No. I wish I had the guts to end the post there. Because frankly that says it all. But alas, I feel compelled to spout more wisdom. No study has suggested that being better looking in any way gets you more sex…or makes you want it more. And from my anecdotal experience with patients I …
Continue ReadingI feel shy…
Often patients talk about feeling shy about trying new things sexually. It’s really more common than you think. Even with (maybe especially with) long term partners. (“What? We’ve been together 20 years, NOW I’m gonna tell him I want him to wear a fireman uniform?”) So here are some thoughts on “shyness.” Most people have …
Continue ReadingCheck out “Cosmopolitan Magazine.”
Check out July’s issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. One of our contributors, Michael A. Werner, MD, is quoted on page 192, in the his & hers column. The question asks when a guy’s fertility starts to dip. Since Dr. Werner is a specialist in male infertility (as well as male sexual dysfunction), he was the perfect …
Continue ReadingAnimals in the bedroom.
Okay, I know. There are so many way this post could go. However, what I want to address is why it is not great for your sex life to have your animals parked in your bedroom (or worse, your bed). I can’t tell you how many couple’s we’ve seen here who are just now realizing …
Continue ReadingSex every night for a year.
The New York Times wrote a review of two new books, both of which chronicled couples as they embarked on a journey of having sex every night. One is called “365 Nights” and one is called “Just Do It.” Interesting to me (and I haven’t yet read the books) that in both cases the it …

One of our contributors, Michael A. Werner, MD, FACS, sent me this link to an article discussing Web sites that help consumers shop for prescription drugs. The article appeared in Kiplinger Magazine a few years ago. Like many patients, Dr. Werner recognizes that costs for pharmaceuticals have shot through the roof and all patients (even …
Continue ReadingThere is always SOMETHING to be horrified at!
It never ceases to amaze me that even in European communities which seem to be more open to discussing sex, there is always something new to be shocked out. This week, it’s German best-seller “Wetlands,” by a television personality and author, Charlotte Roche. The author seems to get down and dirty in her descriptions of …
Continue ReadingIs longer always better?
No. No. No. I’m not doing another harangue on penis length, I promise. This has to do with time. There seems to be a prevalent myth out there that women always want men who can last longer. HMMMMM…let’s see. The average time that a penis usually spends in a vagina before ejaculating is 3-5 minutes. …
Continue ReadingHaving and orgasm during intercourse.
I am very sure I have mentioned this statistic in previous blogs… only 30% of women orgasm from a penis in their vagina alone. Only 30%. O.K. So if you’re not one of the 30% there is really nothing wrong with you!! However, often women say they WANT to have an orgasm while their partner …
