To first be sure our left-right combination lands squarely, we have to clearly define manliness - we need to understand just what is being attacked before we can counterattack. The answer to who is manly and who isn't - as I discovered while researching my book "The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide" - has always been defined according to various cultures' codes of honor. If a Japanese samurai, for example, truly adhered to Bushido, or code of the warrior, he was honorable. The Chinese often were judged according to the Precepts of Taoism; Judea-Christians have long had the 10 Commandments; and throughout the Middle Ages, there were chivalric codes of honor and, later, in Europe and America (especially the South) the gentleman's codes of honor. These codes are not relics. Some modern codes include the Texas Ranger Code of Conduct and the U.S. Marine Corps Creed. It's just that they have lost traction with much of mainstream society.

But even so, medical experts are quick to caution men not to self-dose or to take more than the recommended amounts of these medications, because harmful side effects can result. "Our data suggest if men are taking these [medications] for another problem, it might prevent urological problems as well," said Jennifer St. Sauver, an epidemiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota who led a study that found that men who took nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) daily had a reduction of about 50 percent in enlargement of the prostate gland. The condition, called benign prostatic hyperplasia, affects many men after age 40. The gland, about the size of a walnut, is below the bladder and surrounds the urine-carrying canal or urethra. The gland often enlarges in older men, making urination difficult. But men in St. Sauver's study who took painkillers daily had more than a third fewer moderate to severe urinary problems than men who did not take daily painkillers. Lower levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) also seem to be a benefit experienced by men who take NSAIDs regularly. PSA is a biomarker in the bloodstream that is used to assess the risk of getting prostate cancer." Read the entire article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/painkillersmaybegoodfortheprostate

Since then, according to a new report from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, contraceptive use by teens has declined while their sexual activity has remained unchanged. This is a worrisome shift — and it has bearing on the coming budget battle in Congress. The report’s authors, Dr. John Santelli, Mark Orr, Laura Lindberg and Daniela Diaz, said they found a decrease of about 10 percent in contraception use that is consistent with recent gains in the teenage birth rate. They suggest, not unreasonably, a link between the shift in use of contraception and one of former President George W. Bush’s great social-policy follies: highly restrictive abstinence-only sex education programs that deny young people information about sexually transmitted diseases, contraceptives and pregnancy. To the extent these programs even mention condoms, typically it is to disparage their effectiveness. Responding to mounting evidence of the program’s danger as a public health strategy, many states now decline to participate, forgoing federal money."
