If you think oral sex is safe, think again! For the faithful and uninfected couple, yes, it is safe (except of course for the occasional gastrointestinal germs that may contaminate the genital area but it is – occasional). If you are not so sure about the faithfulness of your partner to you, then you might want to weigh the risks vs the benefits of oral sex.

FIFA Corruption Scandal
In their article “The 5 Biggest Corporate Scandals of 2015” Fortune, Matthews and Gandel (2015) argue that the FBI’s indictment of FIFA officials for racketeering, fraud, and other offenses is one of the major corruption scandals of recent years. They opine that the corruption part was the least remarkable aspect of the news, as FIFA officials had long been suspected of taking bribes in exchange for granting broadcasting rights for games and hosting rights for events like the World Cup.
The news is that the FBI also indicted five sports marketing executives at the same time including some of America’s largest corporations, including Coca-Cola and McDonald’s‑top FIFA sponsors.

The biological purpose for male orgasm is simple, when men ejaculate, it serves as a sperm delivery system. The tense, satisfying feeling of male ejaculation is soothing, enjoyable and men look forward to repeating it. Marvin Gay in his 1982 classic described it as ‘sexual healing’, a sickness brought about by nature whose biological purpose is to release spermatozoa for procreation. The man ejaculates all the time he has sex. On the other hand, the female orgasm does not release an ‘egg’ from the ovary. Indeed, it has no direct correlation to fertility, female orgasm isn’t required for a woman to become pregnant. Continue reading Why is there no biological purpose for female orgasm?
When leaders have to make hard and tough decisions, they sometimes have to use personal values as a benchmark. Badaracco (1997) in his book “Defining Moments: When Managers Must Choose Between Right and Right. Boston: Harvard Business Review” opines, that often times, resolving such problems is not a simple case of “you have to do the right thing” as the school of ethics would have you believe. Instead of thinking about right versus wrong, he argues that the hardest things to really work through are when it is right versus right.

I remember one of those dreadful nights as a medical house officer fresh from medical school. I was rotating through obstetrics and was on-call with an obstetric registrar. We had been called to see a woman with a queried appendicitis but the ER doctor called us in to rule out a possible ectopic/tubal pregnancy. Tubal pregnancies and appendicitis have one thing in common -pain in the right lower abdomen. After the registrar examined the lady, he sent her for an ultrasound scan to rule in a tubal pregnancy. Shortly afterwards, a senior registrar (who had just passed his fellowship exam of the West African College of surgeons) did the scan. We watched eagerly as he pointed at the female pelvic area landmarks, more like teaching us as we watched on with ignorance but enthusiasm. His conclusion Continue reading Why women die from “appendicitis”!
