What does tanning have to do with penile sensitivity? I recently interviewed Randy Tymkin, the inventor of ManHood, and his story is a great example of why I love learning about innovative products in men's sexual health. I first learned about ManHood from a patient who came to see... me because he was having difficulty reaching orgasm. When I asked what he'd tried, he mentioned a product called ManHood—a soft sleeve worn over the head of the penis to protect it from friction and irritation. He told me he'd noticed an improvement in sensitivity while using it. I was intrigued. I started recommending it to select patients and eventually connected with Randy to learn more about the product and the story behind it. Here's the interesting part: Randy originally developed ManHood because he wanted to protect his genitals while tanning. What started as a practical solution to a personal problem evolved into a product designed to serve as a nonsurgical foreskin substitute, particularly for circumcised men. The idea is that reducing daily friction against clothing may help protect the sensitive tissue of the penile glans and potentially improve comfort and perceived sensitivity. Is there robust clinical evidence demonstrating that ManHood improves penile sensitivity or orgasm? Not yet. But I think there's value in exploring low-risk, noninvasive options, especially when patients are the ones introducing us to products that have helped them. One of the things I love most about practicing medicine is that I'm constantly learning from my patients. Sometimes they introduce me to something I might never have discovered otherwise. In this clip, Randy shares the origin story of ManHood and how a simple idea evolved into a product that's been around for more than 30 years. Have you heard of ManHood?

Are you open to doing interviews with men who feel mutilated by foreskin amputation and are "restoring" their foreskin with non surgical solutions? It's very fascinating subject matter at the very least.

I resent that I was circumcised as a baby, its clearly caused problems my entire life despite being a "normal procedure" (as in, not botched). Ive bought a handful of manhood sleeves as an adult, generally useful but not always. What would be better is if we stop genital cutting.

Circumcision strips the penis of much of its erogenous tissue, along with sexual and protective functions.

Circumcision is a mild form of castration that results in a dried out penis head. Circumcised men are also missing the erogenous foreskin & nerves & have less pleasure. They can orgasm & have the ability to pro create but are always chasing a satisfaction they’ll never find.

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.

THIS WOMAN SEEMS TO KNOW AT LEAST A COMPARTMENTALIZED SECTION OF THE TRUTH: I find it very interesting that this woman talks about the contracts with what she calls the "Greys" existing, but what I find extremely interesting is how does she know that this contract expired? I have only released that information recently and I am the only whistleblower that has ever said that I even gave the time when it expired and why. And it originally was with one of the 11 types of Grey species; ETE-1. In light of that, I find This woman's story to be credible. And in the context of her father, I would have to assume they once he found these documents he called her or text her and told her but he found them and he would be leaving with them. Otherwise how would she know? The accident could have been a coincidence, maybe not. But I find her story to be extremely credible because she knew something that no one else knew before I released it. Take a listen;

Here is the actual GOP candidate for President of the United States attempting to say something about Mark Zuckerberg which is literally all I can figure out from this 90-SECOND LONG SENTENCE. 😵‍💫 “So Mark Zuckerberg called me first of all he called me a few times she called me after the event that he said that was really amazing it was very brave and you know and he actually announced he's not going to support a Democrat because he can't because he respected me for what I did that day I think what I did maybe was a norm to me it was a normal response but I was called by Mark Zuckerberg yesterday the day before on this same subject and he actually apologized he said they made a mistake etc etc in the correcting mistake a Google nobody called from Google one of the things I do in a show like yours you you show you know you see them Fox but what you really see it is all over the place they take clips of your show that you're doing right now with me and if I do a good job they're going to vote for me they're going to vote for me because it's not just on Fox it's on Fox is a smaller part of it you're on all over this those little beautiful cell phones you're on you're all over the place you have a product you have a great product you have a great brand so you have to get out you have to get out you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad they've been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google isn't going to be close to shut down because I don't think Congress is going to take it I really don't think so Google has to be careful now I will say this I believe Mark Zuckerberg he called me so he called me a lot they are working and I think they fixed it but what can he's not doing what he did four years ago with the five hundred million dollars I don't believe.”

