Circumcision is a controversial topic. Pros and cons exist for men who are cut, and men who are not. In 2007, I decided to get cut. I had a number of reasons, amongst them that I prefer the way cut dicks look, personal hygiene, and that I’d heard that I would have 60% less chance of contracting HIV, should I ever have unprotected sex.

Come December 1, 2014, millions worldwide will be flaunting a red ribbon of some sort. To date the function of World AIDS Day and what it signifies has been an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. This year WAD is celebrating its sweet 16, and to me it should be a circumspect celebration of man and life.

I zipped through the aisles grabbing the necessary and as I swept a two-litre bottle of milk off the shelf an Adonis checking out the nutritional info on the side of a milk carton stopped me in my tracks.

Shortly before my 28th birthday, I discovered that a friend of mine was HIV positive. He wasn’t a very close friend, but I knew him quite well and it came as a shock to me because he was well educated, intelligent and financially established in the world, and I believed that people like him did not get HIV.

One of my favourite sitcom quotes comes from Will & Grace when Karen tries to coax Jack into sleeping with Beverly (Lesley Jordan) for money. “Oh you'll do it. You'll do it the same way any self-respecting woman does. Get on your back, point your heels to Jesus and think of handbags.”

How we feel about ourselves affects how we behave and how well we take care of ourselves.

I can't believe it's been a year since I didn't become a better person. New Year’s resolutions are made yet very few of us manage to keep those promises we make to ourselves. According to Forbes, a mere 8 percent of people actually achieve their New Year's resolution. A friend of mine joked “I probably shouldn't be making any new resolutions this year...mainly because I'm still working on the ones from last year.” Somebody wise said that if we always do what we've always done, we’ll always get what we always got. When it comes to sexual health the reality is probably a little bit more complex…

I could ease you into this topic gently and “lubricate” this tantalising topic with humour and innuendo, but unlike sex (which may require a warm-up for some people), I think it’s best to plunge right in and get to the point. This is an informative article about “rimming”, also known as “analingus”. Rimming is the erotic practice of stimulating the anus of another person using your mouth (which includes the tongue, lips and teeth.)

“She thinks fellatio is a character in Shakespeare” – Cherry Falls (2000) Just how much do you really know about the ancient practice of oral sex, more specifically, the delicate art of fellatio? Fellatio or fellation, also known as a blowjob (BJ), giving head or sucking off, is the act of using your mouth or throat to pleasure a penis – your own (autofellatio) or someone else’s.
