The choice: use or lose

Mehul consulted his family physician about his Erectile Dysfunction and sought treatment. The elderly physician’s rejoinder was: “At your age, you ought not to be worrying about it. At this age you should be worrying about your diabetes and heart.”
Wait a minute! Fifty years was bracketed as ‘at your age’! Does a midlife sexual problem mean end of sexuality?
Gentlemen, the future holds the promise of an age beset with marvels of modern medicine and technology. Having understood the intricacies of the sexual functioning, medical science holds a plethora of choices for the enhancement of the joys of sex.
Apart from Viagra, new therapeutic options will be: second generation PDE-5 inhibitors, dopaminergic agonists, oral phentolamine, potassium channel modulators, prostglandin E1, gene growth factor therapy, cavernosal tissue culture and transplant stem cell application.
The benefits of enjoying good sexual life outweigh its abstinence. It is like an aerobic workout that tones your heart and boosts your circulation. Hormones released during arousal reduce anxiety and panic. Orgasm releases chemical messengers called endorphins that are known to reduce backaches and arthritis. It is also a statistical fact that depression is kept at bay by virtue of being wanted or of bonding. The immune system is known to be better in people who have sex, which in turn contributes to longevity of life.
There are three organs in your body that you either use or lose. The brain, joints and the genitals. So, men, choose if you want to use or lose!

Aspiring to be like father
vir das

The person I am closest to would definitely be my father. He is the most diligent person I have ever come across, he is an immense inspiration in my life.
Even though our family is from a small town in UP, together we have been able to defy the stereotypes and contrived to reach heights.
Some people strongly believe that I am my father’s replica but I strongly feel that there is still a lot that I have to accomplish in order to be the kind of person my father is. We share a very special bond and that is very precious to me.
