5 Easy Ways To Increase Your Manpower

A testosterone shortage could cost you your life. As if losing muscle mass, bone density, and your sex drive to low T levels wasn't bad enough, new research shows the decline can also increase your risk of prostate cancer, heart disease, and even death. Follow these steps to lift your levels and lengthen your life.

1. Uncover Your Abs

As your waist size goes up, your testosterone goes down. In fact, a 4-point increase in your body mass index, about 30 extra pounds on a 5'10" guy, can accelerate your age-related T decline by 10 years. For a diet that'll help keep your gut in check, try the all-new Men's Health e-book, The Six-Pack Secret. You'll learn how to sculpt rock-solid abs in 4 weeks. We believe it's the most effective muscle-up weight loss program ever.

2. Build Your Biceps

Finnish researchers recently found that men who lifted weights regularly experienced a 49 percent boost in their free testosterone levels. "As you strengthen your muscles, the amount of testosterone your body produces increases," says David Zava, Ph.D., CEO of ZRT Laboratory. You need to push iron only twice a week to see the benefit.

3. Fill Up On Fat

Trimming lard from your diet can help you stay lean, but eliminating all fat can cause your T levels to plummet. A study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine reveals that men who consumed the most fat also had the highest T levels. To protect your heart and preserve your T, eat foods high in monounsaturated fats, food such as fish and nuts.

A Fat MORE Dangerous than Trans Fat?

4. Push Away From The Bar

 Happy hour can wreak havoc on your manly hormones. In a recent Dutch study, men who drank moderate amounts of alcohol daily for 3 weeks experienced a 7 percent decrease in their testosterone levels. Limit your drinking to one or two glasses of beer or wine a night to avoid a drop in T.

5. Stop Stress

Mental or physical stress can quickly depress your T levels. Stress causes cortisol to surge, which "suppresses the body's ability to make testosterone and utilize it within tissues," says Zava. Cardio can be a great tension tamer, unless you overdo it. Injuries and fatigue are signs that your workout is more likely to lower T than raise it.

12 rules of being a better lover

1. THE GREATER YOUR FOCUS, THE HOTTER THE SEX

What's the best way to unlock a woman's wildest desires in bed? "Passion," said 42 per cent of the women we surveyed. "That means being in the moment and not being distracted," says US psychologist Dr Joel Block, the author of Secrets of Better Sex. "Sex is a conversation, and she doesn't want to feel like you wish you had your BlackBerry."

A woman takes attendance during sex in many ways, and the strongest signal you can send comes from your mouth. More than 90 per cent of women we surveyed said a man's primal panting turns them on. But use words over Tarzan grunts, if you can. "You want to reassure her: 'Do that more', 'That feels so good' or 'Oh, I love that'," says Dr Logan Levkoff, a US sexologist and the author of Third Base Ain't What It Used to Be. Beyond giving her a confidence boost, the extra sensory seduction intensifies the experience.

Nonverbal communication is important, too. Bursts of eye contact, lip nibbles and any other kind of physical or verbal communication shows her she's the one pushing your buttons, not some fantasy fembot in your head. If the soulful eye lock's not for you, bury your face in her neck, run the tip of your tongue from her collarbone to her earlobe and whisper why she's driving you crazy.

2. FOREPLAY CAN BE THE MAIN EVENT

"‘Foreplay' is a terrible word because it implies that it's leading to something more important," says sexuality counsellor Dr Beverly Whipple, a co-author of The G Spot and Other Discoveries About Human Sexuality. “You'll both have more fun if you think of it as sex play and make it about discovering and enjoying each other, not just reaching the finish line."

The women we surveyed agreed: two in five said their last orgasm occurred during foreplay itself, not intercourse. What's more, when asked to rank their partners' bedroom skills, the women's top two complaints were a lack of sexual creativity and sub-par manual sex skills, in that order. Ouch.

Your move? Tell her you want to go three sack sessions without penetration. Ditching the same old script – foreplay, sex, cuddling – will help your creative instincts spring to life. Bonus: sexual novelty recreates those early relationship, take-me-now hormones, says psychiatrist Dr Daniel Amen, the author of Sex on the Brain: 12 Lessons to Enhance Your Love Life.

