Happy Thankgiving
When I think back about Thanksgiving growing up, good times and delicious food come to mind. My family and I celebrated together at the dinner table. We prayed and thanked God for everything such as- a mommy and a daddy, clothes, a warm home, food, toys, etc. Now, as an adult I too celebrate this wonderful holiday with my own family and we are ever thankful for everything he provides in our life, and we pray also for those that may not be as fortunate or going through tough times.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Girls on Men and grooming
What do girls think about Men and manscaping?
By Jesse Aldana
According to several polls online the results are that most men do in fact regularly manscape or only when things go a little bit out of control. The polls also included that most women do favor a man that is well groomed down under, followed by preferring a guy that is wild and out of control. How do you like them apples?
4 Problems Men Have With Relationships
By Paul Tamburro November 12, 2012
So you're in a relationship. After months of drunkenly ambling about in clubs attempting to attract the opposite sex like an alcoholic peacock, you've finally struck gold. However, no relationship is perfect, and you've inevitably come across your fair share of issues in your fledgling romance. Here are the 4 most common problems men have with relationships.
1. She thinks we should spend more quality time with each other, but I just want to go out drinking.
Problem: At times you probably feel conflicted between your understanding that being in an adult relationship requires you to behave like an adult, and your inate desire to consume a lot of alcohol before getting sick on your shoes. Your girlfriend, out of concern for your deteriorating health, has suggested that you perhaps lay off the drinking for a while, and that you spend some quality time together. "She's trying to change me", you probably thought to yourself. "This is where it starts. First she doesn't want me to drink one weekend, next thing I'm spending my Saturdays weeding the driveway. I need to get out of here!"
Solution: In truth, it's completely within the realm of possibility for you to balance spending time with both your girlfriend and your liver, but logic and reasoning are irrelevant when you've already booked a one-way flight to Magaluf.
2. She gets annoyed when I fall asleep straight after sex.
Problem: In an ideal world a woman's orgasm would be just the same as a man's. It'd be easy, quick, and followed by the type of indeterminable regret that can only be cured by sleeping. However, in reality it is much more complicated, and following the point of climax many women appreciate a cuddle. Some even want to talk. Imagine that. Imagine having a body that is actually capable of conversation after sex. Insanity. Unfortunately, your habit of turning your back to her and falling straight to sleep isn't as charming as you may think, with her stating that your emotional distance from her following intercourse makes her feel "a bit like a prostitute".
Solution: In order to successfully avoid a post-sex confrontation whilst simultaeously enjoying a good night's sleep, you must administer the Hug 'n' Roll.
3. We argue over ridiculous things.
Problem: It's been said that arguments are beneficial in a relationship, but chances are whoever said that had never been involved in an hour-long debate concerning who left bacon out of the freezer. While you expect to have conflicting ideas with your girlfriend over important topics directly affecting your relationship, you did not expect to spend your Saturday afternoon screaming at each other over you forgetting to record the Great British Bake Off, or that she found one of your pubic hairs in the kitchen sink.
Solution: Spending so much time with each other will inevitably lead to you both discovering things about each other that you may dislike, but how you express your dislike of these things is what will either make or break your relationship. For instance, discussing your problems in an adult, civilised manner will likely lead to you resolving those problems. However, angrily chasing your girlfriend around the house with a hammer will likely lead to your arrest.
4. She keeps saying that she's bored.
Problem: In the majority of relationships, men are the "settlers". Whereas women will more than likely be the ones looking forward to the future, men would happily spend their weekdays doing nothing more than playing video games and going to the pub. Inevitably, this will lead to her growing bored, which will then lead to you having to get off your arse and pretend that you're not boring.
Solution: Fun is often associated with spontaneity, but you needn't spend every weekend throwing yourselves off of the edge of a mountain to get the spark back in your relationship. Simply spend more time with her, go to nice restaurants, and if that doesn't work then at least you've still got the mountain as a solid plan B.

Sex Joke Of The Day!
A husband emerged from the bathroom naked and was climbing into bed when his wife complained, as usual, "I have a headache." "Perfect," her husband said. "I was just in the bathroom powdering my penis with aspirin. You can take it orally or as a suppository, it's up to you!"

Couples' Sexual Relationships Can Suffer During IVF, Study Finds
Technical focus on getting pregnant may interfere with pleasure, romance
FRIDAY, Nov. 2 (HealthDay News) -- A couple's sexual relationship and satisfaction can suffer while attempting to conceive a child through in vitro fertilization (IVF), a new study reports.
In IVF, mature eggs are retrieved from a woman's ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab in order to create embryos, which are then implanted in the woman's uterus. IVF is used after couples have tried several other less invasive procedures. By the time they begin IVF, couples may have been trying to conceive for many years.
Indiana University researchers looked at the responses of 270 women who completed an online questionnaire. They also conducted interviews with 127 men and women using IVF and with 70 health providers, including doctors, nurses and mental health experts.
The study authors found that women undergoing IVF had significantly less sexual desire, interest in sexual activity and satisfaction with their sexual relationship, compared to women who did not require IVF.
The women undergoing IVF also had more difficulty with orgasm and were more likely to report sexual problems such as sexual pain and dryness. The sexual problems worsened as the IVF treatment proceeded, the researchers noted in a university news release.
Women undergoing IVF reported similar problems with sexual function regardless of whether the cause of infertility was in the man, woman, or both, the investigators found. In addition, women who reported being sexually active with a partner in the past month were more likely to masturbate and to report fewer sexual problems, they noted.
Hormonal treatments used in assisted reproductive technologies, such as IVF, may affect women's sexual experiences and pain. However, these effects are not well understood and have not been well studied, the study authors pointed out.
The researchers also added that little attention has been given to the sexual relationships and satisfaction of couples undergoing IVF and other infertility treatments, even though sex plays a role in a couple's efforts to have a child.
"Sex is for pleasure and for reproduction, but attention to pleasure often goes by the wayside for people struggling to conceive," study co-author Nicole Smith, a doctoral student with the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at the Indiana University School of Public Health, said in the news release.
"With assisted reproductive technologies, couples often report that they feel like a science experiment, as hormones are administered and sex has to be planned and timed. It can become stressful and is often very unromantic and regimented; relationships are known to suffer during the process," Smith said.
The study was presented Oct. 30 at the American Public Health Association meeting in San Francisco. The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
