Many years ago I attended a conference that was focused on how to empower myself on helping men having sex with men (MSM) within the context of sexually transmitted diseases. However, what struck me was a statement made by the speaker that ‘men and women have more anal sex than homosexuals do so it would be a mistake to limit issues surrounding anal sex to just the confines of homosexuality’. He is probably right and the rise of Anal Cancer in both men and woman is proof of this. Continue reading Anal Sex and Anal Cancer
Many years ago, I had the privilege of leading an outstanding organization. We were not just workers, we were friends. We had found a way to get our work done quickly and even help colleagues lagging behind so that we could all close early for the day. Continue reading Those Who Always Oppose CHANGE at Work.
Recently, I listened to a motivational speaker who boastfully declared that he slept for only four to five hours every day. He didn’t stop at that, he suggested that we all should cut down our hours of sleep to match his. He eloquently ‘calculated’ that if we sleep for the recommended seven to eight hours every night, by the time we are seventy years old, we would have slept for ‘about 18 years’- ‘imagine what you could do with the extra 18 years, he asked’ The crowd roared and the man exited the stage. That message was so inspirational, I could feel the energy in the room, but boy, the man is so wrong! Continue reading Sleep is What You Need!
It was just like any other house in the neighborhood but for the couple that lived in it. At least twice a month, the kids in the neighborhood and many adults too, would gather round this house peeping through the windows in order to catch a glimpse of the action. The motion was predictable. The couple would get into an argument and a fight would result. Then the man rants loudly making threats like ‘‘I will kill you’, ‘useless woman’, ‘just let me get up and see’. However, every single time, it was the woman that gave the man a beating. She would beat him and then sit on him until the neighbors would beg her to let him go. Continue reading Intimate partner and sexual violence
In his book ‘How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day’, Gelb argues that in order to be creative, leaders need to think like the famous artist, innovator, and thinker Leonardo da Vinci. He opines that leaders must master the following seven principles of creativity: “curiosita” (curiosity and continuous learning); “dimostrazione” (learning from experience); “sensazione” (sensory awareness); “sfumato” (accepting and embracing uncertainty); “arte/scienza” (balancing art and science, or systemic thinking); “corporalita” (physical fitness and ambidexterity) and “connessione” (seeing the interconnectedness of everything). Continue reading How to be Creative as a Leader

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. Continue reading Throat Gonorrhea from Oral Sex- More Common Than You Think
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?