3. PLEASURE DOESN'T ALWAYS EQUAL SATISFACTION

The good news is you can give a woman both. In a Kinsey Institute study in the US, women and men agreed that sex without condoms feels better – but women said using protection actually helps them feel more satisfied overall in the sack. Even those using hormonal birth-control methods felt the effect: when they used condoms, they reported a 17.5 per cent higher rate of overall satisfaction with their sex lives.

Why? This one's a no-brainer. When women worry less (say, about sexually transmitted infections), they enjoy themselves more.

Our pick for the condom that packs both pleasure and satisfaction: the Ansell Zero, which at just 0.05 millimetres thick is the thinnest on the Australian market.

4. "GENTLE" MEANS MORE THAN JUST "EASY, BUDDY"

“That word is a woman's code telling you to be more sensitive to her cues," says Block. The more nerve dense the hot spot is on a woman's body, the more careful your approach should be.

Clitoral contact in particular feels abrasive without a proper warm-up, says Lou Paget, a sex educator and the author of How to Be a Great Lover. If a woman yips or inhales suddenly when you go there – instead of purring or moaning – you've jumped the gun. Use indirect stimulation first, paying careful attention to her reactions as a guide.

The nerve-packed clitoris actually extends several inches under the skin on either side of her vagina (like a wishbone), which means you can massage it without direct pressure to the bud. Trace the extensions with flat, wide, extra-wet tongue strokes or slow finger zigzags (and don't forget to use a lubricant). Then rub a slow spiral around the top, drawing closer with each pass. The combo of anticipation and indirect contact will bring her pleasure centres to life. If she purrs, you've found her sweet spot. If she fidgets or gasps, take a step back.

5. CLIMATE IS CRUCIAL FOR CLIMAX

Egyptian cotton and dimmer switches can't hurt, but your love chamber's thermostat is just as important, according to Dutch sex researchers. “At the beginning of our trials, only 50 per cent of our female subjects were able to reach orgasm," says study author Dr Gert Holstege, chairman of the centre for uro-neurology at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. “But we learned they were uncomfortable because they had cold feet. We gave them socks and 80 per cent reached orgasm."

The socks aren't the secret, though. "The amygdala and prefrontal cortex – the brain areas responsible for anxiety, fear, and danger signals - strongly decrease their activation during orgasm." says Holstege. "A pleasant environment, which includes the room temperature, is an important part of making her feel safe, secure and comfortable."

"Imagine the ideal day at the beach," says Tristan Taormino, a director for adult movie company Vivid Entertainment in the US. "You want it just warm enough that she's happy to shed a layer or two, but not so hot that you'll end up drenched once you exert yourself."

6. POSITIONS ARE POINTLESS WITHOUT A PURPOSE

"There's no need to be overly fancy during sex – the very best positions are the ones that focus on the clitoris," says Levkoff. Want to amp up her pleasure without risking a hamstring cramp? Ditch the outrageous contortions for these modified standards. They're all designed to boost stimulation to her clitoris, which has even more nerve endings than the head of your penis.

A) MISSIONARY
Instead of in-and-out thrusting, "have her grind against you in circles", says sex expert Tracey Cox, the author of Secrets of a Supersexpert. "Keep as much of the base of your penis in contact with her outer lips as possible." Another option: place two or three pillows under her bum to lift it off the bed at an angle. You'll rub against her more when thrusting.

B) GIRL ON TOP
Make a V with two fingers and place it so the point of the V (just between the two knuckles) is directly over her clitoris. Your fingers should come down on either side of your penis as she rides you. "This will stimulate the clitoris, inner labia and urethra – as well as add intensity for you," says Cox.

C) DOGGY-STYLE
"Have her lift her bum up or spread out your legs to move down and touch the supersensitive vaginal wall," says Cox. Then reach around to play with her clitoris using your fingers. (Use a small vibrator for extra intensity.) For over-the-top stimulation of her most nerve-packed parts, "keep thrusting short and shallow, rather than deep and fast", advises Cox.

7. CLUB ORGASM ISN'T "MEMBERS ONLY"

Only one in five women we surveyed said their last orgasm came during penetration. "Most younger women want their partners to slow down and use their hands and mouths more," explains Australian sex researcher Dr Juliet Richters, who surveyed more than 19,000 people for her book Doing It Down Under.