EWB SIXTH EP #EnemiesWithBenefitsEP6 #JANHAE gosh jan talking about what she learned from acting in gl 😭❤️ 🦊: for me, i have acted in series for about 10 years, and probably more than 10 series. but the roles have been different. but this series is truly the first time i acted in a GL fully (i.e., as the main character). within the role who has to portray a character, i feel that love between women has this kind of gentleness and sensitivity to it. when it comes to emotions, it made me understand that sensitivity more. honestly, love doesn’t make distinctions in the first place right? whether it’s between man-woman, or anyone else. but when it’s between two women, because we’re women, we tend to have more sensitivity compared with men. so it made me understand this kind of love more

Leave it to Matisse Thybulle for consistently having some of the most introspective quotes in the NBA. Asked him today about how he handled not making Australia's Olympics roster and what he learned from it: "Well, I handled it by getting on a flight and sitting there for 15 hours just thinking about it. What do you learn from it? I guess that, like, nothing's guaranteed. I'd gone into there with an assumption that I would've been on the team and I wasn't, so I guess having to deal with the sense of entitlement I might have had going in there. Yeah, that's a deeper one than just a simple answer, but plenty of stuff to think about and process."

When I tell you the more this man talks, the more I love him! I mean this! 🥹 They were talking about who Ilhan is behind the cameras because he doesn’t share his private life, where he goes on vacation, or what he does, and he was like, let’s say there is a place that is special to me… “When I share something, I think about those who will see it, whether they are at the same level as me, in the same environment, or the same financial strength — and I don’t just mean people who have less, but also those who have more. Maybe they have much more. That’s not an issue at all. I just don’t want anyone to feel a longing or pain there.” And he goes like, “I really cannot do it. Like a meal, a vacation, or something else. I can’t share this! Because I try to show that sensitivity every single time.” Like… HOW am I supposed to not love this man more after hearing him talk like this?! 😭🫂

Jon Rahm on the LIV format: “Yeah, obviously there’s been a bit of a change. There was a lot more about LIV Golf that was attractive to me, right. Yeah, maybe the format was a set back in the past, but at the same time there’s a lot of positives to it as well. And one of the things that a lot of players kept mentioning is you don’t have a wave weather difference, where you can simply get unlucky and you’re out of contention for that tournament. It’s part of the game, I get it, but it’s something you don’t have to deal with anymore. So that part is a very nice aspect. The team is what really made it for me. Being able to be part of a team, represent a team, play for my teammates, with my teammates and against my teammates, is something that to me that has always been very, very special. When you get a victory to share, it’s always better to have a team to share it with. So it’s what was the most attractive part and when we started discussions it gets to a point where even though I’m ambitious, I’m not greedy. So there’s a give and take and the format is something that I can easily overlook, and I’m pretty sure I can learn to enjoy it, I’ll just have to get used to it, but I’m pretty sure I’ll learn to enjoy it. To be honest, the more I started thinking about it, the more I started thinking about my college days that were 3 day tournaments, 54 holes, and everybody warmed up together for the most part. So it shouldn’t be an environment I’m unfamiliar with.” This is from the LIV podcast called “Fairway to Heaven”. Full link:

“I guess this is what they call a mid life crisis. But to me the crisis was the 9 years that I was really unhappy." Bookmark this video—it's long but worth watching. It's the personal story of an MIT educated neurosurgeon who dedicated his life to his profession... only to realize that he was sold a lie. He realized that for most of his patients surgery didn't help and in fact it often made their problems worse. Over time he observed that the patients who improved did it through lifestyle. This is true in every field of medicine. Our system is broken and has lost sight of a fundamental truth: For most illness (not all, but most) the best medicine is exercise, nutrition, belonging, sunshine, nature, peace. The video is also a powerful commentary on what it means to be "successful" and happy. His story is eerily similar to my own (see the link in the comments below for more). Like this guy, I made it to the top of my profession then walked away with no plan. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. It's a reminder to... Be careful what you chase, because you just might get it. But also... It's never too late to start over.

