According to Indian-origin researcher Vinod Nargund of St Bartholomew’s and Homerton Hospitals here, the problems to look out for include genital numbness, erection problems, skin irritations and soreness in the groin area. He has pointed out that more than 60% of male cyclists who have taken part in research studies have reported genital numbness. “Numbness is common because the pressure of the saddle can impair the blood supply to this area and put pressure on the nerves in the penis. This can also affect a man’s ability to get an erection. “There is a greater incidence of numbness and erectile problems in men who cycle regularly and over longer training distances. That is why it is important to rest intermittently during prolonged and vigorous cycling,” Nargund said. Men who cycle a lot can also experience changes to their sperm function, because of the excessive heat generated in the pelvic area. Regular cyclists run a higher risk of testicular damage and impaired testicular function also. Mountain bikers run a particular risk as studies have shown that they exhibit higher levels of scrotal abnormalities than on-road cyclists.
Watermelon Yields Viagra like effects
Slice of Watermelon is must needed in Valentine's Day, But dont expect much from it
That's because scientists say watermelon has ingredients that deliver Viagra-like effects to the body's blood vessels and may even increase libido.
The more we study watermelons, the more we realize just how amazing a fruit it is in providing natural enhancers to the human body,” said Dr. Bhimu Patil, director of Texas A&M’s Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center in College Station.
Beneficial ingredients in watermelon and other fruits and vegetables are known as phyto-nutrients, naturally occurring compounds that are bioactive, or able to react with the human body to trigger healthy reactions, Patil said.
Sex Action Thrice a Week Halves ED risk in Men
Washington, (ANI): A new study has revealed that frequent intercourse can cut erectile dysfunction (ED) risk in men.
Researchers from Finland have revealed that men who had intercourse more often were less likely to develop ED.
Over the period of five years, the team studied 989 men between 55 to 75 years from Pirkanmaa, Finland.
They found that men who had intercourse less than once per week were twice as likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Further, the risk of erectile dysfunction was inversely related to the frequency of intercourse.
Out of 1000 cases, 79 cases had men, who had sexual intercourse less than once per week, which dropped to 32 cases per 1000 in men having intercourse once per week
The number further dropped to 16 per 1000 in those reporting intercourse 3 or more times per week.
In addition, the frequency of morning erections predicted the development of complete erectile dysfunction, with an approximate 2.5-fold risk among those with less than 1 morning erection per week compared with 2 to 3 morning erections per week.
"Regular intercourse has an important role in preserving erectile function among elderly men, whereas morning erection does not exert a similar effect," said Dr Juha Koskimeki, PhD, Tampere University Hospital, Department of Urology, Tampere, Finland.
"Continued sexual activity decreases the incidence of erectile dysfunction in direct proportion to coital frequency," Koskimeki added.
The study indicates that regular intercourse protects men from the development of erectile dysfunction, which may, in turn, impact general health and quality of life.
The study is published in the July 2008 issue of The American Journal of Medicine. (ANI)

Adequate length for Sex
A new survey aims to set the record straight about how long heterosexual intercourse should last.
The verdict: 3 to 13 minutes, with 3-7 minutes deemed "acceptable" and 7 to 13 minutes dubbed "desirable."
Thirty-four sex therapists in the U.S. and Canada completed the survey. They had 26 years of clinical experience, on average; 45% of them were men.
One skipped the timing question, 25 mentioned specific amounts of time, and eight said time for intercourse depends on the couple.
The survey may correct the public's "unrealistic" expectations for sexual performance to last longer, note Corty and colleagues in May's edition of The Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Young men who like popping Blue pill for recreation - Antiimpotency drug can damage your fertility.
The research in London came to the conclusion after carrying out two sets of experiments. The first involved taking sperm samples from volunteers and then bathing them in weak solutions of Viagra. The aim was to produce a Viagra level equivalent to that found in the blood of a man who had taken a 100-mg pill. The researchers then compared the behaviour of the treated sperm with standard samples and found the drug had two principal effects. It made sperm more active but also it damaged its acrosome, a cap-like structure that contains enzymes that break down the membrane surrounding a woman’s egg and allows sperm to fertilise it.

In a recent findings it shatters the myth that once you hit 50 your sex life is over,” said Emma Soames, editor of Saga Magazine which has tapped a rich new market in sprightly, affluent pensioners ready to live their retirement years to the full.
Sex is also less pressure after 50, according to 85% of those sounded out in the survey. Seven out of 10 found sex more fulfiling than when they did in their youth. A minority of just 16% admitted using performance-enhancing drugs like Viagra for added zing.
But the Populus survey of almost 8,000 over-50’s did come with a health warning. Recent research has shown increasing cases of sexually transmitted diseases in older age groups.

Same-sex pairs ‘equally committed’
Washington: When it comes to being committed in a romantic relationship, same-sex couples are as faithful as heterosexual couples, say researchers.
The study, led by Glenn I Roisman, PhD at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, disputes the stereotype that couples in same-sex relationships are not as committed as their heterosexual counterparts and are therefore not as psychologically healthy. In the study, the researchers examined whether committed same-sex couples differ from engaged and married opposite-sex couples in how well they interacted and how satisfied they were with their partners.
The research team compared 30 committed gay male and 30 committed lesbian couples with 50 engaged heterosexual couples and 40 older married heterosexual couples, as well as with dating heterosexual couples. All the partners responded to a questionnaire that documented how positively they interacted with one another on a day-to-day basi
