Posted by John Dugan on Friday, June 21, 2013, In : Men's Health 

Most men do not spend a lot of time primping themselves in the mirror - though there are certainly men who are exceptions to that rule. Generally, a quick comb of the hair, a shave and a brushing of the teeth are all the time a man spends admiring his mug before jetting out the door to work.

However, any man who has taken a mirror down there...

A recent posting to a men’s health forum described a young man with a common problem:

Hi, I am 18 years old, and I just had sex for the first time. We didn’t use protection, but she said she was clean, and I know I don’t have anything.
