If you can cross 6 minutes in bed, you are normal – Urologist

“We don’t have a culture of asking questions,” host of Joy FM’s Home Affairs, Edem Knight-Tay would remark to her guest, Dr Matthew Yamoah Kyei, a consultant urologist at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. But under the relative anonymity of radio, the men would emerge from their hideouts, revealing on Joy FM’s Home Affairs, the many little demons they battle with in their sexual lives. The urologist set a sex-time target of six minutes and said men who are able to cross this mark in bed are considered normal. It is only in a bed that Usain Bolt is not a hero because speed is actually weakness, and the tortoise is actually a strength. With six minutes the minimum, the men called in to complain about their numbers. Joe, a 35-year-old man, regurgitated his wife’s complaint that...

Bride fuming as mother-in-law shows ‘wedding dress’ she wants to wear on son’s big day

A bride-to-be has shared her frustration after her mother-in-law decided she was going to get a dress the same colour as hers for the wedding. There are two things you don't do at a wedding - crash it or attempt to upstage the bride by wearing white. But clearly, one woman didn't get the message as a bride-to-be has taken to Reddit to vent her fury over the dress her mother-in-law wants to wear to the wedding.

However, it seems the other woman didn't take kindly to this and ha...

Masturbating: Addicted man pleads for help

A 25-year-old man, who claims to have been masturbating for 11 years now, wants to quit the act. The young man, who made a passionate appeal on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem Tuesday, said while in Senior High School he sought help from a friend he believed could help him stop the act but was wrong as his friend rather convinced him to become his gay partner. “I was in school one time and confided in a friend that I masturbate and wanted to stop.

This Is Exactly Why You Get Turned on When You Workout

If you've ever felt yourself get "in the mood" while exercising, it's nothing to be ashamed of—because it's likely due to biology more than it is your ego about how good you look while doing arm curls in front of a mirror. "Workout, especially lower-body ones, cause the body to secrete hormones like testosterone," personal trainer Nick Liguori told Well+Good recently. "This increases the blood flow to your reproductive organs, which ignites your libido." However, a rush of testosterone is more of a factor of increased arousal during exercise in men than it is in women. Though that doesn't mean women aren't also getting turned on when they break a sweat, it's just more likely caused by something else. A 2008 study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, f...
