This Issue's Sex Joke

Funny Condoms

A man walks into a drugstore and asks the pharmacist for a pack of condoms. Paying for them, he bursts into laughter and walks out of the store.

The next day he comes in again, again buys condoms, and again walks out laughing. Thinking this is somewhat strange, the pharmacist asks his assistant to follow the man if he comes back.

Sure enough, the man comes in the next day and walks out laughing. This time the assistant goes after him, returning 20 minutes later.

"So did you follow him?" asks the pharmacist.

"Yup."

"Where did he go?"

"Your house."

 

 

Anal Sex
         Anal Love For Men & Women
         With A Look At The
Best Anal Sex Toys

Anal sexual activity can be pleasurable, fun and very stimulating solo or for partners. Some of the biggest concerns seem to be about pleasure, pain, hygiene, and STDs. These are all important when examining anal sexual stimulation from penetration, to outer stimulation (also known as rimming).

Below are some helpful tips that should provide you with the information you need as well as products to aid you in achieving your anal play goals with anal sex toy recommendations as well as anal sex videos as well.

 

Anal Sex Hygiene

Having unprotected anal sex is a good way to contract the HIV/AIDS virus. Before any type of anal sex activity, it is important that you protect yourself and your partner. Make sure to discuss with your partner(s) the best way to ensure your health.

Bowel Movements

It's a good idea to have a bowel movement at least an hour before anal sex (if possible). This decreases bacterial contamination as well as messes that may not be desirable.

Cleaning Your Anus

Try to clean your anus thoroughly with hot, soapy water before any anal activities. A great alternative are baby wipes, in fact, a strippers technique, many people use them instead of toilet paper for clean up after any bowel movement.

 

Ingredients:
Monobasic Sodium Phosphate 19g,
Dibasic Sodium Phosphate 7g,
Sodium Content 4.4g

Anal Enemas

An anal enema is a surge of distilled, clean water into the anus which cleanses the area. Please Note- enemas do NOT eliminate ALL bacteria and germs from the anus ). They are easy to do, very inexpensive ($1.30 U.S.), and found at your local grocery store.

There are of course some people who find anal enemas sexually stimulating in addition to the mere cleansing aspect.

It is a good idea to allow at least an hour before anal sex for the anal enema to have full effect. You may want to note that it is not healthy to perform frequent anal enemas as this can put stress on the anus.

Bacteria

The entire anal region has a variety of bacteria inside and just outside it. You will want to be careful to avoid getting that bacteria into other orifices of your body to prevent infection. When you choose to give someone a "Rim Job" or lick their anus you may risk getting sick from bacteria present. You may want to use a finger or toy with lubricant for a similar effect without the risk.

 

Oral Anal Sex

Also known as "Analingus," it is the act of licking or inserting the tongue into the anus to provide pleasure. Both men and women enjoy analingus and you can use some of the same techniques on each. Positioning where the receiver's butt cheeks are naturally spread such as kneeling on all fours (doggie style) with their legs spread apart, or on their back with their legs up in the air (again, legs spread apart) makes the anus easier to access.

It's not a good idea to perform oral sex or kiss after analingus, as bacteria from the anus can wreak havoc on other parts of the body. Make sure to clean your mouth thoroughly afterward by brushing your teeth and tongue and using Listerine.

 

When It Hurts- Don't

Anal sex should done in a manner that allows both partners to enjoy it. Start slowly, use a lot of lubricant and do not use desensitizers like Anal Eze so that you do not feel pain. It is important to listen to your body and using them is not only ignoring the warning signals that your body is sending, but there are health risks with the main ingredient in the desensitizers- benzocaine.

Desensitizers can contain numbing drugs that can include lidocaine, tetracaine, benzocaine and prilocaine. The FDA said consumers should be cautious about using them without medical supervision. Leaving the creams on the skin for long periods of time or on large portions of their bodies can increase the risk, officials have said. Small children and people with heart or severe liver disease are also at higher risk.

 

Important Information On Benzocaine
Found In Most Sexual Desensitizers


Overuse of skin-numbing creams can cause irregular heartbeats and even death.

Creams and lotions often used in conjunction with cosmetic procedures.

Used in large amounts can cause a lethal dose of chemicals to enter bloodstream.

Numbing creams and lotions, available both by prescription and over the counter, are approved to soothe burning or itching skin as well as pain and to decrease sensation.

