Everyone works under pressure these days. Timelines, guidelines, or sidelined. Gotta do this, gotta do that. Your meanest, your maddest, your baddest. Too much, too soon, too fast. C’mon connect, conduct and conclude. Maybe this is fine in small doses and makes us the productive little bees that we are. But might it also be […]
I take care of men for a living and easily the most common question I’m asked is this: “While you’re down there Doc, can you tell me if I’m…you know…normal?” From a hot potato standpoint, I liken this question to when my wife asks me how she looks in a dress.
