For a change, 7 vacation ideas with the guys in mind

Sometimes you need a break from the routine, to head out of town with a group of like-minded pals. But where to go? That depends, of course, on the interests of the guys in question. It's nice to have an active, outdoor component to the trip, but a getaway with friends is more likely to appeal to everyone involved if it includes more than exercise and fresh air.

One of these seven diverse destinations might fit the bill for your crew.

Every guy knows pumps, pills, exercises, and surgery won’t build bigger penises -- Or do they?

Guys, be honest: Do you wish you were bigger? Almost certainly, the answer is yes.

"I think there isn't a guy in the world who hasn't wished his penis were an inch or two longer," says Michael O'Leary, MD, professor of urologic surgery at Harvard Medical School and a urologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

However, after more than a century of generally dubious and sometimes lunatic penis enlargement attempts, there's still not much you can do. Sure, there are lots and lots of supposed options out there -- penis pills, creams, brutal stretching exercises, horrific-looking devices, and penis surgery. Almost none of it works. The few approaches that can work often have modest benefits and serious side effects. How serious? In some cases, erectile dysfunction-serious.

Losing weight is a matter of simple math. To drop pounds, you need to eat fewer calories than you burn. There’s no way around that. But what you eat can have an impact.

"Certain foods can help you shed body weight," says Heather Mangieri, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, "because they help you feel full longer and help curb cravings."

But not those with a receding hairline, say Japanese investigators who analyzed previous research.

Research out of Japan shows a potential link between male baldness and an increased risk for coronary heart disease.

But it only affects men who are balding on top. Those with a receding hairline are not at risk, the researchers reported.

To treat erectile dysfunction (ED), you first must lower your blood pressure if it's high. Some people are able to do that through lifestyle changes alone. Others need help from prescription blood pressure drugs.

A problem for many men, however, is that some types of blood pressure medicines can actually cause erectile dysfunction. That may make it difficult to stay on your medication, especially if your high blood pressure never caused any symptoms before. An estimated 70% of men who have side effects from blood pressure medicine stop taking it.