 

 

Using Condoms For Anal Sex

Due to the risk of STD's, including HIV/AIDS, condoms have become an essential part of careful anal sex. It is also good for monogamous couples because the bacteria from the anus can get inside the urethra of the man's penis (pee hole) and cause a ( UTI ) Urinary Tract Infection.

When using condoms make sure to use water based lubricants with latex condoms - an oil based lube will destroy the condom.

When First Using An Anal Sex Toy

For first time users of anal sex toys, it is important to remember that using any kind of flexible jelly type toys may be hard to insert as you may be tensing and inadvertently keeping your sphincter muscle tight and closed, not allowing the toy to enter.

You may also want to avoid using a toy that is overly hard as you need to get used to what this feels like and because of inexperience you may cause damage.

Therefore using something like a Silicone Dildo is a good toy to start with as it is soft, yet firm enough for entry. It also has a great handle for easy maneuvering.

 

Preparation For Anal Sex

To prepare for anal sex, the first thing the receiver needs to do is relax. Pain will most certainly occur is the receiver is tense and clenching their sphincter muscles.

A hot bath or massage are great beforehand and as things progress you will want to play with the anal rim first and then slowly penetrate with ample lubricant.

To prevent psychological inhibitors, make sure to discuss limits, expectations and techniques of your anal experience before you begin so that the receiver is confident that they are not going to be painfully surprised by something.

 

Preventing Anal Trauma

The anal canal is a very sensitive area, especially the deeper you go. Sharp objects, friction and certain materials may cause cuts, pain and or allergic reaction to the entire region. Be very careful about staying within your limits and test for allergies such as to latex, etc.

 

Fingering the Anus

Before fingering the anus, make sure your fingernails are trimmed and you have the proper lubrication.

Rimming

Probably the easiest anal sex technique and a great way to introduce someone to anal sex. Start on the outside and slowly work your way in.


Use one finger to gently circle the outer rim of the anus. Lubrication heightens pleasure and makes entry later easier.

Ringing the Bell

Take one finger and push on the anus without penetrating it, as though you were ringing a doorbell. Hold each push down for a second or two before releasing. You can vary the speed and pressure to make more interesting.

Thrusting

This is when lubrication is essential. Start slowly inserting a little bit at a time into the anus while moving in and out. Once far enough in you can build speed and pressure.

Multiple Fingers

Once a beginner is comfortable, you can begin to add more intensity if you desire. Adding fingers as well as pushing against the walls while inside will add intensity. Some people even go as far as anal fisting. This is only for those that are well educated in fisting and take precautions as it is a highly risky activity for infection, permanent damage and trauma.

 

Anal Love For Men

While performing oral sex on a man it is often found to be highly erotic to stimulate the perineum (the area between the base of the balls and the anus).

Work your way down to the anus and begin circling the outer rim of the anus. If all goes well, slowly insert your finger up to your first knuckle. Keep a close eye on your partner to make sure he's enjoying it. Proceed slowly.

Depending on the man, you may only be able to get one knuckle deep before he's uncomfortable, or you may find that he enjoys an entire finger (or two - or three).

During orgasm in a man, the perineum and the anus become highly charged orgasmic centers of pleasure.

Each man is different, but if you locate his (sweet spot- prostate) you can give him intense orgasms.

Another technique is to use anal beads and pull them out at the moment of climax.

 

Prostate Massage

Traditionally, doctors would massage their patients' prostates regularly to cure or prevent disease. Now, however, most doctors only check the prostate, and if they find a problem prefer to cut it out or prescribe medication.

 




Prostate Massage DVDs

You can do it yourself or have your partner do it for you. Try this practice and discover its health benefits. When you do it yourself, you can be very gentle and make the treatment pleasurable as well as efficacious.

The prostate is analogous to the G spot in women which is shown to the right. The prostate can be massaged by inserting a finger (toy, dildo etc.) a minimum of three inches into your anus and stroking toward the front of your body through the walls of your rectum.

The technique of prostate massage actually involves two (three) organs of the male reproductive system: the prostate gland, the seminal vesicles, and the ampulla, which is the reservoir which actually holds the male sperm just prior to ejaculation.

The prostate gland when engorged can be felt by pressing a finger into the middle of the perineum (in back of the scrotum). It is a rounded lump about the size of a large marble. It can also be accessed via the rectum, where it can again be felt as a rounded lump toward the front of the body and just about an index finger's length inside the rectum.

