Historical Anxiety Cures for Men Included a "Nutsack Holder"

There are a few categories where women tend to get all of the attention. These include red carpet fashion, pregnancy and old-timey anxiety cures. Of course, that’s partially due to the salaciousness of the female nervousness of yore — any time bringing someone to orgasm is considered a medical...

Before There Were Energy Drinks, There Was Powdered Ox-Brain

In 2013, two doctors wrote a piece for TIME about our energy obsession (specifically, energy drinks and similar energy snacks), noting, “We have become obsessed with the concept of ‘energy’ and yet display a profound misunderstanding of what energy is.” But that’s not entirely accurate: We’ve been...

Why Watching Someone Get Hit in the Nuts Has Always United Humanity

If you look at the internet today, there are a few things that you can learn about humanity: 1. Our political systems have serious problems. 2. Communicating without using real faces or names can strip us of our empathy and turn us into cruelty machines. 3. We...

16th-Century Italian Meat Carvers Were Way Ahead of Your Uncle Walter

Imagine this: You’re in the audience of the 16th-century edition of Italy’s Got Talent. Some guy from some small village plays a sweet lute riff. Maybe Michelangelo paints a sweet-ass ceiling live. Finally, out struts Vincenzo Cervio, holding a giant fork with a roasted goose joint on...

Why Real Men Aren't Afraid to Cook for Themselves

I’m going to describe an image to you, and I want you to think about where you’ve seen it in the last few years. There’s a man — maybe wiry, maybe with a potbelly; either way, his forearms are sinewy and covered with tattoos. The sleeves of his flannel...

Why Are Thanksgiving Leftovers the Only Acceptable Leftovers?

When I think of men and leftovers, I think of the Blondie comic-strip character Dagwood, his goofy smile distracting from the horror-movie blackness of his eyes, raiding the fridge for a midnight snack or to make one of his famous sandwiches. Several strips specifically mention Dagwood’s love...

A Hard Look at the Dick Joke Through History

From ancient Roman mosaics to Silicon Valley’s boner math, people have always laughed at penises. Don’t believe anyone who says the world is crasser than ever. They might speak of a “gentler time,” extolling the values of things like “polite company” and “G-rated films” and “salads that...

The Prepackaged Masculinity of the Hungry-Man Dinner

Men: They’ve always eaten food. But over the years, what they’ve eaten — and what’s been marketed to them to eat — has changed. That’s why MEL enlisted Meg Favreau, a weird history writer and person who eats food, to start Feed the Beast, an occasional series about the most interesting...
