From PsychologyToday.com comes this "shocking" report on collected research from five areas of men's sexual health. (I would say more "interesting" than shocking, but hype sells.) Here are some of the highlights. (You can read the full story here.)

In terms of guys having "sex on the brain", where the prevailing belief has been that men think about sex about every seven seconds, their research says it's not true. According to the Kinsey Report (Sexual Behavior in the Human Male), 43 percent of us only think about sex a few times a week or a few times a month, and 4 percent have it cross their minds less than once a month. (I believe the technical term for that is "Married Man".)

Sitcoms may be right. A sex-starved man married to a disinterested wife may not be a plot-line created just for cheap laughs. According to the article, "As it turns out, the instant a woman enters a secure relationship, her sex drive begins to plummet." (Especially if she's married to Jim Belushi.)

On how we "measure up": the Psychology Today report found that there is no clear or reliable figure for the average length of our "little buddy". However, the Journal of Urology puts the average at 5.08 inches, and the International Journal of Impotence Research puts it at 5.35 inches. (The only time you'd be better off choosing Impotence.)

And once we are having sex, how long do we "perform"? Their surveys showed that the average sex session lasts from three to ten minutes. That's with a partner. Without? According to the story, "the average hotel porn viewer watches for just 12 minutes." (Of course. I have an early meeting in the morning.)

Men's Health recently posted a piece on foods that are incredibly good for you, but not many guys eat them. Considering one is a weed called purslane, I'm not surprised.

What makes the article a must-read is not just telling us what we should be eating and what the health benefits are, but including a section on how to prepare and eat them. Which in most cases is easier than you think. (Purslane? Just add it to a salad. Even though it's a weed it has a mild, lemony taste.)

The top ten are: Beets, Cabbage, Guava, Swiss chard, Cinnamon, Purslane, Pomegranate juice, Goji berries, Dried plums, and Pumpkin seeds. And to see why they made the list and the best way to eat them, click here.

I'm a big weekend napper. About 20 minutes of afternoon recharging on the couch, and I'm good to go all night.

During the week I also have the urge to shut down for a few, but I've always been embarrassed about actually doing it. At one of my early jobs, the head of sales used to close his door and sleep for a half hour, and he was constantly ridiculed for being "lazy". Turns out he was probably more informed than the rest of us. And more alert.

Recent studies are showing that a short 20 minute "power nap" in the middle of the day can do more for you than a jolt of caffeine. And they keep you going until it's time to wind down for good and hit the sheets. Meaning you won't crash on the couch after the evening news, or more importantly, during happy hour.

If you are thinking of converting from Non Napper to Power Napper read this informative post on the 10 Benefits of Power Napping, and How to Do It from ririanproject.com. Besides giving you info on why, when and how to nap, it also lists the different types and lengths of naps so you can see which one is best for you, like the two-five minute Micro-nap or the 50-90 minute Lazy Man's Nap. As for me, I'm going to close my door for a 20 minute Original Power Nap.

We've all seen or heard of the studies showing that moderate drinking has some health benefit. (Some of us have even celebrated them.) But everyone's definition of "moderate" is different. What's moderate to Lindsay Lohan might be a three-day bender to you and me.

So how much alcohol is actually helpful and how much does it take to turn harmful? A lot less than you think is the answer for both.

CBS News and WebMD reported on a "state-of-the-art review of drinking and health by University of Missouri cardiologist James H. O'Keefe, M.D., and colleagues" which showed that more than one drink a day for women and more than two a day for guys ends up causing more harm than good.

What do they consider "one drink"? They define it as "a 12-ounce bottle of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled liquor which all have between 13 and 15 grams of alcohol." And they found that just a little more than that a day will start to do some damage.

No word on whether you can "bank" your daily drinks. Have five Saturday night then not drink again until Thursday. But I'm guessing that would be a no. You can read the full article here.
