Proof Traditional Masculinity May Actually Be Dangerous
Academic studies can be fascinating... and totally confusing. So we decided to strip away all of the scientific jargon and break them down for you.  The BackgroundThe pressure to be traditionally masculine can cause men to overcompensate when their masculinity is threatened. But what does that overcompensation look like? Previous research has suggested that men who are stressed about their masculine identities may be more likely to commit violence within intimate or sexual relationships, while other research linked that pressure with poor health outcomes and risky sexual behavior. In a new st...

There Is No Such Thing As a 'Real Man'
Every week I see another list or article titled something like "How To Know If You're Dating A Real Man." Or I hear a woman on a talk show complaining that she just wants to date a "real man." Well, the sobering truth is that he doesn't exist. I have no problem with the traits that these lists often describe. Strong. A sense of purpose. Loving. Emotionally aware. Patient listener. Great communicator. Respectful. Chivalrous. And then there are the more stereotypical traits. Tattoos. Big biceps. Tall. Loves football. Big beards. Drinks beer. Does ju-jitsu. Drives a fancy car. The cowboy. The quarterback. But having any ...

This Is What Women Want In A Penis
By: Elizabeth Palermo, LiveScience Associate EditorPublished: 07/24/2015 08:41 AM EDT on LiveScience What makes a penis attractive? Not sure? Well, don't rely on your opinion to answer that question -- science has the answer. A new survey, published yesterday (July 23) in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, aimed to find out which qualities women consider most carefully when deciding whether a penis is attractive. Researchers from the University of Zurich in Switzerland first asked a group of 105 women, ranging in age from 16 to 45, to look at pictures of male genitalia and rate how "normal looking" they found each penis to be...

5 Masks We Wear and Why We Should Take Them Off
Imagine, for just a moment, a world where no one cared what car you drove, what designer handbag you carried, or what job you worked at. Can you sense the freedom? But this isn't reality, because we do care.  And because we care we've developed habitual masks to please and impress others. We all wear masks.   There's a good chance, too, you change your masks so habitually you don't even notice doing it. Maybe you've done it your entire life.  What mask do you wear?  How do you feel about the face you're portraying for the world to see? Are you truly yourself? Do you feel that you can be you, no matter what socia...

A Different Kind of Hero
My daughter, Julie, called several weeks ago to tell me how sad she was about the sudden death of David Goldberg, the husband of Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg. I sat up, surprised. I'd been thinking about the same thing all week. Julie spoke about imagining the loss of a husband who had so strongly championed his wife's career, had been shouldering fully half of the child care and domestic load and had pulled his weight in a hundred other ways. When I got off the phone with Julie, I remember thinking about Goldberg: "We lost a hero this week." It was a strange thought. I usually associate heroes with war stories, act...

How To Support A Transitioning Loved One
Bruce Jenner, the former Olympian who has become a reality TV star, revealed he is transgender Friday in a highly anticipated interview with Diane Sawyer. "Yes, for all intents and purposes I am a woman," Jenner said on ABC's "20/20." "People look at me differently. They see you as this 'macho male,' but my heart and soul and everything I do in life, it's part of me. That female side is part of me. It's part of who I am." Social support, particularly from loved ones, is a crucial aspect of a healthy and happy transition for many transgender people. And, simply by proudly identifying as transgender, Jenner has paved th...

Men, We Don't Take Care of Themselves, So What Would Happen If We Did?
Men, we just aren't very good at taking care of ourselves, especially when we compare ourselves to women. We eat more, we drink more, and we don't exercise enough. Hell, we are so bad about the whole health and wellness thing that 70 percent of us are either overweight, or downright obese, versus 57 percent of our female brethren, according to The Henry J. Kaiser Foundation. In my native state of West Virginia, the number skyrockets to 74.1 percent (Arkansas winning the state battle of the bulge, just by a belt notch at 74.5 percent, overtaken just by a belt notch by Arkansas at 74.6 percent). As if that's not bad enough...

10 Good Reasons To Get A Flu Shot
By Melaina Juntti for Men's Journal How many times have you heard you should get a flu shot? There's good reason for the hype: Over the past few years, the influenza vaccine has prevented millions of flu cases and tens of thousands of related hospitalizations, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although an increasing number of people are getting vaccinated every year, more than half of American men still aren't doing it, for a variety of reasons, most of which aren't backed by science. "Men have this macho sense that if they do get the flu, they can tough it out," says William Schaffner, M.D., chair...
