In 1968, police stopped and questioned Strom Thurmond after they caught him jogging. Yet in 1957 he filibustered for 24 hours to stop the Civil Rights Act passing, so you could argue jogging wasn’t his worst crime. The ’60s was a strange time for those unusual folks who loved to…

Urinary catheter enthusiast Benjamin Franklin once said, “Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” That’s not to say the urinary catheter didn’t exist before he came along, but he did invent the bendy catheter. Before then, they were solid metal tubes rammed up the urethra, but that’s…

It’s said there is nothing sexier than a crying man, although if he’s crying after sex, I’m not so sure. That said, who knows why he is crying? The quality of the intercourse, or perhaps some deeply imbued intimacy issues. There is nothing more shameful for a man than coital…
