Cleaning the bathroom too often may sound absurd considering the filthy stuff that happens in there (and the resulting gobs of germs). But a recent study published by the European Lung Foundation warns that regular exposure to common toilet-bowl disinfectants like bleach and hydrogen peroxide increases your...
Screw online self-diagnosis. Hear me out: Have you ever noticed a strange red bump on your skin, or felt a strange pain in your chest, or basically anything that then led you down a symptom-search rabbit hole, causing you to believe that your penis was going to fall off while...
A new study finds that one in six men who take a crap at work don’t always wash their hands afterward. It was a British study, so we know that they don’t take crap, they “have a poo” — but of all their crimes, it’s the lack of consistent...
More and more of my friends have quit drinking hard liquor of late, instead drinking only beer and wine in an attempt to curb their alcohol intake. Their logic seems to be somewhat sound: Because liquor messes you up harder/faster, they believe that drinking only beer and wine...
According to a recent report, the lube business is sliding toward becoming a $25 billion industry by the year 2025. “Industry growth is being driven by a number of factors, including more open conversations about sex, the increasing popularity of sex toys and adult goods and the...
S***, shower, shave: the three S’s of a successful grooming routine, but an elusive process to perfect. It takes a disciplined diet and schedule to become a same-time-every-day pooper. My own BM schedule is haphazard and borderline dangerous — too many times have I experienced the shame of the...

A new study from the University of Athens suggests that olive oil could be a good remedy for tackling erectile dysfunction — and no, we’re not talking about squirting some on your hand and using it to manually inspire a woody (although that’s totally okay, too). So is this...
Every fruit is healthy—especially when you consider the fact that nearly 90 percent of Americans don’t eat enough of them—but still, some are healthier than others, and damn it, I’m feeling pedantic. And so, I asked Dana Hunnes, senior dietitian at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center,...
Low-carb (and even no-carb) diets have been all the rage as of late, promising weight loss by essentially mimicking starvation. But a recent study found that it’s moderate consumers of carbs who are actually less likely to die an early death, rather than those who consume either...
People are so bad at wiping their butts, doctors have coined a condition to mock them for it. It’s called PAS, or “polished anus syndrome,” and it comes from, in part, Americans’ abysmal bathroom hygiene. After doing our business, we take dry, rough toilet paper and smear...
