You can’t open your email without being reminded that your equipment is too small.  Viagra ads are everywhere — your Inbox, on TV, on radio.  By now, everyone knows that you should seek medical attention if you have an erection lasting more than four hours.  Or call the Guinness Book of Records.

With this marketing blitz, consumers will eventually tune out the noise, hence advertisers need to get creative in order to reach new customers.  So Viagra has turned to creative product placement with this light switch cover found in doctor’s offices.  It gives the term “turning on the lights” a whole new meaning. 

So if I flip this switch on and off repeatedly, does that make me gay?

Don’t you hate when that happens?  You wake up and can’t find your penis.

A Kentucky man claims his penis was removed without consent during what was supposed to be a circumcision.  He has sued the doctor and medical practice that performed the surgery.  Phillip Seaton, 61, and his wife are seeking unspecified medical and punitive damages from Dr. John M. Patterson for "loss of service, love and affection."

Post-surgical notes indicate the doctor detected cancer and removed the penis.  A later test on the penis did detect cancer.  "It was not an emergency," Seaton’s lawyer said Thursday.  "It didn’t have to happen that way."

The lawsuit is similar to one in 1997 which resulted in a $2.3 million award to an Indianapolis man whose penis and left testicle were removed without his consent during surgery for an infection.

Beer Pong is a drinking game in which players throw a ping pong ball across a table to land the ball in one of several cups of beer on the other end.  The game typically consists of two 2-player teams, facing opposite each other across a table, and 6 or 10 plastic cups arranged in a triangle in front of each team.  When a ball lands in a cup, the defending team must consume the beer inside that cup.  The game is won by eliminating all of the other team’s cups before they eliminate your cups.  The losing team must then consume all of the beer remaining in the winning team’s cups.  There are no official rules, so rules can vary widely.  Beer pong is popular at parties, colleges, and tailgating at sporting events.

A new report today from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta reports that HSV-1, the virus that causes cold sores, is on the rise for beer pong players aged 17-21.  The huge jump (up 230% from 2007) is raising concern with disease officials, teachers and parents.

"This epidemic is something we should pay close attention to. We’re aware that we cannot outright prevent [beer pong], so we have provided new red cups available to all students in the dorms," said President of Arizona State University, Michael M. Crow.

There’s an obvious solution to this problem, as noted by one of the readers at Current.com:  "This is why I stick to my favorite drinking game.  It’s called, "Drinking," and in it, you get a drink, preferably one with an obscene amount of alcohol in it, then you drink it as fast as you can.  Once the drink is empty you get another one and repeat. It’s really fun, and I always win!"

CDC Tips for Safe Beer Pong

• Never share beer cups
• Discard cups after every use
• Do not stack cups
• Get tested for STDs regularly
• Remember, alcohol may impair the ability to play beer pong safely

10 Surprising Health Benefits of Sex

When a woman is splayed out on an examination table, feet in stirrups, face grimacing as her gynecologist inspects her innards with a cold metal object, this is not exactly the time to start a conversation.  Yet for gynecologists, this is simply another day at the office, and so ob-gyn’s have been known to say some rather inappropriate things.

RadarOnline asked women around the country to share their tales of being the “ultimate captive audience for aspiring comedians or otherwise awkward practitioners of the vaginal arts.”   Crazy stories include:

“My gynecologist recently told me I have an adorable uterus.”

“I got a ‘That’s weird’ once from a guy gyno. It was regarding an irregular period. It probably doesn’t need to be said that I would have preferred a more clinical opinion than that.”

“…he gave me some medication and said to take it for a week, and then told me that I should be able to have sexual activity again by next weekend. I said, ‘I don’t think I’ll be having sexual activity again next weekend.’  He said, ‘I dunno, you might get lucky.’”
