Why Are They Single if They Have it All?

Sometimes you meet people who immediately engage you. You're taken by their energy, their good looks, their kindness. They talk to you—not at you. They ask you questions, are genuinely interested in finding out about you. You learn about them. They have a great job, have loads of friends, always are doing interesting things. But then you find out they're single, and have been for a long time.

Food & sex do go together!

Food is the new foreplay. In order to give your time in the sack a boost, watch what you eat.

When it comes to sex, you may want to watch what you put in your mouth. What we eat can help – and hurt – us in the sack. According to David Zinczenko, Editor-in-Chief of Men’s Health magazine and author of Eat This, Not That, these foods can help feed our sex drives.

Sure, we all have comfort foods... dishes and snacks that make us feel cozy inside. But too often we also feel guilty when we eat them. Check out these...

• Bananas: Yes, the fruit that has spawned billions of penis jokes in sex ed classes is good for more than just practicing putting on a condom. The potassium and vitamin B-rich fruit helps boost the production of sex hormones.
• Chocolate-covered strawberries: Not only are they delicious and fun to feed each other, but chocolate-covered strawberries also work behind the scenes. A chemical in chocolate releases the same hormone that is released during sex and the vitamin C in strawberries gives the libido a boost.
• Pomegranates: The antioxidants help increase blood flow to ALL parts of the body.
• Asparagus: The vitamin E stimulates the production of sex hormones to get you in the mood.
• Steak: A nice hunk of red meat will boost dopamine and norepinephrin, which heighten sensitivity.
• Ice cream: Want everyone to scream in the sac? Then reach for the cool and creamy. A bowl of vanilla ice cream contains calcium and phosphorous, which give your libido a boost and help make your big m-oh-ment more scream-worthy.

There are also come foods to avoid. According to Zinczenko, you may want to skip these foods.

• Oysters: Really? Really. The zinc and iodine in this nugget from the sea help with respiration (think heavy breathing), body temperature (keeping cool while things heat up) and testosterone (for a manly boost). But experts say you’d have to eat at least 50 oysters at once in order to get these boosting benefits. We’ll pass.
• Tomatoes: The lycopene in tomatoes actually decreases testosterone levels. Even though the effect is mild, you might want to steer clear before sexy time.
• Wine: All things in moderation. One glass will help blood vessels relax, but more will have a reverse affect.

Try dining on these aphrodisiacs. A five intercourse meal might lead you to, well, five intercourses!

Gay men being friends with straight men

The New York Times has a good article that looks into the types of friendships that gay and straight men can have with each other. Its conclusion:

Although male friends of opposite orientations can face formidable obstacles - sexuality, language, peer pressure, inequality - there seems to be more mutual appreciation and common ground.

I found many of the issues raised by the friends to be spot on as they related to the friends I have who are straight. And it hit on one area of commonality that is very true with me: a common love of sports.
