My most toxic habit is reusing my one-day contact lenses. They seem good as new after a day of wear, so I just plop them into a case with some fresh solution. I usually only reuse a pair once but I’ve been known to do it twice....
When it comes to working out, we’re not all strongmen like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (aka the Mountain from Game of Thrones). In fact, many of us could go our entire lives and still have no clue how a lat pull-down differs from an incline bench. Which is to say, there’s...
Sex is great. You know that. We know that. Even your mom knows that (think about it — you’re here, aren’t you?) But do you know what’s even greater than sex? All the ways having sex improves your overall well-being, which we’ve listed below. Sex Helps You...
You’ve got a bowl of beans staring back at you, an oozy, luscious brown brittle of ground beef swimming in a pool of pinto bean bubbles. “Eat me,” you hear it say. “Eat me… and fart your brains out.” But what if you’re in polite company? What...
If you ever took the time to actually read through the drug information pamphlet your pharmacist gave you with your medication, you might notice that it specifically mentions not to eat grapefruit. You might be inclined to toss that advice out the window along with the “do not...

Have you ever wondered why your penis hangs at the angle it does? Maybe it dangles to the right because it’s so used to being, uh… well, tugged in that direction by your right hand? Or maybe it droops to the left because that’s the pant leg...
