If it seems like mosquitoes are more attracted to you than others around you, it’s probably true. Some people are just juicer targets, and while there are plenty of theories as to why that is, most haven’t actually been tried and tested by scientists. Sadly, one of the few actual...
Although the strictest quarantine restrictions have been lifted in most, if not all states, it would be fair to say that life as we once knew it has not returned fully to normal. In many places, for instance, restaurants are still not allowed to run at full...
When you’re a dad, parenting questions often come up that you struggle to find an answer to. Since other parents are the worst and Google will send you down a rabbit hole of paralyzing, paranoid terror, we’re here to help by putting those questions to the experts....
Sweaty as they may be, wearing a mask isn’t a problem. Disposable gloves are fine, too, if I’ve got them. I might even wear my sunglasses inside the grocery store, for added eye protection. But is all of that pointless if I run errands in my usual summer uniform of...
Here’s a situation every man will relate to, even if they don’t admit it: You just got home from a long day of work, during which your balls were cramped between your underwear and your thigh. You reach down to rearrange your fellows, maybe enthusiastically scratch that...
If you’re a man of a certain age, there may come a point in your life when it’s time to tap out of the procreation ring of fire. Maybe you have your hands full with a couple kids already. Maybe you’re of the one-and-done ilk, and wish...

Having your mailbox perpetually flooded with letters addressed to someone other than yourself is a reality that almost everyone deals with at some point in life. When I first moved into my most recent apartment, I was receiving so many letters to so many different people that...
We’ve all been there: Splayed out on the couch after too much dinner, gassy and full of regret. What happens next in your pants is as a predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west — you rip some ass. Or, at...
Despite many states and business reopening — at least to some extent — we should still be doing our part by staying home as much as possible (and certainly working from home if your employer allows it). But as you plunge further and further into quarantine, the...
Before the coronavirus pandemic, it was relatively easy to spot a sick person: coughing, sneezing, red eyes and a runny nose are all classic tells.

There you are, standing in front of the bathroom mirror with your razor in your hand, ready to do the same annoying thing you’ve done (almost) every day since the last day of puberty: Shave your face. Considering that the average man shaves 20,000 times in his...
