The Best Things in Life

Released in 1992, ‘The Best Things in Life Are Free’ is a song by Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross. The song went to number one on the R&B singles chart and debuted at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 the week of May 30, 1992.

Think Yourself into Health

The Buddha is purported to have said “What we think, we become.” If your thoughts could change your life for the better, wouldn’t you do it? Of course! But, what thoughts do you change? All of us have an inner voice that speaks to us and us alone. Self-talk is that inner running dialogue you have with yourself.

Sexual Stereotypes

Gentlemen prefer blondes? All blondes are dumb? All redheads are passionate? A man is always sex-, porn- and/ or looks-obsessed? Therefore, he is expected to sow his wild oats?

Oh yes, she also can’t park and men can’t pack?

What's Wrong with Sex?

Recently, I attended a men’s health forum on erectile difficulties. There were three male speakers scheduled, all of whom were medical doctors. Being a sexologist, I was always keen to learn more in the area of sexual dysfunction. I had pre-registered for the event and was queuing to sign in. I caught a glimpse inside the seminar room, as the entrance was ajar. It was evident that more than half the seats were already occupied with men. All was in order: Men’s forum, lots of men.
