Impotence Help
A lot of good information and help for impotence is available to people who need it.
The popularity of recent treatment has also helped remove some of the stigma associated with discussing impotence as more people realize it is often treatable at all ages.
Keeping in mind that there is usually an underlying physical condition that explains impotence, one's doctor may be the best person to seek advice from.
A doctor can determine whether an underlying physical condition, lifestyle factors, a prescription drug side effect, a psychological factor, or some combination of these is responsible for the impotence.
He or she does this by taking a detailed personal and medical history, performing a physical examination, making a psychological evaluation, and running laboratory tests if necessary.
This information is then used to plan the best treatment.
Urologists, or doctors who specialize in diseases of the urinary tract, are usually the ones who provide such treatment.
A gynecologist, often in consultation with an urologist, may treat female sexual dysfunction.
Counseling can be tremendously helpful, particularly for psychological impotence.
Counseling may help couples improve communication skills and communicate their sexual needs better, or provide practical tips for making sex physically fulfilling to both partners.
If someone has suffered from abuse or post-traumatic stress disorder, counseling can help inculcate coping skills.
People whose impotence is linked to depression, anxiety or stress can also benefit from counseling by a skilled professional and guidance on treatment that may offer relief for both the underlying psychological condition and for impotence.
There are several free and reliable sources on the Internet such as the American Urological Association website, that provide detailed information on the causes and treatment of impotence.
These sources may be useful for both the person suffering from impotence and their sexual partner.

Exercise and the Time Clock
I have to admit that I sometimes find it amusing when someone knows I am a trainer and proceeds to elaborate on the hours that they spend in the gym.
One example was a few years back when I was introduced to a nice young women, who proceeded to tell me that she went to the gym twice a day, an hour each time.
Unless this second hour was spent in the jacuzzi or making up for lost time due to chatting with fellow gym-goers during the earlier timeslot, I would be leary.
Instead of being impressed by her exuberant enthusiasm for working out, my thoughts were that one of those hours might be better spent in a counseling office.
Excessive exercising is unsafe and a sign of other deep-rooted problems.
So, the question remains how many ticks on the clock should pass before you head for the locker room?
And what compels a person to go way overboard in their exercise routine?First off, if you are one of our valued clients, you already know that...

What Exactly is Testosterone?
Testosterone is a member of the steroid family of hormones called androgens. More and more, this family is derived through chemical conversion from the steroid ring-structure of cholesterol. This hormone plays a vital role in the bodies of both men and women.There are only minor differences between this hormone and others such as estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, cortisone, and androstenedione. They are small molecules, which becomes important when we look at what routes of administration are available.As commonly known, testosterone stimulates the development of the penis and testes, growth of facial and pubic hair, deepening of the voice, changes in body shape, growth of bones, and increased muscle mass and strength in males. It helps maintain sex drive and the production of sperm cells, and it may play a role in balding.
Mood is also affected by testosterone, and low levels of the hormone can cause severe and prolonged depression as well as fatigue, to name a few conditions. High...

Direct Answers - Column for the week of April 26, 2004My girlfriend and I are basically the same age, just a six month difference.
When I went to buy the engagement ring in February, I felt certain she was the right one.
She accepted my proposal by saying, "If we go slow?"
We've been doing that.
We had the ring resized to fit her finger, and the wedding wasn't to be until Easter 2006.
This morning she broke it off.
We were happy and taking it slow, but for some reason it felt fast to her.
Right from the start, her relatives pressured her to break up.
She asked me questions, I answered honestly, and my answers were acceptable.I want to get married and have my own happy family in the next five years.
Preferably in the next two.
This afternoon I even cried.
What can or should I do?
I know suicide's not the answer, but maybe it would make a difference to her and them.
No, I...