In her survey, more than 90 per cent of women were able to reach orgasm when their partners used only oral and manual stimulation. Here's the rub: fifty-two per cent of the women we surveyed said they've made a guy stop because they were afraid of taking too long. So how can you be sure she's not letting you off easy? "Say, 'I love doing this, I could do this all day. Are you sure you want me to stop?'," says Whipple.

If you're the one worried about 20-plus minutes of exhausting oral sex, though, "don't go faster - it won't make her reach orgasm sooner", says Cox. "If anything, slow down. The gentler, slower and more consistent you are, the quicker she'll arrive."

Another option: enlist help. A small vibrator on her clitoris and your moist lips everywhere else should do the job.

8. A QUICKIE SHOULDN'T END WITH "THANKS!"

Only half of all women can reach orgasm when sex lasts 10 minutes or less, according to a 2009 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. "That means during a quickie, you'll probably finish and she won't," says Levkoff.

If she doesn't orgasm, make sure you'll have access to future rapid-fire sessions by saying, "Later tonight, it's going to be all about you." Then follow through on that promise. Leave her hanging too many times and she won't stick around for long.

9. THE G-SPOT HAS FRIENDS. GET TO KNOW THEM

You're goal-oriented. Good. But the G-spot and the clitoris aren't the only bull's-eyes. "The most recent anatomical research suggests that the clitoris is perhaps better described as the 'clitoral complex', where the vagina, urethra and clitoris all function as a unit rather than as individual parts," explains Kinsey Institute researcher Dr Debby Herbenick.

Try working that clitoral complex by hitting multiple hot spots at once. Some researchers believe there's something called an A-spot, located far inside the vagina on the side closest to her belly button. "Stroke this spot and she'll lubricate almost instantly," says Cox. "Put one lubed finger into her vagina as far as it will comfortably go. Use the whole length of your finger to explore the front wall of her vagina." Now triple the sensation: stick both index and middle finger inside her, and stick out your thumb like you're hitchhiking. It'll pull your fingers more snugly against her vaginal walls, stimulating A-spot and G-spot simultaneously. Then use your thumb to also stimulate her clitoris, and gently twist your hand.

10."READY" IS ALL RELATIVE

"Just because a woman is lubricated doesn't mean she's ready for sex," says Richters. Your woman's real prime time comes once she reaches a phase of arousal called "uterine tenting". It's just like it sounds: the uterus backs out of the way and the vagina grows in length by as much as three centimetres.

"You'll experience deeper penetration and the vagina will provide an intense grip to the head of your penis," says Dr Barbara Keesling, a lecturer on human sexuality at California State University at Fullerton and the author of Men in Bed. "The orgasms are incredible."

Keesling says the best position is the butterfly. "Have her lie on her back and pull her knees up to her shoulders, tilting her pelvis so her vagina points up almost to the ceiling," she advises.

Since tenting can take anywhere from 30 seconds to, well, forever, focus on synchronising the stimulation between your penis and her outer lips before entering her. Lie pressed against each other with your penis snug between her legs, allowing her to slide and rub against you while you use your hands and mouth elsewhere. The warm, slick and firm contact will bring her to a boil in no time.

11. WANT TO HAVE SEX? THEN DO THE DISHES

"If a woman is distracted by anything – work, lack of sleep, chores, a fight she had with a friend - it can interfere with her arousal," says Whipple. Seven in 10 women we surveyed said helping around the home was a turn-on, but Australian women spend an average of two hours and 52 minutes a day on domestic activities, compared with the one hour and 37 minutes of Australian men, according to a 2006 Australian Bureau of Statistics survey.

The women we surveyed said they'd be most grateful if you did the dishes, cooked dinner and did the laundry, in that order. Score bonus points: don't brag about it.

12. DON'T MAKE ORGASM YOUR ONLY GOAL

Desperation sinks her sex drive: a 2008 study by the University of Texas at Austin published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that stress about sexual performance significantly decreases female arousal. "Whatever you do, don't look up and ask, 'Are you close?' or 'Did you come?'," says Whipple. "It's distracting and it adds unnecessary pressure."