Megyn Kelly responds to Ben Shapiro’s criticisms: “I found it kind of funny that Ben thinks he has the power to decide who gets excommunicated from the conservative movement, which shows a willful blindness about his position in it.” “It reminded me a little of when the girl who was head of our middle school chorus told me she would take all my friends away from me. Chorus? A head cheerleader, maybe. “So I resent the whole thing. I object to the whole thing. Ben and I—he had the nerve to call me a friend right before he called me a despicable coward for not calling out people that he wants called out.” “So he both wants to parent me and be my child. He wants to tell me what I have to do and what I have to say what to and then when I don't, he and some of his friends want to act like utter victims because I won't do what they say. They need me. I have to be their daddy to step in to protect them and I am not their daddy.”

Guiseppe Tornatore on why he chose Monica Belluci for "Malena" (2000): "I chose Monica because. when I met her I had known about this story for five years. I never thought I was going to make a film out of it. But when I met her, she made me think about this story. So, I started thinking about it, maybe just subconsciously. I started to see that it could be possible- to see the character. And this is a story that, until you start to envision the character you don’t think that the character could actually exist. So when I met her I started to think about it- to elaborate on the story in my mind. And after a while I decided to make the film. When I wrote the film, I wrote it for her- I knew that Monica Bellucci would be Malena. That was extraordinary. I love writing knowing in advance who the actors are going to be. It’s happened a few other times. It’s always been a stronger experience." (Guiseppe Tornatore's interview with Rob Larsen, 2000)

This might be the most important video I ever make. It’s not about the mafia. It’s not about money or power. It’s about something far more real—and far more eternal. 50,000 people packed a stadium in Anaheim, not for a concert or a game… but for a message. I was there, and what I witnessed moved me deeply. In this video, I share why I believe the world is starving—not for entertainment, but for truth, strength, and purpose. We talk about real manhood. The manhood of Jesus. The darkness I walked through. And why, today, I’m not going to hell for anybody. If you’ve ever felt lost, tired of the noise, or unsure about where to turn next—this one’s for you.

Steve Jobs on what separates the successful founders from unsuccessful ones Steve is asked what the factors of success and common pitfalls are for young entrepreneurs. He responds: “I get asked this a lot, and I have a pretty standard answer. A lot of people come to me and say, ‘I want to be an entrepreneur.’ And I go, ‘Oh, that’s great, what’s your idea?’ And they say they don’t have one yet. And I say I think you should go get a job as a busboy or something until you find something you’re really passionate about, because it’s a lot of work.” Steve continues: “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You pour so much of your life into this thing, and there are such rough moments in time that most people give up. I don’t blame them. It’s really tough, and it consumes your life. I mean, if you’ve got a family and you’re in the early days of a company, I can’t imagine how one could do it. I’m sure it’s been done, but it’s rough because it’s pretty much an 18-hour-a-day job, 7 days a week for a while. So unless you have a lot of passion about this, you’re not going to survive. You’re going to give it up.” He concludes: “You’ve got to have an idea or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you’re passionate about. Otherwise, you’re not going to have the perseverance to stick it through. And I think that’s half the battle right there.”

