Less interested in sex lately? Is this a midlife crisis brewing? Or are you feeling the normal hormone changes associated with aging? Hormone changes are a natural part of aging for men. But male menopause is not an accurate description. Unlike the more dramatic hormone plunge that occurs in women during menopause, hormone changes in men occur gradually, over a period of many years, the effects of which are often subtle and not noticed until much later in life. Some men are never affected by lower hormone levels at all — while some have physical and psychological symptoms that can include changes in sexual function, energy levels or mood.
While there are many differences between male and female menopause, one similarity rises above tying men and women into one undeniably human knot of anatomical fate: all women and most men suffer from hormone depletion past a certain age. It should be taken into consideration that hormone replacement therapy is not a natural process, thus if it did not exist what would happen? Would a certain age point inevitably mark a genderless phase of life? Women would have low or no estrogen levels and men, since the number suffering from male menopause is allegedly increasing, would eventually lose their testosterone. Would the elderly become an androgynous human species, with only the once-reproductive parts of a woman and man? Would this breed make society reflect on the trivial gender wars and gender discrimination that exists today and wonder what it was all for?
Men go through aging male syndrome (AMS) between the ages of 35 and 65 when their hormone levels (especially testosterone) decline. Testosterone is a hormone that helps maintain sex drive, sperm production, pubic and body hair, muscle, and bone. The decline of testosterone is normal in healthy males as they age. Unlike women who lose their fertility (ability to get pregnant) when they reach menopause, men do not lose their fertility. But the hormone change may cause other symptoms. All men have different experiences — some men’s hormone levels go down more than others, and some men have more symptoms than others.
Treatment of low testosterone due to aging with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is controversial. The benefits of TRT are not clear, and it may increase the risk of prostate cancer. While certain men who have symptoms related to abnormally low testosterone may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy, it isn’t appropriate treatment for most aging men. While it has been shown to help some men with low testosterone, TRT has risks, especially for men with certain health conditions such as prostate cancer and heart disease — and it may not improve your symptoms. More studies need to be done to determine the effectiveness and safety of TRT in aging men, and who can benefit most from this type of treatment. As it turned out with hormone replacement for women, TRT may have possible long-term risks that are not yet known.
Talk to your doctor about sexual problems. Erectile dysfunction and other sexual issues are common as men get older. Your doctor can help you find the best way to cope. Medical treatment, lifestyle changes or changes to the dose or types of medications you take may help

]]>First it was noses, then breasts and butts, and now vaggies.
Due perhaps to the rise of porn and nude industries and sites, many women from all walks of life feel that they have to have a “vagina lift” to improve their appearance in the bed chamber.
But what are we actually talking about ?
Well the following are the most common procedures.
Labiaplasty: Many women believe their vulva is unsightly or ugly, and have surgery to neaten everything up by removing any excess flesh
Vaginal Liposuction: In this procedure, instead of removing fat, fat is taken from another part of the body and injected into the outer vagina to give it a softer and plumper look.
Vulvar Lipoplasty: In this procedure fat is removed from the outer labia for a more contoured look.
Clitoral Hood Reduction: any “excess” skin around the clitoris is removed.
Vaginoplasty: This procedure is to alter the vagina, and make it firmer and tighter. This is done by removing a section of the vaginal wall and re-attaching.
G-spot enhancement: For a more sensitive G-spot, some women are having a collagen injection to the front wall of the vagina. This generally has to be redone after a few months.
Should you be considering any of these, well thats up to you. But first find out what your partner thinks. You may find that they are perfectly happy with you just the way you are.

Michael Travesser has been a self proclaimed Messiah for over 20 years.
He has brain washed his New Mexico followers into believing that the world will end on 31st October 2007 or is that 08 (oh no - the apocolypse came and no one told me).
But crazy Mike has it all going with the ladies.
Here’s a quote
“One day by myself I was in my trailer just relaxing and there was nothing on my mind in particular and then God said to me you are the Messiah,”
He then goes on to describe how two women came forward to bear witness, and that God ordered him to have sex with them to consummate their relationship, even though both are married to other men in the Strong City cult.
Michael Travesser then convinced the husbands that this was all OK, as it was Gods will.
But it gets better. Michael then convinced his followers that with the exception of him, there was to be no sexual relations going on.
This dude Rocks!

