of positions must be filled; volunteer or work your connections. If Barack Obama inspired you so much that after voting for him you now want to work for him, there are thousands of jobs to be had in the new administration.There are coveted presidential appointments and a huge array of staff positions. But you have to start the ball rolling right

Six Common Job Search Mistakes: Can You Recover?. In 20 years of career consulting, Karen Masullo has seen more job search mistakes than she can remember. There is one mistake, however, that she still chuckles about today:"My most memorable experience with a résumé mistake was a young woman who insisted she did not need my help with the development, review or editing of her résumé," Masullo

Damage Control for Your Job Search. Whether you're a first-time job seeker or a seasoned pro, you're bound to encounter a few bumps in the road to job search success. In fact, very few people are able to say their job hunt was flawless. Many make mistakes such as flaking out on opportunities to network or forgetting the name of an interviewer. Others are passionate about finding a new job, but

Should You Launch a Job Search in Today's Economy?. For many people, finding a new job tops their list of New Year's resolutions. But deciding whether to remain with your current employer or brave the job-search waters can be especially difficult during a downturn. Conventional wisdom says it's better to stay put during uncertain times if you're a tenured staff member.While your length of service

How to Identify Your Transferable Skills. This "finding a career" thing is tricky business. You go to college and major in one thing -- but find yourself in a job opposite from what you spent four years studying. Or, you land a job that's exactly in line with your college major -- but discover it's not what you had in mind. Or even still, you score a gig doing what you love and are content for

Your foreskin. At some point in human history, some guy thought it would be a great idea to have men chop the ends of their Jerry’s off at birth. Since then, circumcision has become a part of human culture, and the supreme nemesis of the humble foreskin. History shows that circumcision goes back even further than we may assume, before recorded history, and originating in East Africa somewhere. It

The lowdown on your testicles. How they work. It's happened to all of us. We see a cricket player take a direct hit from an off-spinner and chuckle ruefully. Men know that even a glancing blow can be excruciating. Your testicles are two rubbery but extremely fragile 'eggs' hanging side-by-side in arguably the ugliest but most functional device in the human body. The scrotum is built for function

The lowdown on the penis. The heart may be regarded as the seat of the soul, but the penis is the autopilot - the joystick, if you will. No other part of male physique causes men as much anguish, self-doubt and pride. We brag, joke and lie about it. And despite urban legends and some unsettling wide-screen skin flicks, we’re all created more or less equal. How it worksIt’s a truly wonderful

What's wrong with my penis?. Many men don't know a whole lot about the workings of their penis and most of us don't worry much about its general well-being either, which is all a bit surprising, considering how important it tends to be to most of us. But things do go wrong. There are a number of disorders and ailments that can afflict the penis and then of course there are the dreaded STIs (

How an erection happens. The penis is a wondrous contraption! This much we can say without too much exaggeration. Sure, it’s the testicles, the prostate gland and the seminal vesicles that produce the semen, but it’s the remarkable ability of the penis to turn itself from a limply dangling appendage into a stiff and upright member at the drop of a hat (or the sight of some sexy lingerie, more

How the penis works. Whether they refer to them as their “crown jewels”, or their “private part”, or whether they prefer not to talk about them at all, most men know precious little about their reproductive organs - the penis and its associated bits and bobs. The majority of us would probably feel more at home under the hood of a car than in front of a diagram of the anatomy of the male privates.

Penis. I often wonder about men and their penises. We joke about them, brag about them, feel embarrassed by them and name them after dead American Presidents. Women content - perhaps with some justification - that we use them more frequently than our brains when it comes to decision making. Psychologists have us believe that girls envy them, but feminists decry them as sexual and cultural weapons