Superpower co-founder Max Marchione describes how he went from being a peptide skeptic to a peptide believer: "When I was first introduced to peptides, one of the most esteemed doctors in the US said to me: 'You take so many supplements. Have you explored peptides? Because I think they're a really interesting modality with a few decades of clinical use.'" "When he said that to me, I was like, 'No way. This is BS. I'm not injecting myself with something. That's weird.'" "So what I did is, I went around to around 20 different doctors whose opinions I respect, and I asked them about peptides. Normally when you ask these doctors about anything — you ask about red meat, spinach, [etc.] — they're all divided." "With peptides, all of them except one said 'These are really interesting. I have used these in my patients. I believe endogenous molecules — peptides that exist in our body — are going to be the future of medicine.'" "And those doctors have the incentive not to be wrong. If they're wrong, they could go to jail. If they're wrong, they can have their license stripped. If they're wrong, patients don't come back to them. They have the maximum incentive. And for 10 to 20 years, they still give [peptides] to their patients. And their patients say 'My life changed.'" "You might say it's placebo. My statement is that the patient says their life changes, and the doctor sees that."

Superpower co-founder Max Marchione describes how he went from being a peptide skeptic to a peptide believer: "When I was first introduced to peptides, one of the most esteemed doctors in the US said to me: 'You take so many supplements. Have you explored peptides? Because I think they're a really interesting modality with a few decades of clinical use.'" "When he said that to me, I was like, 'No way. This is BS. I'm not injecting myself with something. That's weird.'" "So what I did is, I went around to around 20 different doctors whose opinions I respect, and I asked them about peptides. Normally when you ask these doctors about anything — you ask about red meat, spinach, [etc.] — they're all divided." "With peptides, all of them except one said 'These are really interesting.

Jim Jarmusch on how he got the idea to make "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999): "It really came about from wanting to work with Forest Whitaker, who I met when I was going to the Super-8 lab when I was working on 'Year of the Horse' (1997), or maybe on the video. I ran into him a couple of times and we would just start talking and he said to me the first time, "Hey, if you ever think of anything for me, let me know, I'd love to work with you." I couldn't get him out of my head, certain qualities that he has and it was more from talking to him as a person than his work. I was very, very moved by his portrayal of Charlie Parker in 'Bird' (1988). I thought it was a beautiful performance, although I'm a big be-bop fan and I did not like the movie in terms of its slant on depicting the life of Bird - how can you make a film about Bird in which Miles Davis is never even mentioned? There were a lot of things really odd to me about it. Miles' estate probably refused to let him use his name. With good reason. They usually use this very soft, gentle, poignant side of Forest and he gets cast as the loveable soft guy. And I'm really attracted to that quality, but there is a whole other side to him, just physically, his presence, there's more there than that and I wanted to get both of those things in a character. So I started thinking how can I do that? He should be a warrior and I thought he should be a hitman, that sort of cliché and then the samurai thing came to me because in eastern-culture warriors, there is a whole spiritual side to their training. If you look at the Shaolin monks in China, they're martial arts experts, but they are priests; they are enlightened religious teachers, but the physical side is also completely intertwined. So that gave me the idea to give him some depth. Then the book 'Hugga Kurai', because it's a text from the 1750s written by an old samurai as a guide to samurai life and philosophy. It contains so many things, minor, mundane details about the food you eat, or how your house is built, how often you clean your armour, to incredibly deep Zen philosophy, and it's all in this book and it jumps from one to the next. Then I just started collecting disparate ideas; I was interested in the decline of organised crime families in New York because I used to live right across from the Gambino family social club in Little Italy, and in the late 70s and early 80s when they were unravelling, and I would always see them on the street - John Gotti and Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano and Neil Belacroche and all those wise guys. So I collected some ideas about them, and the idea of pigeons came from the fact that on the roof behind me, there was an old Italian guy who had a pigeon coop for years. He died just before we started filming actually, and his birds were moved away, but I used to watch him fly his birds a lot and there was something very beautiful in that movement. Sometimes I'd just look out the window on a Saturday morning and see them moving, and the light would shift and they would go from black to white to black to white to black to white, and that was a detail. I would just collect and collect, and then I sat down and tried to weave all these disparate things into something." ("Jim Jarmusch - part three", The Guardian, 2000) P.S: On this day, 27 years ago, "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