A better way to find it from the rectum is to insert the middle finger, and slide it from just inside the rectum (on the front side) up and in until you feel it move over a lump. That will be the prostate.

During sexual arousal, sperm and ejaculatory fluid accumulate in these glands backing up behind valves in the ejaculatory ducts. When fluid pressure reaches a high enough threshold, the valves open and the urethral bulb fills, triggering the ejaculatory reflex and muscular contractions of orgasm, which empties the glands.

You can massage your prostate by simply inserting your finger or toy into the anus and reaching back and up towards the navel until you feel the prostate gland. Use natural-content personal lubricant of the type specific to this purpose to facilitate insertion of the finger, and gently rub back and forth on the prostate using as much pressure as you can without causing pain.

 

Tantric Teacher Speaks About Prostate Massage

"We don't all start out as super tight-assed guys. But strong injunctions against making a mess after toilet training takes hold start us out clamping our back doors shut. Plus insensitive rectal exams and the modern war against rectal and prostate cancer doesn't help our relaxing into the pleasure produced by the huge density of nerve endings there.

By the way, surveys prove that over half of heterosexual men experiment with anal play. So if you're seriously considering it... it doesn't mean you're gay. If you'll pardon the tasteless metaphor, prostate play is an acquired taste. Most guys only enjoy it after repeated practice. That was certainly true for me. At first, I was tight, tense, and clamped rigidly shut. In fact, at times it was downright painful.

Because it focuses on pleasure as a divine imperative, Tantra was the perfect vehicle for me to welcome male G-Spot Orgasm. Under my guidance, my beloved learned to warm me up, lube me up, and enter me oh so gently. Even so, she initially contacted hot spots, ultra sensitive areas that needed to be healed with repeated exercise coupled with Tantric energy breathing. Stage by stage I got to the point where I could relax my sphincter almost at will.

Did you know there are two ring-like muscles that guard your anus, one under your control and one normally ruled by the involuntary nervous system? Developing the ability to relax and open both at will was a big step for me in welcoming G-Spot pleasure. Gradually I could feel new and unique sensations from the strokes on my prostate gland. Our Tantra training in the mid 1990s taught us to engage in penis and G-Spot massage as part of a multiple orgasm program."

Specialty toys for prostate massage are becoming more popular. The Aneros (not shown) received poor reviews from our customers and it was considered overpriced and difficult to use. It typically sells for $40.00- $50.00. We have a better alternatives shown above.

We have also received poor reviews about the The Eroscillator, endorsed by Dr. Ruth shown to the left. At $100 - $160 we figure it better rock your world. It's heavy and is cord operated which limits you; the attachments are hard plastic and actually painful according to some of our web site visitors.

Bswish BgeeWe recommend using a slim g-spot stimulator which is less expensive, is just as effective and vibrates. What you need for fun on the back end of anal love!

Sexual intensity is enhanced by massaging the penis at the same time! Some men have passed out from the sheer pleasure so be prepared for an amazing sexual experience!

You can stimulate the prostate with a finger, dildo or other anal toy through the anus. If you are using your finger or anal toys, try performing fellatio sex or a handjob at the same time. If your partner doesn't like anus area play you can perform prostate stimulation by firmly massaging the area between the anus and the scrotum from the outside. His orgasmic pleasure will become greater.

Some men enjoy it, some others don't. The amount that a man will enjoy this depends on his personal physiology as well as how he feels about it in general.

Some men may find it unpleasant for a number of reasons, while others will experience incredible orgasms. Relaxation and patience is the key.

Anal Love For Women

In a woman, the nerve centers of the vagina and the anus share several common walls and paths. When stimulated together, women can experience enhanced pleasure and extremely intense orgasms. Thus, double penetration (simultaneous insertion into the anus and vagina) can be an amazing sexual experience for a woman. Women also enjoy exclusive anal stimulation, both around the rim of the anus and through insertion and penetration.

Toys, Fingers & Penis

Using a sex toy such as a g-spot stimulator, dildo or anal beads can be exciting to a woman. While anal sex is not something all women enjoy, women can have anal orgasms and even female ejaculate while having one.

Many women enjoy rimming, and penetration, so the use of the toys, finger and penis for anal stimulation are all great ways to play.

