There is a cord-like structure, known as the spermatic cord, which contains the testicular artery that carries blood to the testes.

This is a serious and extremely painful condition, which needs immediate medical attention. According to studies conducted by the American Urological Association, it […]

Researchers have noted that the so-called appearance anxiety affects countless men and women in the bedroom.

Too tired for sex? There is growing evidence that a lack of decent sleep affects the sexuality of both men and women. Women married to high-profile, workaholic men, often take strain in the bedroom because husbands are either too tired, or unable to perform, due to poor sleep habits. Studies have also revealed that being tired is the most common reason women give to avoid having sex. In the past, the white lie of a headache or migraine, was the main reason. Feeling tired, though, may be the truth, especially in the case of women who have sleep problems. There […]