Zack Snyder on his dyslexia: "It was a challenge for me when I was, you know, young in school, and all I wanted to do was make movies because that was the thing that I got great pleasure from and reward from. I love books, and I'm an avid reader, but I just have a hard time because of the way that I perceive. "I've had a great sort of - one side of me anyways - was really satisfied by art and drawing and sculpture and sort of visual expression. And I think that that started to, you know, was the thing that kind of made me feel un-frustrated. And also the way the system was designed, sort of not to support me when I was in high school at that time. "It was very difficult, you know, there was a lot of, you know, just, difficulty. My English teacher in high school was worried about what my career would be, and I'm like. He would be happy to know that I'm in the Writers Guild of America now. "But, I think that that all those things are, they're all... you can transcend all those things with perseverance and with interest and with with help. And I think that that's an important part of it. "And I just think I've had to adapt, and sort of... I have my own style of the way I write, I write all, you know, but I'm pretty prolific. And I love- I listen to tons of audio books on tape, unabridged hours and hours and hours. That's all I do when I'm driving in the car or wherever I'm doing. And it's helped me a lot. "And yeah, I mean, I just hope that anyone who is- feels trapped or frustrated by the world in general. You know, they need to just, I think that we all have like a magic spark, and you need to just find the thing that makes you, you know, inspires you and, and gets you excited and pursue it as hard as you can find your passion in the world.

American in Illinois explains what it was like leaving the Democrat Party “Explaining to my family and friends that I could not, for the life of me again, vote for a Democratic Party again was probably one of the toughest things I ever had to do. And once I made that statement publicly, like on social media and stuff like that, that's when all hell broke loose — I began to lose clients from my business. I had people calling me up talking about, they can't work with somebody who would vote for a racist or a Nazi. — This is real. But it became a matter of my morals, my values, and what I truly wanted to teach my kids. Like, yes, yes. — So business started failing. Friends who I thought were friends, family members stopped talking to me, started talking about me, and then we started having the problem. I put a Trump sticker on my car. What the hell did I do that for? In the middle of the hood with a Trump sticker — That was brave. But I did it because I gave no f*cks because I know how to fight. And surprisingly for me, more people were interested in my decision why than it was people angry with my decision why. And I began to have the opportunity to explain to people why I was making the decision that I was making and even more surprisingly, it made sense to them too.”

Glenn Beck just honored Charlie Kirk in the most powerful way yet...by placing Rush Limbaugh’s golden microphone on the Charlie Kirk Show desk. The mic was a gift from Rush’s widow to Glenn Beck. And now, it sits in front of Charlie’s microphone. Beck then shared a story he had never told before...one he deeply regrets not telling Charlie in person. “I want to share a story…that I’ve never shared before and I so regret that we ran out of time.” “It’s a story that I had hoped to tell Charlie myself in the next couple of months.” “When I first met Charlie…and this is the kind of guy he was…he was so gracious, when I first met him, he was young.” “And I said, so, what do you want to do? What is it you want? What? What do you want to do?” “So gracious, he said, I want to be you. I want to do what you do.” “Let me translate: I want to be Rush Limbaugh. He didn’t want to be me. He wanted to be Rush Limbaugh. He wanted to be one of the, as Rush said, radio’s greatest of all time.” “And I remember thinking, well, kid, maybe someday because I think you have it.” “I brought something with me today that I thought was appropriate while I did the show, that I would sit in front of Charlie’s microphone. It was given to me after the death of Rush Limbaugh by his wife.” “It is Rush’s golden microphone.” “I think it’s appropriate that it sits in front of Charlie’s microphone.” “What I would have said to Charlie was, you were thinking too small.” “I want to be Rush Limbaugh someday.” “I’m a broadcaster. Rush was a broadcaster, but Charlie was a broadcaster and a narrowcaster.” “Charlie was a pastor and a priest.” “And listening to the way he could argue and think differently, he was a rabbi as well, and one of the best.” “He was a political organizer.” “He was a political think tank himself.” “He was a compassionate friend.” “He surpassed Rush Limbaugh…by miles.”