In last week's newsletter we discussed how and why perimenopause begins and the symptoms associated with this transitional phase in a woman's life.

Mastering the Challenges of Perimenopause
Part 2 of 2

In part 2 we will discuss the many options available to you in mastering these challenges.

Menstrual Irregularity Vaginal Changes
Problems with Sleep Bladder Problems
Changes in Mood Low Libido

For some women this transitional period can last for years, whereas others transition to menopause within just a few months. What seems to matter most in the severity of symptoms is the other burdens women may have placed on their bodies over the years. Chronic stress, lack of exercise and poor nutrition are three major players as they greatly affect the body's ability to detoxify and maintain homeostasis. Other lifestyle choices such as consuming excessive amounts of alcohol and smoking are also compounding factors. With this said, healthy lifestyle modifications will make a significant difference in lessening the uncomfortable symptoms associated with perimenopause.

Lifestyle Modifications

1) Exercise

Exercise releases endorphins in the brain which stimulates a feeling of well being that can last several hours and help alleviate some depression and mood swings. Hot flashes are also less common among physically active women who exercise regularly. Recommendations are three to five days a week of exercise including resistance or weight training with weights, bands, machines and cardiovascular training such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming or aerobic type classes. Also, stretching should be done most days of the week to maintain range of motion. Yoga, pilates and tai chi classes can be a very valuable activity for woman of this age group. Exercise will assist in preventing heart disease and further rev the metabolism to burn off the extra fat gains associated with change in hormones.

2) Nutrition

As your risk of heart disease and osteoporosis increases at this time, a healthy diet is more important than ever. Choose a low in saturated and trans fats, and high-fiber diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. Add calcium-rich foods or take a calcium supplement, however supplements are not as good as dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt etc. Brewers yeast is also a great source of calcium, which is important for maintaining bone health.

Eliminate foods rich in synthetic or hormonal estrogens. It's best to obtain organic version of these foods and to switch to organic soy in place of meat and poultry. Soy products contain important isoflavones and it has been proven that soy products are associated with fewer hot flashes. Recommended soy products high in isoflavones: Raw green soybeans, soy flour (textured), dry roasted soybeans, instant beverage soy powder, not reconstituted Miso soup mix, soybean chips, tempeh, soybean curd cheese, tofu, tofu yogurt, soymilk. Women who eat a plant-based diet that is rich in a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables are less likely to experience premenopausal or menopausal symptoms.

3) Reduce or Eliminate Stimulants

It's definitely best for your overall health to stop smoking altogether and try to reduce or avoid alcohol and caffeine.Smoking increases your risk of developing heart disease and reduces bone strength. Alcohol can also reduce bone strength and has been associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. Experts recommend that women drink no more than one serving of alcohol each day. Stimulants can also trigger hot flashes and interrupt natural sleep cycles.

4) Stress Reduction

Stress creates an imbalance in body, mind and spirit and aggravates the symptoms of perimenopause. If practiced regularly, stress reduction techniques, such as meditation, yoga and self imagery, can promote relaxation and good health and are particularly helpful during this phase of a woman's life. Women tend to take care of everyone else, but don’t make time for themselves. Treat yourself to relaxation periods throughout your busy schedule to renew your energy and to help create a positive attitude.

Complementary and Alternative Therapies

Complementary and alternative therapies are medical treatments that are considered nontraditional. They include dietary and herbal supplements, acupuncture, chiropractic and massage therapy, biofeedback, homeopathy and eating certain foods that are thought to prevent disease or heal. Alternative treatments are often used alone, while complementary treatments are alternative treatments that are used in combination with traditional treatments, such as drug treatments or surgery. Alternative treatments, such as phytoestrogens (plant-based substances) and black cohosh (an herb), should be discussed with your doctor or naturopath because they may interfere with some medications and/or have possible risks and side effects.

Herbal Remedies and Supplements That Have Shown to be Helpful in Counteracting the Symptoms of Perimenopause While Increasing Overall Health -

Bayberry (Morella cerifera) - The fruit of the Bayberry tree can increase blood flow and capillary dilation in the mucus membranes of the vagina. This can increase vaginal lubrication. Bayberry also has beneficial effects on female reproductive muscle organs by increasing muscle tissue tone and circulation.

Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa, Actea racemosa) - A member of the buttercup family and native to North America. Some clinical research has shown shown that black cohosh is as effective for relief of hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. This herb has been proven to reduce lutenizing hormone secretions. High levels of lutenizing hormone are responsible for the onset of menopause.

Calcium - Essential for the normal growth and maintenance of bones and teeth. Perimenopause and menopause represent depletion of estrogen, which, in turn, is associated with increased risk of bone loss and heart disease. Should be taken with magnesium for optimal absorption.

Damiana (Turnera diffusa) - Damiana is a small shrub native to Mexico. The leaves are used for medicinal purposes. Damiana is considered a powerful aphrodisiac. It stimulates the function of the sympathetic nerves controlling the sexual organs, the urinary system, the digestive organs and the respiratory organs. The herb strengthens all the functions of the sexual organs and urinary system. This herb is especially effective for women as has been shown to have the same effects as the hormone progesterone and regulating estrogen which can benefit pre-menopausal and menopausal women.

Evening Primrose (oenothera biennis) - A biennial herb that is common in North America Parts  The seed oil is a good source of GLA, an essential fatty acid. An essential fatty acid is a nutrient that the body can't make but is essential to good health. Evening Primrose Oil has been used for premenstrual syndrome ( PMS ) and mastalgia ( sore breasts ) Studies to date have been conflicting, some show a significant reduction in breast pain, while others fail to confirm this. There are no known contraindications or drug interactions reported.

Flax Seed Oil ( Linum Usitatissimum) - A perennial herb growing to 3 ft. with oily brown seeds, native to Europe and Asia. The seeds and seed oil contain the active ingredients essential fatty acids - palmitic, steric, oleic, linoleic and linolenic. Flax seed oil is a good source of essential fatty acids. Flax seed oil is rich in (GLA) gamma Linolenic acid used by many for PMS and breast tenderness. No reports of toxicity, when used at recommended doses.

Gingko Biloba - Many research studies have shown Ginkgo Biloba can assist in improving blood flow. Enhancing blood flow to the genitals heightens sexual sensations. Gingko Biloba significantly increases mental activity and memory. Since sexual desire begins in the brain this herb can be a powerful sexual aid.

Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) - The several species of Ginseng are native to East Asia and Northern America. Ginseng stimulates neural functions and stimulates and normalizes cerebral and sexual organ blood flow. Ginseng also stimulates nerve growth, blood production and sperm production. This stimulation will in turn give a revitalizing effect, stronger sexual arousal, improved genital function and increased physical sensation.

Horny goat weed (Epidemium) - Epidemium is native to East Asia. The entire plant except for the root is used in herbal preparations. This herb stimulates the sexual organs, giving enhanced genital sensations. It can also increase sperm production, which may improve fertility. It further stimulates sexual desire by acting upon the central nervous system. This herb has been used for over 2,000 years as a libido enhancer for both men and women and to improve erection in men.

L-arginine with Choline- This combination is recommended daily for promoting better blood flow to the pelvic organs and tissue to assist with low libido.

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) - Maca is native to Peru and has been passed down as from the Incas as a legendary sex-enhancing root. Maca root is known for it's ability to stimulate sexual desire and drive, increase energy energy, libido and sexual function. This Peruvian herb may also help with hot flashes and night sweats.

Magnesium- Helps with calcium absorption, acts as a muscle relaxant, produces a sense of calmness, reduces mood swings and irritability, promotes a peaceful nights sleep, and reduces food cravings.

Natural Progesterone Cream - Natural progesterone creams usually contain extracts from Mexican wild yam, which contains a substance which is believed to be similar to the progesterone produced in the body. Many women have found natural progesterone creams to be very effective in treating menopause symptoms, but there is no evidence to show that the creams lower the risk of breast and uterine cancer, or are free from the risk of side effects as is sometimes claimed.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) - Leaves of the peppermint plant stimulate genital secretions which enhance lubrication. This facilitates the sexual act and protects the sexual organ against injury.

Sage (Salvia officinalis) - The leaf of the sage plant has been used medicinally for centuries. Sage leaf will assist in improving mental focus energy restoration. Sage is a natural antiperspirant that contains estrogen like substances to help alleviate "hot flashes" and the adverse reactions to hormonal changes.

Suma (Pfaffia paniculata) - Suma is native to the Amazon Basin. The indigenous people of the Amazon have been using Suma for centuries as a sexual tonic. Suma root is an adaptogen that normalizes hormone production, increases libido and calms nerves. An improved hormonal system can in turn improve mental and physical sexual function.