See if you're on the right track by asking questions such as: "Do you like that?" and "Should I keep doing that?" instead. And if you're waiting for her to reach orgasm during penetration, it's sometimes better to finish first rather than holding out for half an hour. "Women don't have orgasms every time, and they know it's not necessarily their partner's fault," says Whipple. So take turns, advises Levkoff. "You can always go back and use your hands and fingers to please her, if she's still turned on."

Underage girls 'Used as prostitutes in Sydney

Police fear more young girls may have been victims of a child prostitution ring in Sydney and are too frightened to come forward.

One of the girls who was enticed into having sex in cars and motels with male clients was 13, police will allege.

Officers of Strike Force Woodvale arrested a 22-year-old woman at Warwick Farm, in the city's southwest, at about 8.30am (AEDT) on Friday and charged her with armed robbery and child prostitution offences.

Liverpool crime manager Danny Doherty said the woman preyed on girls living on the street and in refuges for the homeless.

"These girls may be too scared to come forward or may be traumatised by the acts, but I urge them to contact police so they can get the necessary support they need," Detective Inspector Doherty said.

Police suspect the woman lured at least three girls into the prostitution ring that operated for about three months.

She allegedly contacted her clients by phone and arranged for them to meet the girls in cars and motels.

"It's a sad reflection on society when you've got a 22-year-old woman soliciting and making money out of kids as young as 13," Det Insp Doherty said.

Detectives are yet to determine how she advertised, but they believe she offered the sexual services of young girls.

"It's obviously very unusual for a young woman to be arranging other young women to engage in acts of prostitution," Det Insp Doherty said.

Police also allege the woman was involved in an armed robbery of a person in February.

She was charged on Friday with promoting child prostitution, obtaining benefit from child prostitution and armed robbery.

The woman was refused police bail and is to appear in Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.

Anyone who may have been a victim of the alleged prostitution ring or anyone who has information about the matter is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

10 Tips On How To Get Rich Fast

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could get rich tomorrow? What would you do with all that money? Well believe it or not it can be done. Now I didn’t say it would be easy I just said you could do it. Here are 10 tips on how to get rich fast.

1. Invest - Start young. In fact start while you are in elementary school, kindergarten is even better. It’s the beauty of compound interest and over time your money will grow into a nice nest egg. Okay if you are reading this you are probably too old to start in elementary school but you can get your kids hooked. As for you the best plan of defense is to invest 50% of your salary in a high risk market fund or the penny stock market. You’ve got a 50-50 chance. You’ll either make a million or be broke in 90 days.

2. Marry Rich - Now how difficult can this be? All you need to do is find someone who has loads of money and marry them. Okay I didn’t say you’d be happy just rich. Perhaps not a solution for most of us but it apparently works for a few.

3. Win The Lottery - Ya ya I know the odds of getting struck by lightening are better than the odds of winning the lottery but you can’t win if you don’t try and it’s one of the few ways I know of that you can get rich fast.

4. Rich Parents - If you come from a wealthy family then you are half way there. All you have to do is stay in their good books and convince mom and dad to not spend their money and leave it to you when they pass. After all why should your parents get to enjoy the wealth they reaped?

5. Get An Education - Go to school for lots of years, accumulate plenty of debt, and choose a career that pays big bucks. After about 10 years in your profession you should be rolling in the dough and you might even be filthy rich before you get old

6. Become A Star - Heck if Jennifer Aniston or Nicolas Cage can do it why can’t you. A couple of acting lessons and you should be set. All you need to do is head to Hollywood and strike it big. One good movie and you’ll be set for life.

7. Invest In Real Estate - Buy high sell low – whoops I think I got that backwards. Buy low, wait 10 years, 20 years, maybe even 30 years but inflation will have your investment growing by leaps and bounds and you could be filthy rich especially if you bought in an up and coming city while house prices were still low. Now if you bought in Hicksville USA you may have a problem. It might take more than your lifetime to see any dramatic increases. Oh well you can leave it to your kids who can leave it to their kids and in another 100 years or so someone’s going to be sitting pretty.

8. The Internet Way - Heck where have you been. A quick search on the Web will reveal plenty of sites that will teach you how to make $50,000 a day. Now I think most of us could live quite comfortably on that don’t you? All you need to do is part with about $500 and they’ll tell you the secrets of wealth in one page or less. If the first one doesn’t do it for you perhaps you might want to try a few more. Oh wait a minute. Perhaps what you need to do is set up one of these sights, then you’ll be the one getting rich off the other poor fools that part with their $500.

