Male Menopause May Be Psychological
Men's sexual aging is far more mysterious than women's. When women look down the sexual road, at least one thing is clear: menopause. They know that if their sexual instincts, responses, and appetites start to go a bit haywire anytime from their late thirties on, there's probably a biochemical explanation. However there's also light at the end of tunnel. Men don’t have that same assurance. If their sexual responses turn less than trustworthy from around 40-years-old on, the possible causes seem endless. Maybe it's the toll of endless job stress, or a latent sexual identity crisis, or some disastrous hormonal disorder. Maybe it's male menopause, if such a thing exists. Like women, men's hormones do fluctuate with age. Despite the testicle's ability to resist aging, a majority of men experience a decrease in testosterone after age forty. Which also begs the question - How do I deal with sexual anxiety?

Do Marijuana Plants Have Feelings?
I remain keenly skeptical about claims that people have communed with geraniums, passionflowers, and Dracaena Massangeana let alone weed. Even that fascinating book The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird has failed to persuade me that vegetables are sensitive to threats, affectionate words, or recordings of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Though I am persuaded that certain cannabis responds to Bob Marley and Coldplay. Without appropriate receptors for receiving and processing sound, it is hard to believe that plants are capable of such feats. But there are two avenues of respectable research that should trouble anyone adopting this orthodox stance.

Best Organic Skincare Products
In Ancient Rome, urine was used as a facial mask because it was rumored to help improve skin. This practice began in Indian culture at least five centuries ago and made its way through the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, the Middle Ages, and even found its way into the baths of 18th century French women. Thankfully, we have come a long way from using pee as an organic skincare product. The products we use today are aimed at reducing wrinkles, as well as softening, moisturizing, and brightening skin, but the best products to use for any type of skin are organic.
