Fixing My Baldness

I never considered that I would suffer from hair loss, even though my father had a receding hairline. Shortly before my thirtieth birthday, I noticed that my hairline was receding. I was terrified and in denial that I was losing my hair. I even started losing hair on the rear of my head.

It was the first time in my life I felt that age has finally caught up. I felt like the best years of my life were behind me. I even ceased seeing girls. My love life was non-existent. There was one girl I had been seeing nonchalantly and even though I liked her, I just stopped returning her phone calls. I realized that I hadn’t found the woman of my dreams with a full head of hair so there was no way I was going to find someone with my growing bald spot. I was too discouraged to even try having a loving kinship.

Hair loss transformed me in to a dismayed loner, I was always a confident and extroverted guy. I was persistent to get the problem addressed and started searching for a resolution. I started trying various hair loss treatments that are available over the counter. I have tried every single treatment and solution obtainable from the pharmacy, nothing worked. After that, I just stopped trying for a while. It was a real low point in my life. I even stopped going out with my friends, I was so gloomy.

Luckily, one night a good friend of mine took me out for a few beverages. He had noticed that I appeared a little down and thought he knew why. He told me about the hair loss studio in the city. My friend had gone there for hair loss treatments and had been impressed with the results. I was even more impressed. I wouldn’t have thought that he had endured from hair loss, he had a full head of hair. He made me promise to give them a try and I agreed.

I could not have been happier with the hair loss studio recommended to me. Only after a few treatments, I had a full head of hair again. The hair loss studio not only helped me regained my hair but also my self-confidence.

Male circumcision cuts AIDS risk?

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin (prepuce) of the penis. Most of the time circumcision in infant boys is usually performed for cultural or religious reasons, but people believe that this operation provides some medical advantages.

Regarding medical advantages of circumcision, doctors opinion are divided, many of them showed that the medical advantages are considered to be slight, because conditions such as phimosis and cancer of the penis are rare even in men who have not been circumcised. One after another, they said, the minor benefits of circumcision seem to be contrabalanced by the minor risks, so this operation is neither essential nor detrimental to a boy’s health

Recently, a study issued in The Wall Street Journal, concludes that male circumcision reduces the risk that men will contract HIV through intercourse with infected women by about 70 percent.

A study of more than 3,000 circumcised men in South Africa was done by the French agency for Aids and Viral Hepatitis. The data, outlined at a conference in Brazil, suggests circumcision could be effective in preventing the spread of HIV among men and shows male circumcision prevented about seven of 10 infections.

UN health agencies have cautioned that more trials are necessary before they will recommend this as a method to protect against AIDS. To have a full conclusion, further trials are being carried out in Uganda and Kenya to measure the effect of circumcision on other populations.

Embrace The Corset

Filed under: University of Gender Studies — admin at 1:45 am on Saturday, April 5, 2008

Corsets have been around for a very long time - centuries, in
fact, or perhaps even longer. The very first indication of
corset usage was discovered at a Neolithic archaeological site
in England. The find was a picture of women wearing a corset
type piece of clothing made from animal hides. So they’ve
definitely been around for quite a while!

Corsets popped up again in the history books at around 1700 BC.
The Minoans were quite fond of the style, and it was used on
both men and women to tighten the waist. Their corset design
left the breasts exposed. The use of corsets continued on
throughout history, from Ancient Egypt to Greece.

Throughout the centuries improvements to the corset were made.
In the 13th century, corsets were worked directly into gowns, as
the era favored a smaller look. In the 14th century, a number of
new fabrics began to grow in popularity (more details at
http://www.SpicyRelationships.com/lingerie/ ). These fabrics
were more free flowing than that which was used before, and
corsets were used to provide a tight shape back to the top.

In the 16th century, they even used steel in the corsets. Many
noble women were ordered to have a waist size that was not
bigger than 13 inches - it was rather extreme, but the demands
of fashion often are. This was also a time when the corset began
to separate from the gown as well. The look for skirts leaned
towards a full, heavy fall, while the top needed to be tight and
form fitting. Because of how elaborate the corsets and
undergarments became during this time, gowns were often designed
to strategically flash the corsets or otherwise reveal them.

The 18th century as a huge time for corset improvement. The main
cause of this? A doctor inventing the metal eyelet. This meant
that corsets could end up even tighter (much to the chagrin of
the ladies, I’m sure). While they remained popular in the 19th
century, it wasn’t until the 20th century that Madonna
popularized corsets once again.

And today? Today corsets are used for lingerie, outerwear,
fetish wear, and just about anything you can imagine! They are
definitely a staple in fashion, and just keep getting better and
better. The best thing about it? With modern corsets, you can
actually breath!