9. Bank Robbery - Okay highly illegal and could land you a lifetime in the slammer but desperate needs require desperate measures. After all if you get caught you might not be rich but you’ll have free room and board for the rest of your life and then you could write a book about what not to do when robbing a bank and well see you could get rich from your book. And even better, you’ll stay rich because there is really no place to spend it while in jail.

10. High Risk Work - Take on those high risk jobs no one else wants. You know counselor in Iraq, bean counter in Afghanistan, Oil tycoon in Iran. But hey if you live through it you’ll be rolling in the dough. What does it matter that 99% never live through it. You’ve got a 1% chance and when it comes to getting rich those are pretty good odds.

Sure most of these ideas are pretty off the wall but if getting rich fast was easy wouldn’t we all be rich? Then what fun would there be in that? We’d all have too much money and probably be bored to tears. So why not aim for better life with good friends, love, happiness, and enough money to live comfortably but not so much that you stop dreaming about what you would do if you were rich.

Men can inherit a form of heart disease from father via Y chromosome

                                            The Y chromosome determines that a baby will be a boy


Men can inherit heart disease from their father say scientists who have tracked the condition to the Y chromosome that dads pass to sons.

By studying the DNA of over 3,000 men they found a particular version of the sex chromosome increases the risk of coronary artery disease by 50%.

As many as one in five British men carry this version of Y.

And the risk it confers is in addition to other heart risk factors like cholesterol, The Lancet reports.

Experts already know that men develop heart disease a decade earlier than women, on average. By the age of 40, the lifetime risk of heart disease is one in two for men and one in three for women.

Lifestyle factors like smoking and blood pressure are important contributors. This latest work suggests the male Y chromosome can also play a role in coronary artery disease - a common form of heart disease that kills thousands each year in the UK.

Passed down

Dr Maciej Tomaszewski, from the University of Leicester, and colleagues studied 3,233 biologically unrelated British men who were already enrolled in other medical studies investigating heart disease risk.

When they carried out genetic tests on the men they found that 90% possessed one of two common versions of Y chromosome - named haplogroup I and haplogroup R1b1b2.

And the risk of coronary artery disease among the men carrying the haplogroup I version was 50% higher than in other men.

The scientists say they now need to pinpoint precisely which genes on the Y chromosome are responsible.

But they believe they already know how they exert their effect - by upsetting a man's immune system.

Dr Maciej Tomaszewski, a clinical senior lecturer at the University's Department of Cardiovascular Sciences, said: "We are very excited about these findings as they put the Y chromosome on the map of genetic susceptibility to coronary artery disease.

"Doctors usually associated the Y chromosome with maleness and fertility but this shows it is also implicated in heart disease."

He said, ultimately, the discovery could lead to new ways to treat and prevent heart disease in men, as well as a genetic test to spot those greatest risk.

In the meantime, he said men should focus on risk factors that they already have the power to modify themselves, such as getting enough exercise and eating a healthy diet to keep their blood pressure and cholesterol down.

Dr Hélène Wilson of the British Heart Foundation, which part-funded the work, said: "Coronary heart disease is the cause of heart attacks, which claim the lives of around 50,000 UK men every year.

"Lifestyle choices such as poor diet and smoking are major causes, but inherited factors carried in DNA are also part of the picture. The next step is to identify specifically which genes are responsible and how they might increase heart attack risk."

Seven Tips Guaranteed to Improve Your Dating Life!!!

                                    How to Improve Your Dating Life



1. Nurture a sincere curiosity about people.

Dating is an exercise in getting to know the other person, and for this reason it’s important that you’re able to communicate your interest. Sometimes two people are just right for each other, but they never get to realize it because both are holding back or too focused on themselves to show true interest in their mate. Do your best to shift your attention off yourself and onto your date. So do ask questions; be curious about the person sitting in front of you. Disclose a little about yourself, something that can pique and intrigue your date. Sometimes even if a date doesn’t lead to romance, the good conversation can be worth the evening’s entertainment. At least this way, if you two don’t work out you could gain a friend for life.