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) - Sleep disturbances are common during perimenopause caused by hormonal fluctuations. Valerian is an effective herbal supplement that decreases the time it takes to fall asleep, improves the quality of sleep, and reduces the number of night awakenings, all without any associated daytime drowsiness.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) - Natural sources of vitamin B6 are whole grains, bananas, potatoes, nuts and seeds and cauliflower. Vitamin B6 levels can be low in depression or in women taking estrogen, in the form of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. Pyridoxine, folic acid and vitamin B6 deficiencies have been associated with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. At least 10 studies have been done on the use of pyridoxine for PMS and have shown improvement of PMS symptoms with pyridoxine supplementation. Vitamin B6 is also associated with a decrease in the incidence of heart disease in women. Vitamin B6 is safe when taken in recommended dosages.

Vitamin C- best when taken with Bioflavonoids (such as Hesperidin), helps to boost the immune system, reduce hot flashes, and aid the adrenal glands

Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) - An antioxidant that found in high amounts in polyunsaturated vegetable oils, wheat germ, seeds and nuts. In natural vitamin E the small d in d-alpha tocopherol signifies a natural source which is preferable to synthetic vitamin E signified by the dl in dl-alpha tocopherol. Mixed tocopherols contain d-alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols. Mixed tocopherols offer the greatest benefit. Look for natural mixed tocopherols. Vitamin E has been shown to help in reducing hotflashes and vaginal dryness. Vitamin E potentiate (cause a greater effect) of anticoagulant drugs such as Coumadin or aspirin. If you are on either of these drugs consult your doctor or naturaopath before starting vitamin E.

Traditional Medical Treatments

If you have severe symptoms, you may want to ask your doctor about prescription medicines. Some choices include -

Low-dose hormone replacement therapy (HRT) - HRT consists of medications containing female hormones to replace the ones the body is no longer making. In 2002, a large clinical trial called the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) reported that hormone therapy actually posed more health risks than benefits for women in the clinical trial. As the number of health hazards attributed to hormone therapy grew, doctors became less likely to prescribe it. And up to two-thirds of women on the therapy discontinued its use, often without talking to their doctors. Today, there's plenty of confusion about hormone replacement therapy, which is now commonly called hormone therapy. The truth is that hormone therapy is not the magical cure for aging that it was once believed to be, but it's still the most effective treatment for unpleasant menopausal symptoms for most women. If you're facing menopause, learn more about the benefits and the risks of hormone therapy.

Low-dose Birth Control Pills - Helpful in preventing pregnancy and may also have some health benefits. They can reduce hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Very-low-dose birth control pills can also help regulate your periods if they are heavy or irregular. They may also prevent bone loss, and helps protect you from osteoporosis. Another potential benefit is protection from cancer of the ovary and uterus. The lower dose of estrogen in low-does birth control is believed to be safer for women who are perimenopausal. Perimenopausal women who have a history of deep blood clots, breast cancer or heart disease should not take very-low-dose birth control pills. Women who smoke also should not take them.

What Can You Do?

How do you decide what to do? Carefully review your medical history and re-examine your personal values and beliefs. You will then be better able to determine your goals and how best to achieve them. For example, some women choose only lifestyle changes, like diet, exercise, and relaxation. Others favor herbal remedies and acupuncture. And still others prefer to use medication. The choice is up to you.

The Case of the Amputated Penis

A Kentucky man is suing his doctors after they amputated his penis. The 61-year-old had gone in to have a circumcision for medical reasons and woke up from the procedure to find his member gone. According to the plaintiff’s attorney, the doctors found cancer in the organ and made an immediate decision to perform a penectomy, even though they only had permission to remove the foreskin. “The victim has suffered mental anguish, pain, and has lost the enjoyment of life, according to the lawsuit,” WKLY News reports.

 

Disbarred For Masturbation In Court

A former Oklahoma judge who masturbated on the bench has been disbarred. The judge was convicted of four counts of indecent exposure in June 2006 and was released this year after serving 20 months in prison. Prior to his jail time, “prosecutors had accused the judge of exposing himself and using a penis pump to masturbate” during four trials, UPI reports. The judge’s lawyer added that “the disbarment did not come as a surprise.”