Rasheed Thurmond dead at 36
Brooklyn’s own Rasheed Thurmond sadly passed away due to a heart attack this week.
Who is Rasheed Thurmond? You may have seen him on Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy, Def Comedy Jam, or maybe you’re local and caught his act live at The Apollo.
One thing is for sure, every time Rasheed performed he had the people doing all that LOL and LMDFAO stuff.
It’s crazy to think that someone so young (36) and happy would have heart problems.
He will be missed !
Check out Rasheed in action : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G85Et_uekYA

]]>Crystle Stewart is the new Miss USA.
The 26-year-old Miss Texas conquered 50 other aspiring beauty queens in the pageant televised live from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
Almost immediately on the broadcast, the contestants were narrowed down from 50 to 15. The finalists included Miss Missouri - and sister of Chace Crawford - Candice Crawford. But even her sibling’s star power was not enough to deny Stewart from her destiny.
At the end of the night, Crystle overcame runner-up Leah Laviano and second runner-up Tiffany Andrade to succeed Rachel Smith as Miss USA.

]]>kelly cutrone Kelly Cutrone Does Damage Control With Creative Use of ‘Cunt′An item yesterday gave an account of how fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone of People’s Revolution, unhappy with a Sydney Morning Herald gossip item about two of her clients, banned SMH journalist and blogger Patty Huntington from all of her clients’ shows.
Cutrone posted fliers instructing staff to keep Huntington out of the Jeremy Scott show; she then called Huntington and told the writer that she would make it her mission to interfere with “the rest of [Huntington’s] journalistic career,” and, for extra measure, Cutrone would sue, as her father is a high-powered lawyer. Masterful PR work, that.
Huntington wrote about the incident, we linked, and today Cutrone writes Gawker:
HUNTING SEASON WITH PATTI CUNTINGTON
It is a really sad day when designers from the land down under are trying to emerge on the international fashion arena and are so poorly represented by members of their own media.
People’s Revolution is filing a law suit against Ms. Huntington for her disparaging and false remarks.
People’s Revolution will continue to support Australian members of the media like Sharon Krum of the Australian and fantastic world-renowned brands like Tsubi.
Sincerely,
Kelly Cutrone
So when Cutrone’s dad files those legal papers, will the defendant be named as “Cuntington?” Because name-calling always leads to a quick settlement.
UPDATE: Cutrone sends word that her father isn’t anywhere near to being a lawyer, contrary to what Huntington wrote. Hence the lawsuit. But still, “Cuntington?” Brilliant.

]]>It’s a story that is making waves around the world - a man from Oregon who claims to be pregnant. But is this the real deal or just an elaborate hoax?
It all started with an article on Advocate.com where a picture showing a seemingly pregnant man appeared and the man himself, Thomas Beatie, wrote that he is five months pregnant.
Beatie said in the article that he used to be a woman but kept his female reproductive organs following a sex change. He said he and his legally married wife are expecting a baby girl in July.
KATU News took a trip to Bend to see if we could find out whether the story is true or not.
Beatie and his wife, who live in an upscale neighborhood and own a business, were nowhere to be found. Neighbors said they have not seen them for days and one person said a TV crew, possibly from a tabloid, had been following their every move.
Despite all the media attention, those who know the couple are skeptical.
“Quite frankly, I think it’s a hoax,” said neighbor Ron Schlieper. “I saw him a few days ago and he didn’t look like that,” he said in reference to the picture from the Advocate.com Web site. “He was walking down the street with who I thought was his wife, Nancy, and I don’t recall seeing a belly. If that (picture was taken) a month ago, he would have been much bigger just a few days ago.”
Schlieper said Beatie’s wife told him that she was pregnant. Another neighbor said the couple left their house every week for fertility treatments in Portland.
The whole thing has caught people in neighboring businesses off guard.
“I couldn’t say that he looks pregnant,” said Bend resident Josh Love. “I can stick my stomach out and almost make it look like that.”
According to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, before Thomas Beatie was Thomas Beatie, he was a woman named Tracy Langondino. They sent us a picture from a story they did about his gay rights work when he lived there several years ago.
We hope to learn a lot more about this story in about two weeks. KATU has been in contact with the couple by phone and they said they would be able to talk more after their confidentiality agreement runs out with whoever it is they are giving their story to, which is likely a tabloid (tabloids pay for stories, unlike KATU News).