2. Make yourself more attractive.

Yes, you have to go there. While at first blush it seems shallow, the reality is you lessen your chances of getting a good date by going out of your house hair uncombed, dress dowdy and eyes revealing you haven’t been sleeping well. Most of the time it’s the physical that sparks interest in the opposite sex; make sure you’re taking pains to be attractive. Do yourself a favour—visit your nearest salon and buy yourself a nice dating outfit or two --- you’ll feel more confident when you know for certain you’re a sexy beast.



3. Expand your social network.

It’s a simple case of probability. The more people you know, the greater your chances of finding someone you can connect with.

So don’t be a shy wallflower. Get yourself out socializing! Sign up for conferences and workshops, join professional organizations, get yourself to the gym. Be open to dating sites if you have the courage. If you want to be strategic, you could even connect yourself to clubs where your type is likely to hang out. The internet is a feast for finding groups of people who love the same things, so do a search of local meet-ups or social events in your area of interest.



4. Date outside your type.

If you feel bored with your dating life, chances are you’re going out with the same type all the time. Monotony is the root of dissatisfaction, so dare yourself and ask someone that in the past you wouldn’t in your wildest dreams imagine dating. Our types often reveal where we’re comfortable and sometimes it takes some shaking up to get the excitement back. You’ll never know: when you open yourself to all the possibilities, you just might find the one.



5. Get mentoring on how to flirt well.

Unfortunately, not all of us were born with the flirting gene and it’s easy to get signals mixed when you’re a newbie at it. So find someone you know who’s successful at the craft or attend a workshop, and get yourself learning. Ask for feedback on how you come across and what message you send with your body language. Know the subtleties of touching and complimenting someone you like. Test --- yes, test! --- your skills on friends and co-workers you find attractive. The more you do it, the more confident you’ll be. And even if at first it all seems unnatural, after a few dates, you’ll find your style in no time.



6. Make sure that you’re ready for a relationship.

Very important question for you: if things work out between you and your date, are you ready to take things to the next level? Because if you’re afraid of commitment, then you might be unconsciously rejecting every suitable candidate for you just so you won’t be vulnerable. Or if you’re simply afraid of being alone, you might be approaching the whole process with some kind of desperation. Date because you’re ready to be in a relationship. If not, give it some time or get some help from a coach or therapist.



7. And lastly, have the certainty that you are a person worthy of being loved.

This is probably the best advice of all. All people have insecurities and doubt, but at your core you should know that you are deserving of the very best, and therefore will strive to look for the very best. Knowing your worthy means you don’t allow yourself to be abused, or you won’t simply take the first person that comes along.

Woman banned for being 'too old' for skimpy clothing

A woman in the UK has been banned from every nightclub in her home town after being told she is too old to wear skimpy clothing.

Lisa Woodman, a 28-year-old mother of four from Worcester in the West Midlands, was refused entry to three separate venues because of her short skirts, knee-high boots and low-cut tops, the Daily Mail reports.

All three clubs are owned by the same company and have stated the ban will stay in place until the medical secretary moderates her style of clothing.

Ms Woodman, a "petite" blonde with a size-six figure, said she was furious with her treatment.

"What's wrong with what I wear? I'm not hurting anyone, am I? I am covering everything, and I just want to have a good time," she was quoted as saying.

Ms Woodman freely admits to flaunting her figure but says her clothes are conservative compared to younger females who are allowed "straight in" to the clubs.

She says she was reduced to tears on New Year's Eve when she was turned away by a doorman and told she was "too old" for the clothes she was wearing.

"When I asked the bouncers why me and my sister weren't allowed in, they just said 'You're too old to wear that get-up'," she was quoted as saying.

Ms Woodman recently split from her long-term partner, the father of her four children.

Following the split Ms Woodman underwent a breast enhancement and started attending the gym regularly.

"I split up from my partner last year and I was really upset so I had a boob job in April and got into shape going to the gym and now I just want to flaunt what I've got," she told the Daily Mail.

Ms Woodman said at age 28, she does not consider herself "old".

She has also complained of humiliating treatment at the hands of club staff.
"One doorman even made me walk up and down and turn around in front of people laughing at what I was wearing. I was totally in shock and really humiliated. I look after myself and I'm only 28. I just want to be treated with a bit of respect," she said.
